The best android and cyborg movies ever made: humanoid robots on film.
This list is for the best androids in
movies, human looking robots. Sometimes the androids are integral
part of the movies, but often it's meant to save on the cost of
special effect. In some cases, a real robot would be more
appropriate. The main reason the new BSG failed was it's silly
attempt to use hot female actors as “cyborgs” instead of spending
a dime of making cool robots. We're focusing here on the real deal:
actual android movies that really hum.(We have big robots and
non-human robots on a separate list – see below). First, here are
the 20 best Android movies ever made:
1 – Blade Runner (1982)
replicants and androids in the best sci-fi movie ever filmed.
2 – Terminator (1984) An
android is sent back in time to kill an enemy commander's mother
before he is born.
3 – Star Trek: First Contact
(2002) with Data and the Borg, First Contact is a natural (and good)
android movie.
4 – Alien (1979) In Ridley
Scott's sci-fi masterpiece, Ash is a great android crew member.
5 – I, Robot (2004) based on
the Isaac Asimov novel.
6 – Terminator 2: T2 Judgment Day
(1991) One android is sent back in time to kill another android

are used as bombs to attack Earth in the future.
9 – Screamers (1995) tiny
machine creatures attack and take over human bodies.
10 – Aliens (1986) Bishop
makes another great android for the deep space crew.
11 – Nemesis (1992) is the
main characters a man or a machine?
12 – Battlestar Galactica (1978)
makes it one both our lists: the android overlords here, and the
shiniest Cylon warriors on the robot list.
13 – Battestar Galactica: Blood
and Chrome (2012) Although the new BSG series really fails, this
one spinoff movie was saved by Luke Pasqualino and a few cool
cyborgs.

19 – Universal Soldier (1999)
20 – Android Apocalypse (2006)
Worst android movies: Cyborg
(1989) and Bicentennial Man (1999) yawner movie with Robin
Williams.
Star Wars had a stack of robots. Few
were really android or big, but they did have good character appeal.
For giant robots (non-humanoid), check
out the Big Robots list.
Now keep your eyes peeled for any
shifty androids posing as humans.
