It's no fun when lovers play mind games, but there's no shortage of ways to celebrate one's love of old video games, not to mention other tech products carrying brands that once flamed ...

Gloomy genius Stanley Kubrick handed off the project to genial film savant Steven Spielberg because he was dissatisfied with the special effects in the '90s, but by the time Spielberg cranked this out in 2001, the state of the art had progressed mightily.
It's a futuristic fairy-tale detective story/domestic drama featuring one life lesson: When a droid can love, he can also die of a broken heart ... only to be frozen in a glacier and revived years later after the AIs have taken over for the now-extinct humans. Yeah, there's a lot going on. But it's hard to argue with any film that typecasts Jude Law as an android male prostitute.
