The Hidden comes to mind. It'd be my favorite that wasn't included on the list.

Its just fictional medical stuff. He wasn't a cyborg rebuilt with giant nanos who shot microwave buster missiles or anything.

He was just... yellow.

I'm not sure what criteria they are using to determine Film Noir in SF terms, but some possibilities include:
1984
Metropolis
No Blade of Grass
The War Game
Stalker
TVWP: "Janeway says archly, "Sometimes it's the female of the species that initiates mating." Is the female of the species trying to initiate mating now? Janeway accepts Paris's apology and tells him she's putting him in for a commendation. The salamander sex was that good."

It was consider quite good at the time iirc. It's supposed to be a very faithful adaption of the comics. So... depend what you think of the comics,

I need to see Dark City. I've been saying that for over a decade.

EDIT: Fuck it, we're doing it. Amazon here I come.

Damn, I forgot about Dark City. That movie rocked. I had to remind myself it came out before the Matrix did.
