I don't know why I think this movie is so great, but I have always loved it (and the sequel Futureworld, though it isn't available on DVD yet). Maybe I just like the premise - a resort where you get to act out whatever you like along with hundreds of lifelike robots in one of three worlds: Medieval World, Roman World, or Westworld. It's fun to watch the scenes in the control room where all these technicians are drinking coffee and watching the whole resort on monitors, controlling the robots to fight or seduce. I think it's hilarious that Yul Brenner gets top billing when he has about two silly cowboy lines and just walks around methodically killing people. Unfortunately, the ending is incredibly lame - after Yul is killed, it just stops - no explanation at all.
