Title: Favorite Movie Robots


Logan5 - February 18, 2006 08:38 PM (GMT)
Thought it might be an interesting topic to see who are some of your favorite movie/TV robots.

At first, I could only think of a few for me:

C-3PO
R2D2
Box
Robby The Robot
and the 1927 Metroplis robot - Maria (Futura)

but then realized they are literally hundreds more to choose from:

Maximillion (The Black Hole)
Twiki (Buck Rogers)
V.I.N.C.E.N.T and B.O.B (The Black Hole)
GORT (Day the Earth Stood Still)

etc.. etc.. etc...

So, who are your favorites and who am I forgetting?

My all-time personal favorite (not including Box - for obvious reasons) is the robot from the 1927 silent film "Metropolis". She was beautiful, sexy and deadly!!! A real femme-fatale - in metal skin!

I had forgotten about the A.I. Teddy Bear. Good one...

... and although R.E.M. really classifies himself as an android, I guess we can include him in our lists. :thumbsup: It's always such a fine line......

Forgot the little girls robot doll with the sharp eeth in Barbarella! It sure made Jane Fonda's costume more interesting.
