Hey, so this is the list of movies on my local media server which are tagged as "cyberpunk". I am looking for suggestions on more movies I should add to this list. Cheers,

ETA: Well, OK, this should keep me busy for a while. Thanks - y'all are amazing and awesome.

I don't think I'd call Dark City really cyberpunk. I don't know what you'd call it. Retro-1940s but in a sci-fi environment?

checks Wikipedia

Wikipedia calls it "neo-noir".

    It's part of a wave of tech noir movies that came out of the late 90s, along with e.g. Gattaca, The Matrix, Strange Days, eXistenZ, 12 Monkeys... I'll also count The Thirteenth Floor, even though it's an adaptation of a 1964 novel that had already been adapted in the 70s (and very well, for that matter).

    (One addendum: The Matrix feels slightly out of place but that's because it brought more action and innovative special effects to the mix and ended up all but ending the genre as audiences demanded more of that now.)

    Those movies were good watchin'.
