The 50 best movie robots.

Westworld's scene where they take Yul Brynner's head apart gave me nightmares as a kid. ED209 and Maria are the undisputed king and queen of robotdom. Beauty and the beast, truly.
-
Again, we neglect Cyborg Police Officer. Tsk tsk.
-
Two words... Cherry. 2000.
-
Nexus-6 disqualified?!?! Uch. What about IG-88? (ROTJ) starwars.wikia.com/wiki/IG-88 What about Keanu Reeves?!?
-
"Trousers? We got trousers..."
-
Dude, the T1000 is WAY cooler than the Droideka. At least they put ED-209 in the Top 5 where he belongs.
-
I like the Johnnycab robot from TOTAL RECALL.
-
I don't care if The Daleks were disqualified or not. That creepy voice haunts my nightmares.
-
It's as if someone raided my porn collection.
-
If I had a nickel for every time people went for robot porn...
-
What about Pimp Bot from The Ice Pirates?
-
I dunno... any list that contains both the words "best" and "Twiki" is a bit iffy from the get-go. And what about Tom Servo?
-
And what about Tom Servo? Right on
-
What, no Tin Man? And none of Dr. Goldfoot's Bikini Machines? And the Replicants disqualified? *hmmph*
-
Booty booty.
-
Nothing from Bladerunner? LAME!
-
Meat-y robots got disqualified. Replicants are meaty. Then again... Ash and the other Alien robots looked very meaty and milky to me. I think they bribed the judges.

I dunno... any list that contains both the words "best" and "Twiki" is a bit iffy from the get-go. Just for that, I'm never going to come meet Mr. Whiskers.
-
Since when is the HAL9000 a robot? HAL is an AI. Similarly for that stupid talking car. If they're including AIs, where's Skynet?
-
Serious omissions: John Malkovich in Making Mr. Right. Tom Servo without question. And definitely at least one from Bladerunner.
-
What, this one?
