I'll second Fight Club.
Terminator 2.
Aliens (yeah, it's 1986 but it's awesomeness transcends time)
I have watched terminator 2 and fight club .
If you haven't already seen Aliens, I'd give it a shot too. In terms of aesthetic and plot, I'd say it's pretty solid 1980s/1990s sci-fi action. It's outside the timber period you specify, but it's a good time.
Aliens is one of my favourite movies. I've never seen such a well executed genre pivot: Alien goes down in history as an incredible horror movie, but Aliens is a completely different tone, much more actiony. It's great.
Is it self containing ?
Yes. It's a sequel to Alien, but it stands alone.
Part of the movie is the heroine trying to convince others that the events in Alien are real, so it might be better if you haven't seen it, since you'll get to enjoy the mystery for more of the movie.
