I hope you feel better Pam! However, the awesome thing about Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ is you can take your discussion online! I haven't seen any of these movies; what about the Matrix and Johnny Mnemonic specifically remind you of Neuromancer?
I'm not surprised about the Neuromancer similarities since Johnny Mnemonic is based off of a short story by William Gibson. It looks like Molly, from the Sprawl trilogy, is introduced in this short story.
It also looks like Neuromancer might have inspired The Matrix as well. At least when I do a quick Google search. It's interesting the impact its had on the genre.
