Repo is one of the worst movies made, I was so mad I wasted $7's to see that shit, then a bunch of fat goth kids gave it a standing ovation. Rage

Robocops definitely one of my favorites

I know Cowboy Bebop isn't very cyberpunk but I think it's awesome and sci-fi enough to get a mention :D

Other then that Blade Runner is simply epic
All the pros got dat Ichie.

Ghost in the Shell is undoubtedly one of the best cyberpunk movies. The Stand Alone Complex series is possibly even better as a work of science fiction.

Blade Runner is also great, but truth be told, sci-fi in general (and cyberpunk in particular) is pretty poorly represented in most mainstream film+tv media. What with prospective Hollywood adaptations like Neuromancer, Forever War, Battle Angel Alita, GitS, etc. etc. that'll hopefully change for the better. Wait, who am I kidding?

If you liked Neuromancer, definitely check out Snow Crash, and with a more modern flavour, Rainbows End.

Texhnolyze is an amazing cyberpunk anime series. One of the best shows i've watched overall as well. Highly recommend it.

This is archetypal cyberpunk (meaning it's probably exactly what you are looking for, but at the same time that it doesn't have the most original story elements), and the main draw is how well it creates a unique visual experience that goes hand in hand with that feel.


All the films listed so far are between decent and great, but this one...it just sucks. It sucks badly. The story is simplistic, the characters are transparent (specially the hero), the dialogues seem to have been written by me when I was 11, the visuals get boring really fast (GITS' ones are WAY better), the final twist leaves no room for any interpretation, it is just a lame moral shit that is SO expected...and the thing is it's French, I'd like to defend it in any way but I fucking can't.


Hehe, reading this from a frenchman made me giggle

Just watched War Games again because of this thread - Not at all as impressive as I remember it - But it raises a relevant discussion.

EDIT -

Oh, and btw - I am not really 100% sharp on what exactly defines a Cyperpunk movie - Gathering from what I've seen so far, I would like to throw in the Firefly serie.

Unfortunately, it not a big succes and was canceled after only 1 season (Plus the movie, Serenity).

If you like the Starcraft-theme of cowboys/rednecks in space, that serie is definetly one for you

i think most of the must watch stuff got mentioned, tho i find it funny that no one mentioned the matrix, sure the trilogy sucked but the first movie by itself is pretty good.

Oh! and Blame is supposed to be getting a movie!

Definitely check out the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series.. ESPECIALLY the first season with the laughing man arc. Definitely the best cyberpunk anime series I've seen

as for movies, my favorites are:
Akira (best hands down)
The Matrix
The 5th Element

And how about Armitage III?
Also, Gamer was pretty good when we're talking about recent stuff.

Still no one mentioned Equilibrium?

Still no one mentioned Equilibrium?

But is it cyberpunk?
If we're including this, toss in 1984 too.

Equilibrium isn't cyberpunk it's 1984 vs the matrix in film format.

A Scanner Darkly/Dark City are probably the best films, but for "got me into the whole thing", Akira/GITS.

Still love the original GITS movie, so good for it's time.

hands down the best; the first too for dome if you don't count metropolis; bladerunner did more for the cyberpunk genre than any other.. my personal favorite will always be THX-1138 but arguably some will consider include it pre-cyberpunk
anyway this thread is owned by this site: http://cyberpunkreview.com/
hope it helps tl cp fans ~

Max Headroom getting no love. That series was completely cyberpunk and WAY ahead of its time. Another one I'm not sure got mentioned is circuitry man.

Blade Runner. I was only a little girl when I first watched it and it blew me away.

wtf, not even one mention of the Tetsuo series?

if you haven't seen it before, its an extremely dark (think David Lynch multiply by 10), cyberpunk japanese movies, its pretty disturbing at times but a pretty good film imo..
