Perhaps controversial as I never see it mentioned, though I love Robin Williams in What Dreams May Come. He plays wonderfully a slowly breaking man finding hope in and within darkness. It’s a movie of many messages and meanings, with a lot of symbolism.
It’s far from his most popular movies and yet I cannot help but love it all the same.
Birdcage
Awesome movie!
Always and forever Genie from Aladdin.
Should I call you ‘Al’? … or ‘Din’? … or how bout just ‘Laddy’!
definitely one of my favourite Williams characters
Being a cartoon freed him from any physical constraints and allowed him to go wild.
One Hour Photo.
It’s not my favorite per se, but it was so unexpected given all the other roles we know him for.
Perfect exchange, no notes.
Bicentennial Man. What a great film
It is my favorite movie.
I relate too much, to a robot trying to understand and become a human.Mork and Mindy is magnum opus.
What Dreams May Come
There’s a scene where he’s angry that his wife has gone. He screams into his mentor’s face, “suicides go to hell?” it’s a devastating scene. he’s the only person who could deliver that line.
his mentor is wrong, by the way. he and his wife find each other again. it’s got a beautiful ending.
Good Will Hunting comes to mind as one that hasn’t already been mentioned.
As one of his non comedic roles, I’d say he kills it and kinda steals the show.
PETAH PAN
BANGARANG!
The Fisher King.
He fucking kills it in this as Parry. Severely underrated film. Jeff Bridges also kills it in this film. Actually, almost everyone in the film kills it.
Probably the most accessible Gilliam film.
I don’t really remember anything about this movie because it’s been more than thirty years since i saw it. But i remember i liked it.
I saw that in the cinema when it came out, blew me away. I kinda don’t want to watch it again in case it lets me down.
Ooof, good movie.
The Genie, obviously.
As if it even needs to be said.
No one has said “Dead Poets Society “
!!???!!
He was so amazing and empathetic; just outstanding. Made me WANT for a teacher like him
Probably Good Morning Vietnam.
I think that best channelled his cocaine energy.
Robin and Steve Martin once did ‘Waiting For Godot’ at Lincoln Center.
Apparently there’s no video avaialble
OK
Those who were there say they saw it. Those who weren’t there but know about it say they didn’t see it. Those who weren’t there and didn’t know about it don’t mention it. If you stop to think about it, you’ll find yourself considering the concept.
This whole post was about favorite roles, not rare stage performances
You’re correct. I liked how the original comment was relatively interesting but ultimately irrelevant to the topic. Your dry reply amused me, so I decided to make a contribution that’s wholly asinine on every level but wordy enough to look like a legitimate commentary. I hope you’ve enjoyed my attempt to lower the bar.
Thank you for your service
Mork from Ork. Nanoo nanoo. It’s what I always think of when I think of him. That and What Dreams May Come, for sure.
Mrs. Doubtfire or it’s not your fault
I know
