Definitely worth a look if you haven't already seen it.

Three of the movies on the list are in my personal top 5. Maybe I'm a pessimist at heart.; 1:53 AM

The first two RoboCops work amazingly well as social satire (especially of corporate life) in addition to having some great action scenes. Blade Runner is probably THE modern dystopian flick....

The alien robot entities in AI were beautifully realized. The film was quite poignant, IMHO.; 6:04 AM
