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.
