Kathryn Bigelow. I think Cameron helped produce, but she directed it. I think they were in a relationship at the time, too.

That was the zest of my jest.

As far as rating THE defining cyberpunk flicks of that era...I'd have to go:

Strange Days

eXistenZ

Johnny Nmemonic

Lawnmower Man

...and I suppose that low budget arthouse first year philosophy crash course The Matrix can duke it out with Tank Girl for an honorable mention.

However...worthy of note...Strange Days featured a absolute banger of a Skunk Anansie choon on the soundtrack:

I saw this in early 1994, all of these movies were made after then... I believe this movie was from the 80s, as it featured a LaserDisc...

LaserDisc continued until like 2000. If anything, LaserDisc had its most "popularity" in the 90s.

ok, well this was on the tv at a motel I was staying at while skiing in early 1994.. It could not have been a new movie at that time, so it has to be a film from before 94.

The only other 2 I can think of that have 1st person pov shots around that time is Brainstorm (1983) and The Lawnmower Man (1992)
