"Colossus" is a very interesting movie in the "serious" sci-fi field.
The movie begins with one man crossing rooms and rooms plenty
of memory cabinets, and crossing one practicable bridge that deny
the access to the main computer unit.
Fright final, by the way.
Cheers

Yes, one of my preferred movies about spies of
the seventies.
Some teletypes, terminals and even Dectapes, i think.
Another interesting movie with some old computing items
is "The Falcon and the Snowman" (music of Pat Metheny and
David Bowie, with Sean Penn and Timothy Hutton). There are
some scenes of Hutton in one room of the CIA using old
teletypes ASR33.
In Science Fiction field, I like two movies specially with
some computing interaction: "Colossus", and
"The Andromeda Strain".
But in Andromeda Stain the TTY played a major part in the movie.
Never did see Colossus.
