Robots, A.I, Mechanical Men...

[nobody]

I'm looking for some smart, entertaining movies containing artificially intelligent robots. Got any suggestions?

[Gerry]

Well, here's a list of a few:

Live action
I, ROBOT (2004)
METROPOLIS (1927)
BLADE RUNNER
A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
ANDROID (1982)
THE BLACK HOLE
THE COLOSSUS OF NEW YORK
plus, there are tons of 50s robots like GORT and company

Anime:
METROPOLIS (2001)
GHOST IN THE SHELL
ANIMATRIX
tons more here too

i would recomnend u "2001 space odyssey" yes can be kind of smart, but terribly boring, slow aand sopprific, the right film  if u have Insomnia.
anyway, it would be great if somebody would make "i, robot" an amazing book of isaak asimov, this one could be smart and  entertainig.

Forbidden Planet
The Invisible Boy

 Although Robby isn't the star of either, but he does play a pretty big part.

I too was hopping someone would shoot some of isaac asimov stories... being a fan i was REALLY HAPPY when i found they were, and "I,robot" would be a great choice... and i say would be because i've seen the trailer and it is awfull... it makes me wanna cry - Asimov's concept is totally mistaken and it's a shoot them up film.
Really a pitty because, if they could make an incredible movie like A.I. out of a single Brian Aldiss story, imagine what could be done with one of Asimov's .

Yes, they really have managed to p**s all over Asimov's idea... they effectively managed to change it from his vision to Planet of the Apes - with robots...

A.P.E.X.
Omega Doom
Screamers
American Cyborg: Steel Warrior
Class of 1999
Prototype X29A ( a little weak)
Cherry 2000

Heartbeeps
Creation of the Humanoids
Millenium
The Quester Tapes (TV movie)

There's at least one robot in Crash & Burn.

The Alien series [Bishop is by far one of the coolest robots, sorry, artificial persons, that I have seen on screen]

Terminator is a pretty obvious one as well.

Bicentennial Man was actually enjoyable for me.

Isn't the Stepford Wives about robots? or am I getting my lines really crossed on that one?

I always wanted to make a robot film; there's just something in the subject matter that seems so adaptable and easy to, well, exploit.  Especially with all the technophobic movies like I, Robot, terminator and the Matrix [by technophobic I mean the theme of being scared of the consequences of technology]  Just messing with the genre would be fun.

Oh, and Westworld (and Futureworld)

[Max Gardner]

Robocop (the original) and Blade Runner come to mind.

[Fearless Freep]

I guess I can throw Circuitry Man and it's sequel[url] in there.


(yeah, I've seen all these that I've mentioned)
