OK, this is my favorite stuff. true sci-fi expands the mind, inputs new ideas and thought patterns into one's brain.
Some cyberpunky movies HARDWARE - low-budget cyberpunk movie. post-a[pocalyptic scavenger finds an old army robot in pieces and brings it home for his girlfriend, a sculptor, to use. the robot rebuilds itself as programmed and chaos ensues. very claustrophobic and beautifully shot. washed out colors. guest appearances by Lemmy Kilmister and Iggy Pop. Great soundtrack includes PIL, Motorhead, ministry... EVENT HORIZON - Lawrence Fishburn stars in this movie about a ship that travelled to the far reaches of the universe and has returned. His crew go to explore it. extremely taut and freaky movie. I had to stop it a couple of times to chill out. maybe I am a pussy but it scared me! Dark City - A man awakes to find the world around him shifting and chaniging while everyone else sleeps. Crazy fucking movie. I second a lot of the choices listed above. all good stuff.

if you want sci fi i agree with whoever said Brazil. great movie. i also like rollerball.... regular movies- have you ever seen anything by jules dassin? he is a brilliant director formthe 50s. i recomend Night in the City, THe Naked City or his masterpeice Riffifi, which was one of the greatestr films i have ever seen. brilliant film noir in french. as for PKD i have read THe man in the high castle flow my tears, the policeman said a scanner darkly radio free albemuth. i would either start with TMHC or mabe radio free albemuth. those being my favorite, but i think anything by him would be interesting. ubik is also supposed to be great. and Valis. you could also watch classic so good its bad movies, like Plan 9 From Outer Space

Tron-Haven't seen it in years, but despite the outdated effects, I think it still holds up.

Hardware is actually more true to "cyberpunk" than any movie out there but for Blade Runner.
and it is not perfect but I like it!

Bejing Bicycle - Such a beautiful film, seen it in an art centre recently
The Quasi Trilogy - A must see classics, The films require patience but if you give them the time of day you won't be sorry. Crossing The Bridge: The Sound of Istanbul: Einstürzende Neubauten's Alexander Hacke presents an impressive look into the music scene in Istanbul. Even if Documentary film is not your idea of light entertainment you should definately check out this film.

balls. dark city is overrated in my opinion-- some people think it's the greatest movie ever but cmon.... scanners though, rules hey i thought cronenberg "left you cold"?? make up your mind :P oh yeah. cronenberg fucking rules. which reminds me, Existenz would be a kind of cyberpunk movie and hardware, yes i've said that before, may be a bit trashy, but it's damn good in its own low rent way! |

Indeed. High on tension, low on plot.
I once asked a friend what he thought that movie was about exactly, and he said "What do you mean? He's turning into metal; that's what it's about!" |

i already reccomended those films!
anyway, my thoughts.. iron man is good but overrated.. body hammer is good and underrated... and everything else that guy directed is probably a little better.. he's nuts... anyway, as i said a few posts back, pinnochio 964... that's THE cyberpunk movie, friends.. |

Ok, I'm gonna watch Tetsuo Iron Man this weekend.
I watched Dune last night (that is what inspired me to notice that the hummus box had the word melange) and I liked it. It seemed though that there was simply way too much in that plot for just 137 minutes. It seems like the pressure of Hollywood success made the movie suffer. I think Lynch wanted to make it as literal and straightforward for main stream audiences as possible, and I think that hurt it as well. |
