10. Escape From New York's Electrical Tape Computers
John Carpenter€™s 1981 sci-fi action classic is a high point in the near-perfect early period of his career, starring Kurt Russell as a rebellious, eye-patch clad anti-hero drafted in by a totalitarian US government to rescue the president. Who has unfortunately crash landed in the future dystopian New York City, which has been cordoned off and used a prison for the country's most dangerous criminals. Yes, both Arkham City and Metal Gear Solid totally ripped this film off, but it comes from a time before computer graphics were quite up to snuff. Therefore all the digital readouts seen in the film - mostly wireframes - were made by making big black cardboard models with luminous electrical tape as the "pixels".
