GREAT ROBOTS FROM FILM & TV
A loving look at the mechanical misfits from film and TV history

I've always loved robots.  From their earliest appearances in film to present day, they've always had a charm that's hard to resist.  Here's a collection of some of my favorites throughout time.  Some are just cool, and some are goofy as hell, but they're all great fun.  I'm particularly fond of Maria from the 1926 Fritz Lang classic Metropolis.  You can see how her styling was the basis for C3PO over 50 years later.  And you can't not like Robby The Robot who may have the distinction of being the only robot to get featured billing in two different movie projects.  And I know Ultraman may not be a "true" robot, but damn if that picture of him with a surfboard isn't too cool to pass up!
