Sorry only WHOLE movies, not part of a movie. You can even find a few seconds of good story telling in nearly every sci-fi flick, but that does not qualify this movie for this list.
I also got an Acorn Archimedes but a more simplier model - the A 3000. But I could use this model to demonstrate on my university that assembler languages can be more sophisticated than the given model language - which ran as a interpreted simulation on a pc. I simply wrote two assembler programs - one for my Archimedes and the other for the simulation and then compared both to each other. The auditor was very impressed by the result and got very interested in this kind of existing hardware.
I also started in middle of the 80s with a Commodore C64 and a tape drive. I connected this fine piece to my moms tv set and started only a few minutes after to "program" by simply typing the documentations examples and got very fascinated by its easiness... I loved this computer very much and nowadays I often use the simulated version of it on different devices like my PC or my iPad and so on... by the way, my second computer was a fine british piece called Acorn Archimedes, which had some cpu which was groundbreaking for todays technology: The ARM processor - whose descendants are widespread in the mobile world. This british computer also can be found as a simulation on Raspberries and also on PCs. The connection of a fast BASIC interpreter - which was not normal at that time - and a direct integrated ASSEMBLER was astonishingly very comfortable. So development of fast solutions on this system was very easy.
... foreign countries companies will - not would like to - finish their contracts with american data and computer companies. Therefore it makes much sense to lay off masses of affected programmers. Thank you Donald for this (un-)presidential order. In acting so you will not be able to create new jobs but destroy many existing ones!
... because of the neccessary accelleration to reach a velocity of more than 1000 km per hour or 277,7777 m per second. The accelleration must be high enough to reach the speed on the distance - and the neccessary time. I would recommend a two phase travel where both phases are timed equally. The first phase is for acceleration - the second phase to deceleration. You have to accelerate for 360 seconds. By doing so you travelled a mere 80km. That makes an acceleration of nearly an eighth g or 1,2 m per square second. By accelerating at such a rate the system reaches a top spead of nearly 1555 kilometers per hour - or better Mach 1,3. Any lower top speed needs a far higher beginning acceleration. And here is the problem: No cup of any coffee, tea or some other beverage will stand still while accelerating - like shown in the video. The travellers are more struggeling with accelerations in both directions, than be interested in drinking....

Fully agree but this movies' genre is a mere mystery movie. But the movies' story itself - WOW!!!
Microsoft stole the visual assets of Ringworld with its computer game HALO...

Only the first movie! The successors do not even got near the same level...
Please only the original from 1951. The remake with Keanu Reeves as Clathu was a heartless and breathless interpretation of the original...
"Edge Of Tomorrow" - a clever sci-fi interpretation of "Groundhog day" with a good choice of a cast
