Unavailable outside the UK, or at least that's the message I'm getting.

My personal vote would be for the first Terminator movie, where Arnold was apparently running on a 6502 microprocessor.

Does it work if you change the co.uk to .com?

I found this one the most interesting: http://moviecode.tumblr.com/post/119171520870/in-the-movie-e...

On a slight tangent - if you enjoyed this article, you'll probably like http://www.pushing-pixels.org, which has many interviews with designers of TV screen graphics and fantasy user interfaces.

Jurassic Park with that weird 3-d graphical tree file system and the girl geek exclaiming roughly "Cool, its Unix!" gets my vote.[1]

FSN was a real, although experimental, viewer.

There was FSV which was an open source version, and there's a newer version discussed here: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTg4MTk

EDIT:

> It's also worth bringing up a project with similar aim which was Sun's Project Looking Glass and powered by Java but that Java 3D desktop has been canned for many years now.

Holy moly this is terrifying.

In a similar vein to this, /r/itsaunixsystem is worth checking out.
