Cool, Huey, Dewey, and Louie made the list. Silent Running was a cool movie for an enviromentalist flick. I just like the idea of Bruce Dern blowing himself up in orbit.

Hey! I demand a recount!

14: The Gunslinger (Westworld) - Michael Crichton's inspiration for Westworld was the original animatronic Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. Plausibility:6 Coolness:7 Dangerousness: 9 Comedy Value:3

[DogByte6RER]

38: Maria (Metropolis) - Arguably the most influential, and certainly one of the most expensive sci films ever: Some sources put the total cost at four times the original budget. The final cost of the film was in the region of 7 million marks (aprroximately $200 million today) Plausibility:0 Coolness:10 Dangerousness: 8 Comedy Value:0

16: Robbie the Robot (Forbidden Planet inter alia) - Uniquely, for a movie robot, Robbie had a long and varied career beyond Forbidden Planet, appearing in many popular US TV series such as "The Thin Man", "Lost in Space", "The Twilight Zone", "The Addams Family", "The Love Boat", "Columbo", "Mork and Mindy", and, most recently, "Clueless". Plausibility:5 Coolness:6 Dangerousness:6 Comedy Value:7

They missed a really good robot with either list...the huge robot in the animated feature film "The Iron Giant".

And speaking of Tin Men....how come this guy didn't make the list?

How could the leave out the Orgasmatron Robots of Flesh Gordon... Screen Shot... Flesh Gordon

I reviewed the list. Did I miss something? The original “robot” from Lost in Space was not on the list. Why those bubble headed boobies...

38: Maria (Metropolis)

Arguably the most influential, and certainly one of the most expensive sci-fi films ever: Some sources put the total cost at four times the original budget. The final cost of the film was in the region of 7 million marks (aprroximately $200 million today)

Little known (BS) fact, the film bankrupted the German economy leading Germany into dramatic economic reforms that brought about WWII.

Actually though, the film was written by Fritz Lang's wife. As the Nazis rose to power, Mr. Lang was offered a job producing propaganda. His wife stayed behind with the Nazis. He left Germany and his wife.

When people say that Leni Riefenstahl had no choice, it is false. She did have a choice and she chose to produce pro-Nazi propaganda.

Robby the Robot was the best. The classic robot.

Jude Law and Haley Joel Ozment were the worst (I hated that movie).

Maria in Metropolis was pretty hot.

Knight Rider's Kitt at number 3? Who made up this list? Germans?
