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:

"The Limey" - Terrance Stamp stars as a recently paroled thief and generally terrible person who is called to LA to after his astranged daughter dies suddenly.
A quirky and emotional revenge tale told in that early Steven Soderberg style which shades of a classic Donald Westlake novel.
Speaking of Westlake...
"Charlie Varrick" is a massively under rated gem. My favorite Walter Mathau role as he totally plays against type as the classic Westlake protagonist...the absolute worst person in the world cross and then leave alive. Charlie is an amoral criminal mastermind out for revenge against after being left for dead and done dirty ona job by Liberace.
