This thread is all about showing some appreciation and love to one of my favorite actors of all time, Robin Williams.



He has made so many films that were a part of my childhood (and adulthood)-
it is hard to count. From playing the Genie in Aladdin, to Mrs. Doubtfire,
to Peter Pan in Hook, to his laugh out loud stand-up specials, he is amazing.
His acting range mixed with his amazing humor is just incredible.

Wanted to post a thread to see what everyone's favorite Robin Williams
movie is. Oh yeah and I'm excited about his new standup special coming
to HBO early next month! His last one from 2002 was AMAZING.

Oh gawd there are so many good ones.

I want to go see the new comedy with Robin and John Travolta, looks freaking funny as hell from the adverts.

I absolutely love Robin Williams, I feel he really doesn't get the praises he deserves.... Patch Adams, What Dreams May Come, Mrs Doubtfire and Hook Are some of my all time favourites.

I suppose "Mrs. Doubtfire" would be my favorite movie, but my favorite thing he's done is "Mork and Mindy." I just loved that show.

Same here! I love the look on his face when he finds out he has kids.

I absolutely love Good Will Hunting

My fave movie by all the per4mers in it,,,,esp the fabulous Ms.Mercedes Ruehl

i'm old. i like Moscow on the Hudson, The World According to Garp, Good Morning Vietnam, etc.

he is great, but i saw this movie recently called world's greatest dad and what the hell kind of movie is that? scary. i didn't wanna see him with JUST blue socks on. if you're into old man sausage watch it, if not...stay away.

He was quite good as a loony in One Hour Photo.

that and Dead Poets Society are my favorite movies by him

One Hour Photo is one of his best, and most overlooked, roles. The Final Cut is along those lines too.

Good Morning, Vietnam
Patch Adams
Mrs. Doubtfire
Aladdin
Robots

.....to name a few.

I would probably say. Good morning Vietnam. Because his character is so real. The emotion is genuine. The scene

when some troops on their way to the front line have a few moments to laugh and have a some convo. When many of them

may or may not return. Is touching. and it captures the reality of the time.

Great Thread!!

My favorites:

1) Mrs. Doubtfire
2) One Hour Photo
3) Bicentennial Man
4) Patch Adams
5) Insomnia
6) Jumanji
7) Jack

Fisher King and One Hour Photo

What was that one with Robert De Niro as the catatonic guy, Robin Williams was the doctor in it, right?

Based on the book by that guy, which had this on the cover




I should just look it up on IMDB

Flubber

i used to wish it was real

Wow, much love for Robin here...

Personally, I can't stand the guy....his sense of humor doesn't hit my funnybone.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of his sense of humor either,,,,way TOO animated.

But the man can absorb a role like a sponge, thats for damn sure.
