How do you not have Johnny Mnemonic?

Hackers

How’s The Peripheral?

• Ghost in the Shell (1995 film)

• Robocop

• Elysium

If good is not a requirement go get Freejack.

1995 The Net

Altered Carbon S1

If you have Escape From New York, you should also have Escape From LA.

Minority Report and the sixth day

My favorites I don’t see!

A Scanner Darkly
Tetsuo: The Iron Man

Campy ones, if you’re into that:
Space Truckers
Cherry 2000
964 Pinocchio
Nemesis

Hardware

Not 100% sure it qualifies but i believe so, i enjoyed the dredd movie with carl urban

Serious question - does the '93 Mario Brothers count?

Upgrade (2018)

Here are a couple “cult” movies:

• Hardware (1990) - not a “good” movie, but never boring and very worth watching. Great soundtrack, fun cameos, several interesting ideas.

• Johnny Mnemonic (1995) - the best really bad cyberpunk movie. A very fun watch, if you’re sufficiently protected from cringeing to death. Apparently there’s a 2022 black and white cut that has a much better feel, but I’ve never seen it.

• Videodrome (1983) - it’s got lowlifes, it’s got high tech (for that time and place), it’s got urban dystopias, and it’s got evil corporations. I’d argue it’s “proto-cyberpunk”. Irregardless, it’s one of the best SF horror movies ever made. Yes, right up there with Alien, arguably better bc it has more to say about how technology mediates reality and bc it really gets in your head. Heh.

I’d definitely recommend adding Space Sweepers for something fun and upbeat (for cyberpunk).

For a scifi horror with more cyberpunk elements than you might expect, I’d suggest Morgan (2016).

Soldier (1998) might be too much of a stretch but it’s got a lot of the elements (minus an evil corporation) and it’s a solid film.

Edit: I forgot Outland! It’s great, plot is basic but works, actors are fun (it’s got Sean Connery) and the aesthetics/sets are prime Alien/Aliens territory. I think of it as being set in the Aliens universe.

Battle Angel Alita was a lot of fun. (Admittedly, I’m a sucker for good action sequences.)

“Mars express”, “Ghost in the shell”, and “Alita”; Brazil is a classic; The most recent Dredd movie is a lot of fun. I like Existence tho it veers more into “biopunk” if you make those distinctions. “Tetsuo the iron man” Is probably my favorite cyberpunk movie; It also has one of the best industrial soundtracks ever made. “Elysium” and “District 9” were very high regarded at the time. Brandon Cronenberg’s movies are also pretty rad as well. More subdued but they easily get under your skin. I really love “antiviral” and “possessor” ; again like daddy Cronenberg they tend to veer into biopunk territory.

I’d add “Tokio gore police.”; “Full metal yakuza” and “Electric Dragon 80.000 V” from some good ol’ Japanese craziness.

Terminator

Metropolis

1992 - sneakers 1975 - rollerball 1982 - TRON 2002 - equilibrium 1989 - cyborg 1994 - timecop 2015 - chappie 1995 - 12 monkeys 1992 - the lawnmower man 2002 - minority report

A bit of a stretch for cyberpunk, but Alphaville (1965) is awesome (and has lemmy in it’s alternative tilte).

Also THX 1138 (1971)

Ghost in the shell both the original movie and the first two seasons of the of og anime are both classic cyberpunk media

Trying to avoid the already great recs, for varying levels of cyberpunk themes or aesthetics…

Movies Gattaca 1997 Elysium 2013 Ex Machina 2015

TV Almost Human Cowboy Bebop (any) Devs Incorporated (highly recommend!) Max Headroom

Does Equilibrium count as Cyberpunk?

Equilibrium

Aeon Flux, you gotta get the animated series though!

I’ll endorse Hackers also, very heavy with style

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”.
