I love the robot in Metropolis.

How about Heartbeeps? Not really, but it has robots!

I was actually thinking of this film when I started my rambling post earlier in the thread. But in typical Todd fashion, I rambled on and lost my train of though.

I thought Short Circuit was an awesome film back in the day. What ever became of John Guenberg? (sp?) He was in pretty much every 80's film and then just vanished only to be seen in the occasional low-budget TV movie.

I loved the robots in Short Circuit and thought the design of them was very realistic for the time. I actually believed they were using at least one fully functional robot during production (via remote, not actual AI). They were not. Like I said - the design was totally believable to me. Unlike the Terminator robot. Major coolness - but totally not achievable with current technology (as in you can't build one that can actually fully articulate and move about on its own power via remote or whatever).





Ok, here's another one I don't think was mentioned. What about Batteries Not Included? It had that 80's touchy sap factor to it, but that was pretty acceptable (and expected) in films at the time. Anyway, I thought those little robot frisbees were pretty cool. The visual FX in that film still hold fairly well today if you ask me. Maybe the lighting isn't always dead-on compared to today's full CG animated FX, but they sure did a great job for the time IMO. The sound design of the robot saucers was excellent as well. All around cool mini-flying saucers from a mini-galaxy far away.

Exactly, and while I am at it, why not "Bicentennial Man" with Robin Williams!

Oh, great.

I was keeping Wall-E to myself only because it technically hadn't been released yet...but someone else mentioned it

//saw it in a special screening while they were still sorta finishing it//

OH MY GOSH.

CUTEST MOVIE EVER =Dorder abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Maybe Forbidden Planet or The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Come to think of it, both Alien and Aliens feature androids/synthetics/artificial people in prominent roles and I love those movies.

Yes Todd, you may very well be the only sci-fi enthusiast who doesn't like Blade Runner, which had more android/gynoid main characters than it did human, I think.

Because the first couple of episodes of the original Battlestar Galactica were released in the theater as a feature film, it qualifies for this list because Cylons are therefore movie robots. That goes for Buck Rogers in the 25th Century as well; can't forget the ambuquads - e.g. Twiki - and the computer council - e.g. Dr. Theopolis.

I've read that Star Wars can be seen as being told from the points of view of R2-D2 and C-3PO. Even if that isn't so - there are so many droids in that series that you can't help but include it on any list of robot movies.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture could be considered a robot movie; wasn't V'Ger just a massive robot? There was also the robotic probe V'Ger created in the image of lieutenant Ilia whom V'Ger had killed/absorbed. Then there's any Star Trek: The Next Generation movie because of lieutenant commander Data.

Of course The Terminator and Terminator 2 are right up there with the best of them.

Lastly, there's Runaway with Tom Selleck, Kirstie Alley, and Gene Simmons as the evil scientist who creates those wicked assassin spider robots, the high-speed wheeled smart-bomb bots, and that gun with the heat-seeking bullets that can be set for particular people and avoid hitting everything and everyone else.where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

What about Colossus - The Forbin Project?

That's was why I was asking to see a response.


None have mentioned the Police robots from THX 1138.

The scene where Elastigirl is flying the jet and is being fired at the plane.

Elastigirl: This is IG-99...

Iron Giant, 1999

The first film The Incredibles' director directed was The Iron Giant.

And yes, I must correct myself on what I said earlier. Transformers is my favorite robot movie.

I got my information from IMDB.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

If I have to pick an all-time favorite robot... it has to be Bender Bending Rodríguez of Futurama.
