Re: Best Robot Movie Ever Made?

Oh come on guys! Have you forgotten ALL the classics?

Forbidden Planet - the premiere of Robby The Robot, perhaps the greatest and most prolific movie robot character of all time.

Metropolis - Fritz Lang's classic. Possibly the most influential science fiction and robotics movie ever made.

Runaway - Gene Simmons as a better Doctor Evil than Mike Meyer. The little acid-spitting spider-bots are like Hexbugs on steroids.

Eve Of Destruction - When this robot gets ticked off, you don't want to be in the neighborhood.

THX-1138 - George Lucas' first full film, adapted from one of his early student film projects. Think of "Logan's Run" done with robots.

Silent Running - Huey, Dewey, and Louie give Bruce Dern a run for his money. Oh yeah, and they kicked his behind at poker.

Westworld - Yul Brenner with a fake face and a six-gun. What could be better?

And probably the best of them all - The Day The Earth Stood Still. I mean, who can forget Gort?
