"Starring the Computer" is a website that catalogs computer models that have appeared in movies.[1][2] The website was started in 2008 by James Carter, a system administrator from York, England.[3] According to the website, the computers that are most featured in movies are the IBM AN/FSQ-7, Commodore 64, Apple II and the Burroughs B205.[2]
The website rates scenes out of five stars on importance to the plot, realism (how real it is) and visibility (how much you can see).[4]
