I think Minority Report also as some good insights on drones and AR and the "EDITS" one can do on data :)

That was a thrilling movie.

Yes, I did watch it.  And I thought that the AR was cool.  Speilberg had talked to quite a few futurists on making that movie.  It's getting dead on, unfortunately.  Although the RFID chips are a reality already (I think I'll be a shadowrunner when they start forcing those things on us.  After all, take the RFID chip and there is no going back).

The Expendables

For an effective (if dated) demonstration of the split between haves & have-nots:

Metropolis (the Fritz Lang silent film. The Moroder score may be more mood-appropriate, but the latest long edit with rediscovered footage is best)

For violent antiheroes coming together, and everything going wrong that can:

Pulp Fiction (I'm running the Free RPG Day scenario and am SOO tempted to have John Travolta walk out of the men's room...)
Resevoir Dogs (One time, our GM described the location our group was in as "kind of like the warehouse in Resevoir Dogs" at which point we asked if that meant that things were going to end that badly.

Of course, Shadowrun is more than cyberpunk--otherwise the name would be different.  ;D

Do people have any suggestions about "urban fantasy" movies/TV that work for a Shadowrun mood?

My wife & I started watching Dylan Dog, but have found the acting utterly atrocious so far.

The trailers for Sorcerer's Apprentice (Nicholas Cage, not Mickey Mouse) look promising, but what do people think?

Hurm. What about the TV series Beauty and the Beast?

Not cyberpunk per se, but for great looks at different criminal underworlds The Wire, The Shield, and Sons of Anarchy.

I can't believe no one has mentioned
Escape from New York
and
Escape from LA

Two awesome movies based on these cities being massive prison cities of the future that Kurt Russel (Snake) has to break into and extract someone back to civilization before a cortex bomb blows his head off (or something similar)

sorcerers apprentice was pretty good but only SR if your wanting to do a mage war. Maybe play in a dragon civil war campaign. Beauty and the beast Tv series along with Dark Angel (Jessica Alba, le sigh) are good for urbans. A-Team of course, both the orriginal series and the latest movie wth liam Neeson
May god grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, to change the things I can, and the firepower to make the difference.

Suicide is never the answer, now homicide on the other hand, that has posibilities.

The Big Hit (Mark Whalberg, Lou Diamond Philips) - A nice light hearted action/crime romp. Good for seeing the 'good guy' in a run, and general shadow politics and backstabs.

Also, I second Burn Notice. It's good on the 'clever ideas' side of things.
