118. RoboCop (1987)

February 22, 2014

The original RoboCop is a classic. It is the kind of movie that couldn't be made today. There is plenty of blood and guts and gore to go around, on top of a pretty cool story. When a good cop (Peter Weller) gets murdered, a team of scientists that work for a corporation called Omnicorp (OCP) save what parts they can from his body and build a part-human, part-machine supercop. As RoboCop gets more accustomed to his new body, he starts to have memories of his former life with his wife and son, and the criminals who murdered him. He uses his new powers to go after the murderers and finds corruption within OCP, which he then has to try to take care of. Full of memorable quotes and interesting characters, RoboCop is the ultimate guy's movie, and despite some dated special effects it still holds up pretty well today in my opinion.
