Movies that feel likeBicentennial Man (1999)

Richard Martin buys a gift, a new NDR-114 robot. The product is named Andrew by the youngest of the family's children. "Bicentennial Man" follows the life and times of Andrew, a robot purchased as a household appliance programmed to perform menial tasks. As Andrew begins to experience emotions and creative thought, the Martin family soon discovers they don't have an ordinary robot.

If you loved Bicentennial Man, the closest films we have are The Fountain (2006), The Vow (2012) and Forgotten Love (2023). All three share Bicentennial Man's contemplative and romantic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Two Lovers (2008).
