Robbie the Robot's first appearance, (many years before the awful pop culture dreck of "Lost in Space,") was his best, although he really wasn't the star of the show.
"Forbidden Planet" and its plot, (best stolen bit of Shakespeare in Hollywood movies) was the star.
Man, and his ultimately ungovernable id, was the planet and civilization destroying monster.
Can't recommend too strongly, though you'll have to get over some hilariously dated male chavaunism, (all male star-ship crew, of course) and Ann Francis oozing the 60's version of ah, hmmm,... can't really put that in words...
Lastly, Earl Holliman has a very sweet, somewhat over-the top familiar down home boy part.
Robbie did show us the vast potential of "humane" robots though, in this film.
Made us want to live in the future and have our own planet, and faithful well-programmed robot. - 2 years ago

Its like being "black" in America; any percent robot= ROBOT,...you get stuck with the "R' word. Now I don't know how much "artificial" stuff or parts are required to qualify as a robot to begin with. (Or are all peg leg pirates black,....er,...robots?) But I guess I am just playing the ROBOT "card".
