In lots of skintight outfits...

I always liked Hardware.

Yep. We're talking about the same movie. Diff'rent strokes, I guess.

Edit: Its got Iggy Pop and Dylan McDermont...

I like to think a balance between Blade Runner and Batman Begins shows off what New Seattle would be like. The large, looming skyscrapers, the monorail, the horrific nature of the Barrens... Fifth Element also serves this purpose.

As for actual runs, hmm. What's the anime with the 3 seperate stories about what basically amounts to a trio of Runners? One hunts a vampire, one takes on a droid, and the last one... I remember it involves a shedload of tripwires.

I can see the point on Léon... think of him as her Level 3 contact

Total Recall and Running Man. The latter especially, just for the fact the game's a little like Urban Brawl with a twist.

For runs, I always wish I could run something like Snatch or Stock, Lock and Two Smoking Barrels, where there are multiple seemingly unrelated, simultaneous story lines that suddenly collide violently.

Maybe when I get another co-GM or two.

I'd love to do an extraction or protection run at a busy concert a la Maria Mercurial. Meanwhile, another group is leading an assassination attempt at a super-secure VIP. I wouldn't even need to tie the two jobs together. Somehow I suspect each group will step on the other's toes, especially with a little nudge now and again.

Well, I made a post all of its own for it, but naturally it should be mentioned here aswell.

Strange Days, from 1995. Its about a BTL pusher who gets into a conspiracy and has to wiggle his way out of the jam with help from his friends. Very obvious archetypes, Decker, Streetsam, Gangers etc.

Not a bad movie. At first I was barely following it, but it caught my attention and kept it. (I had the TV running in my periphery vision when it came on)

If you're a GM looking for ways to complicate a run without making it seemed contrived, I reccomend The Big Lebowski. It's basically a whole bunch of events that SEEM related, but really aren't. Add a few random people with their own unrelated set of goals to a run, and your players won't know which way is up.

Also, The Dude and his buddies are great examples of what NOT to do on a run.

Sin City is another good shadowrunesque film. The asian chick with the swords and Elija Woods character scream Physical Adept.

Daredevil. Best movie EVAR.


Just kidding.

I just saw "Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the whole damn movie is a Shadowrun! It was awesome! See it.

Ravenous.

Best Windego movie ever.
