Her, 2013
Oh no, don’t be an AI assistant with a sensual voice, you’re so sexy and I’m in love with you! Her, starring Joaquin Phoenix and the disembodied voice of Scarlett Johansson, is a lovely genre mashup of sci-fi and romance. Though in the current cultural climate there is a slightly less adorable sheen on the story of a lonely man falling in love with his AI assistant, Her still has the power to make you laugh, cry, and worry about the inevitable takeover of the world by robot overlords. — Alyssa Mercante
