Top 10 Best Robot Movies of All Time

From the endearing to the menacing, from the helpers of humanity to the bringers of apocalypse, robot movies encompass a diverse array of characters and themes, each providing a unique flavor to the genre.

Some films lead us to the edge of our seats with high-octane battles between metal giants, while others tug at our heartstrings, portraying the tender bonds between humans and their synthetic companions. They may whisk us away to dystopian futures where robots rule, or transport us to worlds where they are the beacons of hope against impending doom.

The Top Ten

  1. Wall-E

    I love this movie! It's one of the best animated movies of all time. Pixar is so awesome and creative. I love it.

    So beautiful, with some really funny scenes too! Will forever be one of my favorite movies.

    My father is forty-one, and this is among his favorite movies.

  2. Terminator 2: Judgment Day

    Better than any Terminator and robot films yet, Terminator 2 proves how a robot is well worth it for a film that makes viewers' hearts very happy for decades.

    A classic. Best storyline and special effects during a time when none of those existed.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger! Great actor! Perfect for the film!

  3. The Terminator

    This movie should be #1, but I voted for Terminator 2 because, you know, it was already up there and it is 95% as good as #1.

  4. The Iron Giant

    The animation is so smooth, beautiful, and expressive!

    I would love for drawn 2D animation to be in fashion for animated movies again.

  5. I, Robot

    Truly awesome movie with a great storyline and superb visual effects. Will Smith and Bridget Moynahan did a great job. They should make a sequel.

    I really love this film! Sonny is a great character. I agree that there should be a sequel.

    Sonny is a really nice person, Susan Calvin is smart, and Spooner is so funny!

  6. Transformers

    Why is this at the bottom? Why is the decent sequel at #2, but this great, fun-filled film down here? I mean, come on, even that crappy movie Robots beat it!

    Agree that this franchise should be among the best. Long live Transformers!

    There's more to them than meets the eye.

  7. A.I. - Artificial Intelligence

    This is the best robot movie. Come on, think about it.

    This is the best movie I've ever seen.

    It is a very sad movie. I loved it.

  8. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope

  9. Short Circuit

    This movie is so cute! I love the little robot voice!

    If you've seen it, you would say it's the best.

  10. Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines

    Best robot movie ever. Amazing Arnold.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Eyeborgs

  12. ?

    Earth to Echo

    13. The Contenders

  13. Real Steel

    The emotion in this movie is great. Worth being in a Top 10.

    Awesome. That's why I love Transformers too!

    Contains the best fights. A must-watch.

  14. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back

    How is this not number one? Empire is awesome.

  15. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

    I think it should be in first place because it's amazing, and the graphics and the battles between the Autobots and Decepticons are awesome.

    Such a hard decision between this and I, Robot.

  16. Forbidden Planet

    I can't believe my eyes. This one isn't on the list yet? We're talking about "all-time" movies. This is a classic. This fifties sci-fi has Robby the Robot in it, who was used afterward in other movies. He was even used in a '70s episode of "Columbo." Not to mention all the toys that were made and sold of this robot.

    A classic like that has to be in the top 3 for sure, if you ask me.

  17. Star Trek: Generations

  18. Blade Runner

    A truly great film. A more subtle robot movie than others on this list, which might be why it is ranking so low?

  19. 9

  20. Robots

    This is one of the greatest films I have ever seen.

  21. Ex Machina

    This movie is so amazing and well-structured! I saw it in theaters the other day and fell in love with it!

  22. Big Hero 6

    I really enjoyed this movie. It should be ranked higher.

  23. Transformers: Dark of the Moon

    This was actually a decent Transformers movie.

  24. Enthiran (Robot)

  25. The Matrix

  26. Pacific Rim

    This is my favorite movie. Yes, I'm not a huge fan of classics, with the exception of a few like Alien or Jurassic Park, but this movie is just awesome. What is cooler than giant robots fighting giant monsters?

    I honestly thought it was better than Real Steel. In Real Steel, they made robots for entertainment, but in Pacific Rim, they were actually helpful by stopping aliens.

    Watched ten times. Never felt bored with this movie. Love it all the way. Recommended for everyone who loves robot movies.

  27. Short Circuit 2
