I'm looking for music similar to the Unreal soundtrack, the Bladerunner soundtrack, and the Only God Forgives soundtrack... ya know, 80s-esque synth stuff. Pandora just keeps spitting out Enya however. So... any suggestions?
Vangelis did the Blade Runner soundtrack.

I love his short lived 70s band 'Aphrodite's Child'.

Well, Vangelis, as tinyE said. Also, maybe Jean-Michel Jarre?
Maybe this will help. ;)

I don't know about the others, but similar to Blade Runner- I'd suggest soundtracks by Tangerine Dream

Sorcerer
The Thief
The Keep
Legend

I love their soundtracks, and all the movies are well worth watching too. Even Legend, though it's really all about the visual and music, the story is about as simplistic as possible. There are two alternate versions, with another soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith. Some people prefer his version, but as much as I like his work, I like the Tangerine Dream OST more.

Search "synthwave" and "synthpop" "80s" on Bandcamp. Lots of stuff that's similar to those.
Chaser

Crusader

Deus Ex

System Shock 2
Check out the NewRetroWave channel on YouTube:

Unreal and Blade Runner? We have similar tastes :)

I've found some good stuff in this thread:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/80s_synth_electropop_music_thread

like Dance with the Dead - Dressed To Kill
Miami Vice - Crockett's theme
Night Runner - The Sentinels

and one more I just randomly remembered: Legend - Unicorn Theme

Film soundtracks in general is a good place to look. There are tons of gems hidden among them. Often in the epilogue and credits : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF9CQo1lOkc
scene.org obviously ; )

It is a combination of epicness and motivation with a catchy tune that people of all generations will find highly charming.
Try scores for Drive,It Follows,Lost River,Trent Reznor's scores for David Fincher's movies(The Social Network,The Girl With Dragon Tattoo,Gone Girl),Upstream Color,Tron Legacy,
