Shall We Play A Game: What Are the Most Evil Computers In Movies?

AMC's sci-fi blog has a list of it's favorite evil computers from movies. It's a decent line-up, but I think it is missing a few, including:

- The War Operations Planned Response (WOPR): This is the sarcophagus-like behemoth from War Games - the one that almost ends the world, until it averts apocalypse by beating itself in tic-tac-toe.

- Sark: The evil computer from Tron, the ultimate computer movie. 'Nuff said.

- The Robocop Killing Machine: I'm not talking about Robocop himself, I'm talking about that fully-computerized double-barreled At-At looking thing that mows down the dude during its roll-out ceremony. That thing is badass - and scary.

What others am I missing?

funny you should post this (0.00 / 0)
We JUST watched this last week. I was inspired to rent it after seeing the one with alley sheedy and the robot. Kind of on an old hacker type film trip.
