There are actually quite a few movies that have an electrical/electronic engineering theme! Some popular ones include "The Imitation Game" which follows the story of Alan Turing and his work on breaking the Enigma code during World War II. Another great one is "The Social Network" which chronicles the creation of Facebook and the role of computer programming in its development.

Other notable films include "The Matrix" which explores the concept of a simulated reality and the use of technology to control humanity, "Tron" which takes place inside a computer system and features advanced computer graphics, and "Hackers" which delves into the world of computer hacking and cybercrime.

There are also some documentaries that focus on specific aspects of electrical/electronic engineering, such as "Transistorized!" which looks at the history and impact of the transistor, and "The Code: Story of Linux" which follows the development of the Linux operating system.

I hope this gives you some ideas for movies to watch that feature an electrical/electronic engineering theme!
