Robin Williams

i grew up watching mork and mendy.
I havent seen all of his films, but like every one i did see.

between him and Tom Hanks, its hard for me to choose who i like better.
 
What Dreams May Come

Um I missed that one,I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Awakening is a great movie,forgot about that one,have it in my collection and For me The Fisher King is probably my favorite Robin Williams drama/comedy movie,Jeff Bridges is great in it. :smoke:
 
I remember seeing The Final Cut in theaters. I agree, very cool scifi. I t really stuck with me, as did One Hour Photo. The World According to Garp is tough to beat, though. I thought What Dreams May Come was way too saccharine and precious, taking a cool concept and making it super vanilla.

BTW, my cat's name is Shazbot. :)

I have to say, I think everyone is great in that film, top to bottom. Not a bad performance to be seen. Mercedes Ruehl even won an Oscar for her role; Michael Jeter probably should have, if there was a category for bizarre over-the-top supporting actor.
 
Williams is very funny, to the point of insanity, on talk shows. Stream of consciousness run wild. I reckon it is difficult to find the proper film vehicle to showcase that. Good Morning Vietnam was probably the best example. Luckilly, he is pretty good at the dramatic as well.

Saw him in person hanging with Billy Crystal. Those guys are short. Like watching two of the Munchkins.
 
Another good film was Moscow on the Hudson. Awakenings and Good Will Hunting are my favorites.
 
Williams is a Bipolar boy so one shouldn't be surprised by the fact that the comedy is frenetic and spastic. The problem with ya'll is that once you've seen "it" you need a different flavor. We live in a society where "boredom" is the social disease of choice.

We get bored so easily, seen that, done that. What's the next big thing?

As mentioned, in the proper venue he can still be quite funny. The problem is that he's probably "bored" himself, just like "us"!

We're living in "boring" times. If you have kids you know what I mean. They can't sit still for more than a few minutes unless some high resolution video game is spurring them on to blow up a few dozen more bystanders. lol
