I noticed the one I originaly thought was the single most important one of all, "HAL" from "2001: A Space Odyssey" is not on the list and I suspect it is because HAL was a Computer and Not a Robot or an Android!
Funny how I always think of HAL as one though.
Food for thought I guess!

MemberOvomorphJun-30-2012 11:56 AMThere's also an HAL-like artificially inteligent robot called 'Bomb 20' from the 1974 movie Dark Star.
It's a shame because those not-androids are the most interesting. Just look at HAL...

MemberOvomorphJun-30-2012 12:19 PMYul Brenner was great playing that robot. But it really was a continuation of the same character he had played in the magnificent 7. Both characters wear black, and don't talk much.

MemberOvomorphJun-30-2012 12:38 PMHey @Spartacus Yul Brenner did a great job playing the robot I admit. But the performance Eli turned out in The Good the Bad and the Ugly surpasses that. Eli made the movie. He showed the widest range of emotions in his performance. Clint played the cool laid back cowboy. Van Clif played the quiet sinister bad guy. But Eli showed many sides to his character. He was abrasive, funny, sarcastic, mean, stupid and interesting. One of the deepest scenes in whole movie. Which to me explains why Turco is who he is, is when he brings Clint to his brothers monastery. His broter lashes out at him scolding him on leaving the family, also that there father had passed away. Eli responds by telling him that he became a criminal because he had two options. Either become a criminal or a monk. Each brother choose a different path in life. Then the monk smacks Eli, and Eli responds with a massive punch to the face. He then helps is brother up, and then leaves. Outside Clint is waiting for him on the stage coach and they both leave the monastery. As they ride off Clint lights a cigar up and passes it to Eli after asking him about his brother. In the process telling Clint that his brother was happy to see him. Clint knows its a lie, and passes the cigar to Eli who then smiles. That scene right there made the whole movie for me. I love Ridley, but Sergio Leone was a better director. I know it's two different genres. But Leone was just too nice.

FREEZE!

MemberOvomorphJun-30-2012 2:52 PMHard to argue about Eli's performance but I put Yul's right up there with it man...in any case your right about him and I love him too. shambhala and David 1 funny stuff you guys, and Svanya glad you finally saw the thread and am interested in which of them you have seen and which you wanna?

MemberOvomorphJun-30-2012 3:14 PMsame thing for Peter Weller, His Robocop is NOT an android the way the ED 209 was, because it contained biological elements of the characters Human Body and organs. I was stunned at first that it wasn't on the list but Ed-209 is so I realised why right away.

MemberOvomorphJun-30-2012 9:22 PMHere's a question... is the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz considered a "Robot" or an Android or what?
Clearly he is made of metal... and he spends the whole film trying to get a heart!

Hadley's Hope
MemberOvomorphJun-30-2012 10:09 PMNo. He's made of metal, in the same way that the scarecrow is made of straw, but he's basically animated by same magic, that allows the Scarecrow and Lion to stand upright and talk, and the not by technology. So he's not a robot.
And of course, the whole thing is a dream in a young Kansas girls head, not Philip K Dick's imagination.
