My favorite is Matrix. Also love Blade runner. Actually I love almost every cyberpunk movie.
Would add Terminators (Skynet), Ghost In The Shell, Tron here too.

#16I really like The One I Love (2014), the same guy stars in my favourite time travel movie Safety Not Guaranteed (2012).

#17Matrix, except for the premise about machines wanting to mine energy from humans. They could have come up with a more believable explanation.

#19Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey still sets a high bar. The scene right before intermission where HAL is reading the astronauts lips in the pod is still quite terrifying. And early 1980s War Games holds up as a terrific thriller. Depiction of fictional AI pioneer Professor Falken is very realist in its treatment.
2001: A Space Odyssey is probably my favorite film ever. Our IT teacher made us watch it as part of the computer science classes (awesome teacher).
Very recently Seth Godin talked about it in his podcast, pointing out the poor reviews it got from the press. The argument was "don't worry about criticism, people even criticized that amazing movie, how can you escape criticism"

#20HAL from 2001 seems to be the most grounded in reality, as you could actually sense some how some of its advanced capabilities might be implemented even today, not to mention Marvin Minsky and IBM were advisors to Kubrick. While I really liked TARS and CASE from interstellar for their "settings" feature and for being non anthropomorphic in form.
