Who's your favourite movie robot?

[Tau Zero]

Take a look at my icon. That's Astroboy, my favorite robot! I watched Astroboy as a kid in the 60s and always loved him. Astroboy was on TV around the same time as Tobor the 8th Man, Speed Racer, and Gigantor. Remember them? Gigantor also was a robot, but i never was that impressed.

By the way, Tobor (robot spelled backwards) was also a robot.

I loved the robot is Saturn 3 too - not too many people have heard of that one, but I thought it was a brilliant film.

The Terminator has to be up there too for me. Also, the robot in Hardware - a low budget British indie sci-fi with a great cameo from Lemmy (Motor Head) as a water taxi driver.

 

[The DeadMan]

Robbie - Forbidden Planet

I like Teddy too cause his voice totally doesn't match his look, he seem really deep for a toy.

oh god yes! lol Teddy was so well done.
I also absolutely loved H.J Osmet's and Jude law's performances in AI even though they aren't typical movie robots
AI was a brilliant movie

And I'm gonna go really old school and say that I'm also a fan of the dynamic duo that is R2D2 AND C3P0

Oh and K9!!!....who, might I add, is making a reappearance in the new Dr Who..about time

The robots were great. The movie was decent. I nothing to do with the book. Change the title!

Yes, it should have been called "Matrix: Genesis"

Unfortunately, Joel, these aren't "movie" robots.... Do you have a favorite movie robot as well? (Though I must admit I've always had a fondness for this story, wonky though it is...)

 

[BookStop]

William Hurt - ooh did I say that outloud?

 

[sanityassassin]

Bender from Futurama is cool but again not a movie robot so would have to be marvin from HH Alan Rickmans deadpan voice is just sooo marvin

Waaaaa! I missed it! And I was so waiting for that too.

My favorite would probably be either Maria from Metropolis, but I've always loved Armitage (from the Armitage III anime), the Lost in Space robot, and more recently, Ria from Natural City has moved up my list.

Did anybody see that Val Kilmer movie about going to Mars? Not a classic film. Ahem. There was a "warrior dog" robot in that one that was kind of neat. Had some cool features, though oddly susceptible to fire…

You mean Red Planet?

THAT'S the one. I was going to guess National Lampoon's Martian Vacation, but I was sure that wasn't right.

But that's the movie I was talking about. There was a robo-warrior-hound named "Sybil," or "Lucy," or something. Maybe it was "Donna."
