Celluloid Diaries: Movies about intelligent machines

Movies about intelligent machines

Here's a guest post that originally appeared at Bibliophilia Please and For The Love Of Film And Novels. The post was part of the blog tour for GPS WITH BENEFITS, a short film script in which a womanizer purchases a GPS device with a mind of 'her' own. It got me thinking of other movies about intelligent machines. Here are some of my favorites...


A scientist creates an organic super computer which becomes obsessed with human beings, and in particular the creator's wife. Demon Seed is one of Dean Koontz' best novels to date. Check out the excellent movie adaptation from 1977 starring Julie Christie.



Security androids turn evil and kill the employees from a shopping mall. Lots of eighties movie fun!



Early Stephen King novel about the relationship between a nerdish boy and his evil car. John Carpenter directed the movie adaptation in 1983.



Fun horror movie from the 90s in which a serial killer's soul transforms into electrical energy. The killer then uses the electrical grid and computer networks to continue his killing spree.



A tire discovers his telepathic powers. He sets his sights on a mysterious woman.



Every machine in the world comes alive and becomes homicidal. Written by Stephen King.



In Stephen King's short story The Mangler, a demon possesses a laundry folding machine. Tobe Hooper directed the movie adaptation in 1995. Two sequels followed.



The seventies movie The Car tells the story of a sleek and stylish car that goes on a rampage due to it being possessed!


What are your favorite movies about intelligent machines?

  12. I love the short story that Maximum Overdrive is based off, and I enjoy the movie. I have certain expectation for the remake that I don’t think they’d do, but I’d give it a fair chance none the less.
