And the Robot Murray Goes To...

Our summer movie festival last week focused on best movie robots. As usual, we got far too many votes from listeners to get to on the air. But, we've compiled the votes and here are the results (some are the movie titles, some are the names of the robot):

Robbie from Forbidden Planet
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Spaceballs (Dot Matrix)
Iron Giant
Bicentennial Man
Transformers
Rover from The Prisoner
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Silent Running
Klaatu
Blade Runner
Data From Star Trek
Lost in Space
The HItchiker's Guide to the Galaxy
R2D2
Saturn 3
Robocop
Futurama

One robot I didn't hear mentioned was Joan Cusack as Alsatia Zevo as Robin Williams sister from the movie Toys. It was a great surprise and the fact she was a robot (and that she could be repaired) made all the sense in the world at the end.
