This Spielberg/Kubrick collaboration is centered around an artificial boy and the experiment to get him to love and be loved in a future where 'Mechs' are, otherwise, little more than toys.

Critics were split on this one. It's a rather interesting film but, and this is a hard thing to put your finger on, the whole thing is probably a little too far out there for most. The idea that there will someday be robots that look and feel like humans is troublesome. The feelings of loss and displacement in the picture are real, but the character is not; that is the essence of the film. And it just might be the case, ironically enough, that we care less about the Mech boy in this movie because he is artificial. If that's the case, then A.I. could be the best picture of all time.

AI proves one more thing: Blade Runner was way, way ahead of it's time.

Directed by Steven Spielberg.
