Just for what it's worth, the name of the computer in Alien was "Mother,"
though this was a nice, English pronunciation of a system name which was
something like MuThr.  The computer in Rollerball was called Zero and used
bubble memory (real bubbles-like in water).  As for Wargames, who can forget
the incredible WOPR (who cares what it stands for, it sounds just marvelous).

To add a few more computers to your list:

6.  All of the computers in the Twilight Zone episodes (I can remember at least
    two).
7.  The computers which comprised Merlin in H.B. Piper's novels.
8.  The robot/computer systems in Space:1999 (They're an interesting lot, if 
    not very realistic.)
