Best Robin Williams Movies
I would have to agree that this is the #1 Robin Williams movie. Anybody that can successfully play both a man and a woman in the same movie and make you laugh and cry is a great actor. He played such a great part in this movie, and his emotions ran the gamut. I love many of Robin Williams' movies, but this one is probably the best.
Definitely the quintessential Robin Williams movie, at least for my generation. Good Will Hunting was good but not a comedy. Aladdin was only the voice of Robin. The number one movie has to be a comedy and has to be Mrs. Doubtfire.
One of my most favorite Disney movies! It seems like this was the first time a well-known actor did a cartoon voice for a major animated film, and he set the bar way high! I don't know if anyone has even come close (except maybe Steve Carell in Despicable Me). Such comic and voice brilliance.
I just watched this movie again today after seeing it twice in the last two days, and I won't ever get tired of seeing it. Another Robin masterpiece, second only, in my opinion, to Mrs. Doubtfire.
I loved Robin Williams, and he was great as the Genie. I'm so sad he passed away. They did a special presentation of Aladdin yesterday on Disney Channel, and my theory was that they were "secretly" dedicating it to him. I started to tear up when it said this at the end: "This is dedicated to Robin Williams, for making us laugh." It's so sad that an actor so happy and funny could end up so depressed.
This isn't just a good movie. It's a good movie that stays good. For instance, I loved The Departed, but you can't watch that 50 times. Heck, even twice is a bit much. But I could watch this movie probably every day and still enjoy it. Part of that enjoyment is definitely Robin being cast off-type and delivering a heartfelt performance.
Loved this movie. It really showed what a wonderful actor he was! We knew he was funny and wonderful, but this showed another side that is also heart-touching. Great man, funny man, and wonderful actor!
I had seen bits and parts of DPS on TV but then saw it in its entirety for the first time in 2000 thanks to my high school creative writing/poetry teacher. This inspired me to become a writer, seize every opportunity in life, and quench my thirst for poetry.
The shy, confidence-lacking character played by Ethan Hawke was someone I could relate to.
"What will your verse be?"
That's the kind of movie that can inspire most teenagers when they watch this film. Very great character portrayed by the great Robin Williams! I just saw this movie Sunday night again, and it was a great experience!
This movie is amazing! It has everything: comedy, love, adventure.
This movie is full of fun.
R.I.P. (Return if possible) to Mr. Robin Williams.
I love this movie. We watched it in the basement.
If you ask me, I think Robin Williams does his best in these kinds of roles rather than the kiddy stuff. I know most people love him for his Genie performance, and yes, that is a great one, but come on, guys, his raunchy adult humor is where it's at.
Brilliant, thoughtful, funny. Excellent performance by Robin Williams. R.I.P., kind man!
It was a combination of comedy and seriousness. Robin at his best in both.
I will miss you, Robin. You are a very good actor, and I love your movies, especially Hook!
This is an amazing movie. As a child, I loved it, and as an adult, I now truly appreciate it for its message.
This is my first Robin Williams movie, and I have loved it since I was a kid.
Robin, you will be missed. RIP.
One of my favorite films when I was growing up, and it still is. Robin did such a good job in this film. I couldn't imagine anyone portraying his character better!
I loved it! This movie may have turned into a trilogy, but without Robin Williams, none of this would have been possible to make.
It was an original character for the great Robin Williams in this great movie. Very good for people of all ages!
He's in Robots? I did not know that.
Wow! I cannot believe this isn't higher! His acting performance in this was breathtaking! I loved him, hated him, was disturbed by him, and I felt such great empathy for his character. Excellent film.
The movie itself isn't the greatest, still good but not amazing. However, Robin's acting was incredible and truly astounding. The fact that Aladdin is number 1 is cringeworthy.
Unbelievable acting job by Williams. He was one of only a few actors who could portray any character seamlessly.
Well, all I can say is that's all for the Night at the Museum franchise. Don't expect a fourth one to come soon because medical science and technology cannot bring back Mork. Basically, the third and final part of the trilogy ends with a happy ending.
I didn't have the chance to see this movie, but I heard Robin Williams was great as usual!
You're kidding me. Really? The Fisher King is easily in the top 3!
Loved this movie. It was one of the funniest movies by Robin Williams.
Flubber was my favorite childhood movie.
I was watching this movie when I heard of Mr. Williams' passing. Watching it again last night made me cry at the loss of such a great talent. All of a sudden, watching his movies and interviews really shows the brilliant and sad Robin. May he now be at peace in his Father's arms, no more pain.
Brilliant film! Very underrated. Brilliant performance from the late great Robin Williams, opposite a great performance from Nathan Lane. This should be a lot higher on the list! (14th when I posted this) I can't believe Robots is in the top 10!
Awakenings is a very touching movie that deserves to be number 2 behind Aladdin. This was also the first movie that made me shed a tear, which adds to its sadness and filmwriting.
This should be in the top 5 along with Mrs. Doubtfire, Aladdin, Good Will Hunting, and Dead Poets Society. A very underrated film.
A touching drama with great performances from both Williams and DeNiro.
I still cry every time I see this movie. It is just perfect. I think I will go home tonight and watch it. RIP Robin.
A fantastic film with Robin Williams and Bill Cosby. What more can you say?
I think this film is underrated... So beautiful!
What a great movie with the character of Patch Adams by Robin Williams! It is an underrated movie because probably many people didn't have the chance to see it. It's a realistic movie with the humor of a great actor!
Patch Adams is one of my favorites because I felt it was something that could really happen and should happen!
I love this movie and the message it delivered. Patch Adams is a one-of-a-kind doctor. He really went into the heart to help people, in sickness and need, with laughter, which is the best medicine.
This movie will obviously seem weird to some based on what happens to Kyle to spark the main plot, but how everything else plays out is so perfect and genuine. Plus, the movie's soundtrack will make you cry more than once. Robin Williams performed so well in this movie that you could always tell what was happening in his head and sympathize with him because it was just so real.
Williams' performance in this movie is second only to his in "Dead Poets Society."
A really imaginative and original idea. The film delves into our psyche about life after death. I love how Williams acted in this, and loved the look, the feel of it, and the idea of the afterlife.
A brilliant film, beautifully scripted and acted. Having lost my sister-in-law followed by my brother's suicide, this film opens the floodgates.
Great movie! I would strongly recommend it to anyone that enjoys cerebral/psyche films. It will take you on a journey to life after death.
A criminally underrated dark comedy touching upon the corruption and exploitation involved in the corporate side of children's programming.
A really enjoyable and creative film!
I hope God forgives Robin. He did a lot of good things in his life. R.I.P.
I yam what I yam. Popeye is my fave show.
Have any of you actually seen this movie? It is excellent, and his performance is wonderful.
His first and best dramatic role.
