I finally actually watched the original RoboCop last night, a movie almost exactly as old as I am. Its status as a classic was never in question. I thought the Jesus-allegory reading was a little strange, but then I noticed nearly every time Robo busts through a door, he's got the God rays shining on him through it.
Let it be known for the record, that for every movie that Everybody Has Seen, there is roughly a 95% chance that I have not actually seen it at all and only know what people are talking about through cultural osmosis.
