The two original Terminator movies (other Terminator movies? I know not of what you speak!) are good sources. Also, aside from the obvious Sarah and Cameron, "Catherine Weaver" the non-Skynet liquid Terminator working for her own ends - it is implied to save the Terminators from Skynet and free them - has some great human/robot identity visual moments. (She breaks cover to turn herself into a shield - a LITERAL shield shaped shield - in a surprisingly tough fight scene for what sounds defensive and, er, other stuff)

Oh! Sarah Connor Chronicles also has a series of great women-othering shots (well, it's not meant to other the audience from her, but to show that the being whose point of view the footage is from is othering her) as we see a deep cover Terminator's unknowing human wife reacting to him in a normal everyday way through cold green nightvision targeting (and also, him being activated and suddenly acting different and her realizing The Awful Truth in the same style).
