I’m a huge fan of 1983’s WarGames starring Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy. The film, currently available with a Prime Subscription, also has a wonderful supporting cast that includes Dabney Coleman, Barry Corbin, James Tolkan, and John Wood, who plays Professor Stephen Falken. It’s that last role that I recently learned was originally conceived to be played by none other than John Lennon. That wouldn’t come to pass, of course, but I find myself daydreaming about what it would have been like.
