This is a truly great film. I saw it twice when it first came out and I've seen it many times since.
To: KevinDavis
Good movie. Leslie Nielson should make a funny version in the genre of Naked Gun or Airplane!.........

[about oxygen] Robby: "I rarely use it myself, sir. It promotes rust."
[to Altaira] Commander John J. Adams: "I'm in command of 18 competitively selected super-perfect physical specimens with an average age of 24.6 who have been locked up in hyperspace for 378 days. It would have served you right if he... they... oh go on, get out of here before I have you run out of the area under guard - and then I'll put more guards on the guards."
[Instructing Robby the robot on making a new dress] Altaira Morbius: "But it must be different - absolutely nothing must show - below, above or through."
Robby: "Radiation-proof?"
Altaira Morbius: "No, just eye-proof."
Cookie: "Another one of them new worlds. No beer, no women, no pool parlors, nothin'. Nothin' to do but throw rocks at tin cans, and we gotta bring our own tin cans."
Robby: "Sorry miss, I was giving myself an oil-job."

Did the Forbidden Planet robot show up on the Lost In Space TV series, or did Robby just look derivative?

Was there ever a MST version of this movie? I think that would be funny.
