Best Robot Movies: "Ghost in the Shell" (1995)

Forget the problematic live-action remake starring Scarlett Johansson, the only version of "Ghost in the Shell" you need to see is the original 1995 anime movie. The story follows Maj. Motoko Kusanagi, who is a cyborg federal agent in pursuit of a criminal known as the Puppet Master. The Puppet Master hacks into the brains of cyborgs and change their identities — which hits close to home for Motoko. As the case intensifies, the agent becomes increasingly preoccupied by questions about her own identity, and a burning desire to know what life would be like if she was fully human.
