Thursday Movie Picks: Androids/Cyborgs

So...it's been a few weeks since I last posted on my blog...at all. And it seems I've chosen to return to a theme this week that is really not in my wheelhouse. I'm not a big "robot" movie guy. My favorite science fiction being of the non-robot kind...

...But there are few I do love, the few with personalities that I fully enjoy.

So, it's Thursday, my return to Wandering through the Shelves' Thursday Movie Picks. This week, of course, Androids/Cyborgs.

Thursday Movie Picks: Science Fiction Movies (No Space or Aliens)

Well, I have two science fiction films in my All-Time Top Five. Sadly, my favorite of those two is ineligible here, what with the "No Space or Aliens" rule. That movie is Steven Spielberg's 1977 sci-fi masterpiece Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It's okay. He made another one that works here.

This is good though because I have some good ones lined up, thought-provoking, futuristic tales of warning about what Man might be capable of, or what we one day might go through. No doubt, my favorite sort of sci-fi comes from the Utopia/Dystopia dynamic we love so much as movie fans. I also dig robots. I love time travel. There's a bit of all that here today. No space. No aliens.
