Maybe it's time to define cyberpunk.

Cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction set in a dystopian future. It is characterized by its focus on a combination of "low-life and high tech". It features a range of futuristic technological and scientific achievements, including artificial intelligence and cyberware, which are juxtaposed with societal collapse, dystopia or decay. A significant portion of cyberpunk can be traced back to the New Wave science fiction movement of the 1960s and 1970s. During this period, prominent writers such as Philip K. Dick, Michael Moorcock, Roger Zelazny, John Brunner, J. G. Ballard, Philip José Farmer and Harlan Ellison explored the impact of technology, drug culture, and the sexual revolution. These authors diverged from the utopian inclinations prevalent in earlier science fiction.

How about Metropolis (1927 film) ?

Seems to me that The Matrix franchise should have a 5-in-a-row feature day. Maybe LotR too.

For the poll plz - Gaytrix Part 1: Massive American top Colby Jansen goes "down the rabbit hole" of legendary Hungarian bottom Peter Baranyai (as Darius Ferdynand) in this gay porn spoof of The Matrix.

I've waited for others to upvote this, as discussed in the chat, but alas, de gustatibus non disputandum (there's no accounting for taste).

Here are some suggestions for future movie nights:

Also, the best to double feature with The Parallax View (1974) is another critical-political flick Winter Kills (1979).

While you're on that Classic Conspiro-Political Movies theme, another double feature: Three Days of the Condor (1975) and the very fictional All the President's Men (1976) which was still gripping. Still haven't seen the Redford flick, The Candidate (1972).

@x0x7 Please add these themes:

  • Conspiro-Political movies from the 1930s & 1940s
  • Conspiro-Political movies from the 1950s & 1960s
  • Conspiro-Political movies from the 1970s & 1980s
  • Conspiro-Political movies from the 1990s & 2000s
  • Conspiro-Political movies from the 2010s & 2020s
  • Actor: Robert Redford
  • Double features that are related somehow
  • Westerns

It might also be good to clearly say what category it is. ie. Actor, Director, DIY, Genre, Period, Topic, etc.

Why does Documentaries have "Was Jason's idea"?

Huh, I'd watch Winter Kills. Haven't seen that one... I don't think so anyway.
