The Antipodean

... I kind of feel like Williams had been sorely underrated as an actor, partially because he'd picked some godawful movies the last few years to be in - but what is your favourite of his career?

Either Insomnia or One Hour Photo.

Alan Smithee

Was just telling someone that Toys is incredibly underrated- it was marketed as a family film but people didn't expect its sheer weirdness.

My Other Self

Insomnia

Favorite: The Fisher King

Underrated :

E Unit

I'll break it down by decade, I can't pick just one:

80's - Moscow On the Hudson, The World According to Garp, Good Morning Vietnam, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

90's - Dead Again, Shakes the Clown, The Fisher King, Hook, Toys, Good Will Hunting

2000's - Insomnia, The Final Cut, House of D, One Hour Photo, Death to Smoochy

2010's - Sad, but I don't know of any in the past few years

And the very many great TV roles and cameos he did. I thought he had a good 10-15 years left of good roles.

What's funny is that I think he's more well known for his dramatic work than his comedic work. Like many of our best comedians, he was a brilliant dramatic actor. I'd probably go with Awakenings, where he holds his own against Robert De Niro.

Insomnia might be the best movie he's been in, and he was great in Fisher King, but I went with The Birdcage because I think that's his best, most original and natural comedic performance.

Nine votes and no duplicates yet -- sign of a diverse career.

Aladdin.

Never could stand Robin Williams in a dramatic role. He always rubbed me the wrong way.

"Good Will Hunting" is the only movie on the list that I liked (not that I've seen all of them). Not one of my favorite actors.

One hour photo

It's The Birdcage for me.

Not only is he hilarious throughout, the sadness when his son asks him to pretend to be something he's not breaks my heart.

GWH, but Aladdin as a close second. Could watch either over and over again. Rest in peace, Robin. You'll be missed.

Dr. DVD

Went with Mrs. Doubtfire, but Aladdin is a close second.

Apparently there's no Blu-Ray of Aladdin, and Dead Poet's Society is just a bare bones release. I would have thought they would have done something for it's 25th anniversary.

Loved Aladdin, and he was fantastic in One Hour Photo, but I had to choose Mrs. Doubtfire.

E Unit

There's a blu ray of Aladdin in the UK, and it's region free.

Mrs. Doubtfire

I don't know if I have a favourite performance/film. I can tell you that the FIRST film of his I remember seeing was Good Morning Vietnam. My parents had it on VHS (likely copied from TV), and watched it over and over. The only thing I remember about it is the running joke that the car (or jeep?) was always running; he never turned it off.

RIP.

It's hard to pick just one. For comedies I'd probably say Mrs. Doubtfire. Honestly though I like his dramatic works better. Films such as Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting, Insomnia, and One Hour Photo are great. Also Jack sort of seems underrated if you ask me.

fumanstan

Voted Aladdin since it's one of my favorite Disney movies, but Good Will Hunting is right up there.

Nesbit

Birdcage is in my top 20 favorite films ever. It's a near perfect comedy. 2nd would be good will hunting. Drop off to third favorite would be a big one.

Michael Corvin

Dead Poet's Society followed by Aladdin.

astrochimp

Good Will Hunting for me.

I love the quirkiness of Toys.
