Everyone loves lists and movies. I love mechanical life forms too. So I’ve rolled all three into one with a little engineering spin. This list is by no means comprehensive – it’s simply thirteen of my favourite androids, cyborgs and robots.
13. Blinky – BlinkyTM (2011)
BlinkyTM is a short film about a boy, Alex (Max Records), and his robot. Blinky doesn’t go on adventures, he’s just a toy meant to placate Alex while his parents fight. Blinky isn’t what most people would call an interesting character, but what he illustrates in this short film is enough to make feuding parents think twice about how they treat their kids. Alex ultimately resents his robot companion since he doesn’t solve the underlying unhappiness he feels as a result of his parents decaying relationship. Alex and his parents pay for their mistakes when a combination of robot abuse and a short circuit turn Blinky into… well… you’ll just have to watch the film.
12. Johnny Five – Short Circuit (1986)

Yeah, seriously. If she’s not on the list, it isn’t a list.

Forbidden Planet is one of my favorite Sci Fi movies.
Here's one for you.
Robert Kinoshita was the builder of Robby. He also built Tobor from Tobor The Great and B9 from Lost In Space

You’re right. I had never noticed that until you mentioned it. He did have an AI or two, but I don’t recall any true robots.

It is one of my favorites too.
When she was young, Ann Francis was about as hot as they get.

She has that same look in her eye as that crazy man who headed that space cult. I can’t think of their name but they thought there was a space ship hidden behind a comet. They all killed themselves.

I think that movie also started the trend that every eccentric or brilliant scientist was a widower with a hot daughter.
