Just rewatched "Short Circuit 1" , 2, they're GREAT. Just realized "Stealth" was a total rip of the movie ideas.

Any other good robo movie recs??

try some anime? Robotech movies are really good. I'm not sure you want to watch the entire series though.

"I, Robot" wasn't bad, better than I expected.
WALL-E is coming out this year and it looks cute, very reminiscent of Johnny 5.
Transformers was good for action and visuals but otherwise it was a bit average.

AI was pretty good and hasn't been mentioned. Very weird movie and a bit long, but enjoyable overall.

Doctor Who Dalek and Cybermen episodes.

ultra minor spoiler:

TRuly one of the greats of sci-fi. I'll add Forbidden Planet to that list, introducing- Robby the Robot.

Another classic would be Fritz Lang's Metropolis (original or modernised version). Given it was made in the 1920s I think it is still a great movie

Forget classic, that one is "landmark of film" status. :beer:

The live action TV series version of Johnny Socko / Giant Robo is apparently free to watch at Hulu.com
