Bicentennial Man (1999)

Isaac Asimov tearjerker in which Robin Williams is a household robot, who by some mistake, is given the capacity for human emotions.

As things develop, the very human-like robot asks for acceptance as a human being, and is refused. Some viewers see powerful parallels here with transsexuals, needing acceptance in their gender.
