Matthew Broderick's character is so adorable I just want to eat him up with a spoon. And his parents were a hoot. The girl I always found rude and annoying, though.
This movie brings back my youth. :)

Didn't John Badham also direct Saturday Night Fever? He's Mary Badham's brother, the actress who played Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird. I think I've got all this right. I'm too lazy to look it up right now.

I was Air Force and I worked in SAC underground headquarters - it looked a lot like that. If I'd been working down there - I had very recently worked 3 floors underground in the SAC headquarters back when War Games came out, and if I'd seen those screens light up with all those nucs (luckily, I never did), I'd have fainted.

love this movie! still do! i watch it every 2-3 years! i really wish they would do a remake that still had the same earthy quality and human failure that this one does!
my husbands mom works at norad and he said the depiction of the norad base was accurate in the 80's but soon after they closed off he base "tours" to everyone! wish i could see what it looks like now!!!!
