Of those three, I've only seen Sneakers, and IMHO it's an okay
movie for inspiration for those sneaky runs where you can't go in
shooting everyone in sight. Plus of course for that moment where
they show that tech isn't the answer to everything :)
Robocop is also a good SR movie, I feel. Robocop himself would
be just about feasible in SR (using cybermancy or very high-
grade ware), ED-209 is sort of doable, but what I really mean is
the world -- there's a megacorp (OCP) with different branches
fighting each other (Dick Jones vs. Bob Morten), the police is
being privatized, crime is rampant, the city is depressing, and so
on...
