Looking this over I'm not surprised to see it weighted heavy to sci fi. If you haven't seen some of these I recommend checking them out.

Speaking of robots, The Invisible Boy is a light, kid's adventure film with a few very funny lines, and co-stars Forbidden Planet's Robbie.
Planet of Storms / Planeta Bur is a rather nifty Soviet film in the "Go to Venus and see weird stuff[/I] genre, with a very nice robot prop.
Is Planeta Bur, Voyage to a Prehistoric Planet? If it is then I have seen it and yes it has a very cool robot in it as well.
I have the same Forbidden Planet set. The little Robbie is in my toy collection.
Planeta Bur was bought by Corman and the effects scenes were cut into at least two films; I think Voyage to a Prehistoric Planet was one of them. It's very much a different movie, however. Still, the robot made it through intact.
On the subject of credible robots, Chopping Mall has some very believable-looking props. Unfortunately, they're in the film Chopping Mall, which is a terrible movie. And they animated in some laser blasts for no apparent reason.
While I thought Lost in Space was so so, I loved Big Blue. Was very sad he was destroyed.
Robot is On-Line!
ALSO "GOG" AND "THE MYSTERIANS!"
Mysterians! A Toho movie without Godzilla, amazing. Did you know there is a sorta sequel? Battle in Outer Space reuses some of the props and models and kinda fits as a continuation seeing as some of the mystrons did get away at the end.
