Top Fifteen: Robots

I love robots. I love robots so much, I have a tattoo of one disassembled on my right calf. To commemorate my affinity for robots, here's my latest Top Fifteen -- the Top Fifteen Robots in movies. From now on, though, all the Top Fifteen will be listed in descending order. You know, for the suspense of it all.

#15 Optimus Prime

Transformers: the Movie

Micheal Bay has nothing on the animated original.

#14 Johnny 5

Short Circuit, Short Circuit 2

One of my favorite movies as a child, and has surprisingly held up.

#13 Gerty

Moon

Like HAL 9000, only helpful.

#12 David

A.I.:Artificial Intelligence

Kubrick + Speilburg + Pinocchio = awesome!

#11 Andrew

Bicentennial Man

One of Robin William's least appreciated roles.

#10 T-800

the Terminator series

The future is now, and it wants you dead.

#9 Borg Queen

Star Trek: First Contact

I love what you've done with your hair.

#8 Ash

Alien

Ian Holm is definitely one of my all-time favorite actors.

#7 Data

Star Trek 7-10

Leave it to an android to help us understand what being human really is.

#6 Edward Scissorhands

Edward Scissorhands

Remember, Vincent Price's character was known as "the Inventor."

#5 Wall-E

Wall-E

Pixar's cautionary tale of our destroyed planet wouldn't have been as bittersweet without our lovable hero.

#4 R2D2

the Star Wars series

Luke Skywalker bought a walking trash can, and the rest was intergalactic history.

#3 Agent Smith

the Matrix series

I suppose the sentinels are technically the robots, but their Matrix persona made the series.

#2 Iron Giant

Iron Giant

Brad Bird's pre-Pixar pulp masterpiece.

#1 False Maria

Metropolis

The great silent science fiction epic has been copied many times, but never outdone.
