Landmark tech noir movies that must be seen

This genre brings together the shiny world of science fiction with the dark themes of film noir and combines them into something thrilling and often dystopian. Some of these movies investigate themes like artificial intelligence, such as The Matrix, AI Artificial Intelligence, The Creator, and Minority Report. Other themes include the possibility of humanoid robots, notable in movies such as Ex Machina, Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, and The Terminator. Some tech noirs focus on the role humans play in dark dystopian societies, for example, Brazil, Twelve Monkeys, Children of Men, and Videodrome.
