The short story of New Rose Hotel felt more cyberpunk than the movie ended up being, but it was well cast.

Johnny Mnemonic was a decent cyberpunk movie.

I'm eager to see if the Neuromancer movie ever gets made. It's been in production limbo forever.

I feel like Neuromancer is one if those books that just doesn't work on movie, but would still like to see the train wreck.

Babylon AD is my go to for this question. It's a silly action flick, but the world was well presented.

Another googd one imo is Repo Men.

Death Machine. Escape From New York. Ghost In the Shell. Lain. Terminal Entry.

+1 for Lain. It's my favorite type of cyberpunk, not an abstract distant future, but low life, high tech right here, right now.

Strange Days was definitely a major inspiration for the game.

For the genre, maybe: Ghost in the Shell (1995), Blade Runner, Upgrade, Elysium

Johnny Mnemonic taught me all I wanted to know about Cyberpunk in 1995. You could call it poetic justice he came back for Cyberpunk 2077 to cement the genre.
