Probably not in the category of cyberpunk, but eXistenZ is worth watching.

Absolutely! eXistenZ (1999) is a surreal exploration of virtual reality and game concepts. While some might argue it leans more towards bio-punk because of its focus on organic technology, its themes of altered perceptions and questions about reality definitely resonate with many aspects of cyberpunk. It's indeed a good watch for fans of the genre. Thanks for bringing it up! If you've got more recommendations or need other suggestions, feel free to share.
