I love this movie. Its the best Sci Fi movie better and yeah I am going there I think its better than Blade Runner, Alien movies, and the best Star Trek movies.
I can talk about all kinds of things with this movie like the idea of Police State, the acting and action, etc. but I think what makes me find it compelling the most is Robocop himself as a character.
This is a man that was just an ordinary good cop who suddenly was killed in the most horrifingly brutal way possible and it was his first day on the job as a cop.
He would have been dead, but fate had other plans. I think this is also an interesting topic on Death.
That moment when you are completely dead and than suddenly you wake up and you are not you anymore, your identity, your humanity, your individuality and control of yourself, gone. Out of all the scenes in this movie my absolute favorite is Robocop being made:
Like this is the first thing he opens his eyes to after being shot in the head and these people doing whatever they are doing to him. It makes you question whether this is a fate worse than death or not?
This movie to me is the best example of Organic and Robotic Humanity theme that Sci Fi is known for in things like Matrix, Blade Runner, and I Robot. Because Murphy was an Organic Human Being transformed completely into a robotic synthetic and he is struggling to regain his humanity. Murphy is perhaps one of the most tragic character I have ever seen in fiction.
Its that theme is why I love Robocop 1 the most as my favorite Sci Fi movie ever.

on't forget to add John Glover's lethal response.
