Search for an old Sci-fi Movie

[noeh]

Hello all,<br /><br />I have been searching for one old film for a long time now. I have read hundreds of movie reviews and still nothing. Maybe someone here can help me. The film was surely made long before 1987 (when I saw him for the first and the last time). I was very young then and didn't watch the whole film but I remember some parts. It was about a man stranded on a lifesupporting but lone planet. I remember that after some time he started to build robots (possibly from the wreck of his ship). I know that he build a few. They were helping him build a house, work on a farm or so. I remember one part where he ran over one of the small cute robots with something and the robot "died". I remeber crying at that part. THere are only a few films that can make me cry so I would really love to know what was that film's name.<br /><br />If you have any idea please let me know.<br /><br />Thank you.

No, not 80's, earlier than that. The movie was 1972's Silent Running, starring Bruce Dern (Laura Dern's father). <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

Wow thank you guys, that was fast. Well I have read the review for Silent Running, but I couldn't match it together. Only when I saw the poster for that movie I realized it is what I was looking for. Thank you very much.
