I rewatced this movie last night and this is the only movie in existence that makes me cry as a grown man.

And the fact that Robin Williams has passed away makes it even sadder

I know some people think its average but I love this movie.
Its just so sweet and charming. A bit corny too but in a good way.

Hello Little Miss.

 

[Rudelord]

I remember watching this during a class in high school.

Fuck you for making me remember this scene. I didn't want to feel that.

 

[User 479360]

I remember going to see this in theatres. I don't remember a lot from the movie, but did like it. I need to watch it again.

 

[Cardon]

I cry at the end of AI. Them robot feels.

 

[Manu]

I never got the backlash for this movie. I loved it.

 

[kurahador]

This movie is alot better than Spielberg's A.I.

 

[kunonabi]

I love the movie but it depresses the hell out of me. What Dreams May Come had the same effect. Both of them trigger my panic attacks so I haven't watched them in years. I really should try to watch them again.

 

[Quick]

I've seen it in full once or twice as a kid, but I only really understood the movie as I grew up. I should watch this movie again.

First time I seen this was at school and I was seconds away from tearing up. I bottled that shit in like an expert.

 

[Lothar]

I watched this movie for Philosophy class. I would never have heard about it otherwise. Great movie. The only movie I've seen about death that is actually uplifting. At least as uplifting as it can be.

Critics hated it for some reason.

 

[DrForester]

I never got the backlash for this movie. I loved it.

Same. I watched it a few weeks ago and I still found it quite enjoyable.

 

[NeOak]

Hello Little Miss.

 

[AlteredBeast]

If I had to guess, I would be willing to bet that this would be one of GAF's favorite films.

 

[Brian Griffin]

FUCK! I had forgot about this movie. Gonna watch it tonight.

Spoiler

and totally cry

 

[FullMetaltech]

Loved this movie. That and What Dreams May Come always tear me up.

 

[riotous]

I thought the first half of the film was enjoyable; it drags a lot after that.

 

[Pagusas]

Great seeing others liked the movie too and very surprising considering its critically panned and often in the list of "worst Williams films"

 

[Glass Rebel]

I have never seen the movie but I really like the short story it's based on. Might watch it one of these days.

 

[The Flash]

Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List make me cry

Never seen the film, but watching this scene out of context is pretty hilarious.

**mournful family gathered around Sam Neil in old-man makeup**
"The robot's here!"
**in walks clunky, corny robot in human clothes for no apparent reason, proceeds to give emotional speech while whirring and gear-grinding sound effects undercut everything**

 

[User 479360]

This movie is alot better than Spielberg's A.I.

That's not saying a lot

But Bicentennial Man is underrated.

 

[Enduin]

Great movie that deserved better. It gets held back by it's cheesy makeup and overall mediocre, even by that time's standards, effects. But the story and Williams performance were great and really touching.

When re-watching it recently I did notice how bad the scene where they have to insert the actress into the scene where she plays two parts looks.

 

[Elginer]

Amazing movie that makes me cry like a damn baby.

 

[AlteredBeast]

Saddest part of the movie is when Andrew gets voting rights and then proceeds to vote against Gay marriage. He finally became human after all. Gets me every time. 😰😭😭

 

[Thaedolus]

Yeah, I never gave this movie a chance because of the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5YMEwX2-88

...maybe someday

I've only seen this movie once and it was over a decade ago, but did that really happen?

 

[Ran rp]

you cried at this corny mess?

 

[ExVicis]

Fuck Robots man.

 

[WillyFive]

That was such a great movie. The story fascinated me.

 

[Gabriel_Logan]

The short book by Asimov was good, didn't think too highly of the movie.

 

[Enduin]

I'm a huge sucker for movies about immortality and coping with the death of others and all that what it means to be human stuff. I loved The Man From Earth, The Fountain, the flashback sequences of Highlander and Bicentennial man because of it. Plus a bunch of others.

 

[ExVicis]

I love the movie but it depresses the hell out of me. What Dreams May Come had the same effect. Both of them trigger my panic attacks so I haven't watched them in years. I really should try to watch them again.

I remember both very clearly but I can';t think of what would cause a panic attack, what specifically lead to a panic attack?

 

[TheWorst]

I really disliked What Dreams May Come, but I like Robin Williams. Would I enjoy this?

 

[TheVampire]

Fuck yes

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

This movie got me into movies.

 

[celebi23]

I've got this on DVD somewhere. Really should watch it again.

I just have a crippling fear of death and these two movies really aggravate it.

 

[Secret Fawful]

I recently watched this for the first time, and I was shocked that I enjoyed it. I was terrified that my taste went bad and that I should talk about liking it to no one. Well, my enjoyment of it went down after the robot got human skin and became human Robin Williams, but yeah. It was interesting, especially in terms of exploring a human-robot relationship.

 

[Dice]

Try another Robin Williams film called Awakenings.

 

[ss_lemonade]

Sandler's Click did that for me, for some reason.

 

[MMarston]

Sandler's Click did that for me, for some reason.

Hilariously out of place too.

They managed to put a decent existential crisis segment late in a bad movie that had jokes about Michael Jackson molesting himself

 

[jb1234]

I don't know. I remember watching it and thinking that the movie was trying really, really hard to make me cry. I don't like being emotionally manipulated.

(I really liked James Horner's score, though.)

 

[watershed]

It's a damn good movie.

 

[jett]

It's not great, but I always enjoyed catching this movie on cable.

 

[ExVicis]

I just have a crippling fear of death and these two movies really aggravate it.

Oh yeah, then that's understandable. Especially for What Dreams May Come I can really see that.

That's where it went downhill for me.

Also fuck robots. They're not fooling me. This is part of their agenda to put our guard down so we can be weak when they decide to overthrow us.

 

[Currygan]

I appreciated how it somewhat tries to explore the human nature, but found it irritatingly sacchariney, unbearably so. Columbus being Columbus

 

[HardRojo]

One of my favorite movies.

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

And the fact that Robin Williams has passed away makes it even sadder

The fact thay both Robin Williams and James Horner passed away makes this movie almost unwatchable for me. That musical score totally elevates the movie.
