Robocop. One of the most intelligent I have ever seen.

I was re-watching Robocop again the other day and it made me want to express my feelings for this film. Not only is it an insanely entertaining action film, typical for Verhoeven, but also and again typical, Verhoeven's film is a deeply satirical product of the Regan era which delves into political corruption and the dangers of privatized industries where law and order are concerned. Who'd have thought it, one of the most wry and intelligent films I have ever seen also has a melting man being exploded by a car. Win win.
