I'm trying to compile a list of must-see movies to get the mood right for Shadowrun and the setting. Specifically the corp culture.

Here are a few to start off. In no particular order.

Aliens - A bit higher tech than SR, but just feel that atmosphere. Also if you want to know how a fight with a 6th world supernatural horror (not necessarily one of the Horrors) would go down look no further than the Alien.

Resident Evil - Umbrella Corp, do I need to say more? Though Red Queen is a much more functional AI than any in SR (Hey she was right about containment wasn't she?).

Blade Runner - Perhaps the defining cyberpunk movie. Though I don't know which version is the best.

BubbleGum Crisis - The tech might not exactly fit SR style but the Knight Sabers are defiantly a runner team.

Ghost in the Shell - Another anime/manga series that fits well into the feeling of cyberpunk and SR.

Day Watch - For magic mixed with a modern setting.

I need more.
