8. Attack Of The Giant Furby - The Mitchells Vs. The Machines

The Mitchells vs. the Machines is a mile-a-minute blast of colourful energy, and one which reaches an apex of insane hilarity when the titular family makes it to a Colorado mall to shut down the rogue AI known as PAL (Olivia Colman).

PAL responds by activating all electronic appliances with PAL chips to attack the family, including a fleet of Furbys and, most horrifyingly, a gigantic queen Furby.

The Furby chases after the Mitchells as it promises to avenge its fallen children and insists that pain only makes it stronger.

Thankfully in the end the family manages to use the Furby's destructive beam against it and destroy the nearby PAL router, disabling all the attacking devices in the process.

Even so, who ever expected Furbys of all things to feature in a contemporary movie about technology?
