Re: Your favorite Robin Williams movie?

not a huge fan (way too over the top for me) so I'll say A.I.

One Hour Photo, Fisher King, Insomnia or Dead Poet's Society. Too many to choose from honestly.

Garp is one of my favorite comedies, just brilliant all the way through.

I do think his movie career was more miss than hit.

Re: Your favorite Robin Williams movie?

Good Will Hunting is my favorite but the older and more mature I get the more I realize just how brilliant Dead Poets Society really is. The "Oh Captain, my Captain" scene is giggle worthy as a young teenager but it puts a lump in my throat as a 34 year old man.

Mrs. Doubtfire.

Looks like Mrs. Doubtfire 2 has been cancelled due to his death.

A script was written and Chris Columbus was going to direct it.

Big Aladdin lover here, but Good Morning Vietnam (And it's soundtrack) might be the winner in the long run.

I see RV didn't make the list. (My favorites are Garp and Bicentennial Man.)

Favorites are probably Insomnia and Aladdin. Favorite Williams-centric film is probably Garp.

Re: Your favorite Robin Williams movie?

I could not be more stunned by the loss of Robin Williams, mensch, great talent, acting partner, genuine soul.
+1 Jumanji

Re: Your favorite Robin Williams movie?

"Awakenings" not listed in the poll?

Moscow On the Hudson always cracks me up


I see Dead Poets Society is the #1 best selling Blu-ray at Amazon and Good Morning Vietnam #3, Good Will Hunting #4 and some others in the top 20 and most of his movies are temporarily out of stock.

Definitely "Awakenings." Granted, De Niro was brilliant in this film, but I thought Robin's performance was just as strong and absolutely moving. Love this film.

Garp. Did not care for most of his films, but this one was great. And what a supporting cast to boot!

I know it had bad reviews but Popeye is my personal favorite. Besides Star Wars I probably watched this movie more than any other as a kid.
