What movies would everyone recommend for Shadowrun? And what's
"Shadowrunny" (ew!) about them?

My alltime favoried is ..... Wild Palms.
Realy sadistic strange story.
A plots synopsis that is hard to get by, In the first time
I have barly understand whats going on after the second episode.
No more spoiling yet . . .

Shadowrunny, hmmm I think its a good portray what can had happened
before the crash of `29.

My recommandation is go and try to find it and see it, but bewarned.
The whole thing ist 270mins long and you need every second to
stay in touch with the plot if you see it the first time.

Good luck in locating a copy of it, its realy hard to find but worth
the trouble.

Usual Suspects is a good "Shadowrunny" movie, which gave me lots of
PC and NPC ideas. I also like Sneakers, and Heat, mentioned
previously, which both show the merits of good planning.
For an exaggerated idea of what can go wrong with a looney in your
group, see Resevoir Dogs. :)
Blade Runner, Johnny Mnemonic and Strange Days are good movies for
atmosphere.
Also, Grosse Pointe Blank and Seven Heads In A Duffle Bag are
interesting. :)
