Re: What Is/Are Your Favorite Robin Williams Movie(s)

I thought he was a brilliant comedic actor. But, I love him the most in serious/dark movies. There was one called One Hour Photo and he was just amazing in it.
I still think about this movie. It was really disturbing to me but he was excellent in it.

He was also very frightening in Insomnia too, which I think came out around the same time as One Hour Photo. He played a very similar character.

1- Mrs. Doubtfire
2- Aladdin
3- Jack 
I also love Patch Adams, The Birdcage and Good Will Hunting. He was such a wonderful talent, I still can't believe he's dead. 
I'm adding 9 months to my list - I completely forgot about this movie but he was HILARIOUS in it!!! .
I just read an article about his friendship with Christopher Reeve - I never knew that they were best friends:
Reeve told Barbara Walters that the greatest gift Williams ever gave him was the gift of laughter.
The Superman star said a few days after his accident he was sitting in a hospital bed with his “dark thoughts” when a Russian doctor walked in.
“I was hanging upside down, and I looked and saw a blue scrub hat and yellow gown and heard this Russian accent. There was Robin Williams being some insane Russian doctor,” he said. “I knew then: if I could laugh, I could live.”
Williams was reprising the character he played in the film Nine Months.

Isn't that the sweetest story?!? Robin also took acting jobs that he may not otherwise have taken, but he did because he was paying for a huge portion of Christopher Reeves medical bills.

my all-time favorite robin williams quote is ... when he was asked what was he thinking when he took on the role in "toys" his answer was
"thank you for the paycheck"
he was always honest about working for a paycheck.
to the OP question.
i really and honestly do not have a favorite movie... but i'll add my favorite memory being MORK AND MINDY. my introduction to robin williams was life altering. i never knew someone could be THAT funny.

It really is so sweet. I've been reading about him all day and he had such a wonderful heart. He truly lived to make people happy.

I loved him in:
-House of D (amazing movie)
-Jumanji
-Aladdin
-Good Will Hunting
-Awakenings
-Dead Poets Society
-Mrs. Doubtfire
-What Dreams May Come
-Hook
also the movie where he was like a robot for a family... why am I blanking on this? What was the movie called?

Re: What Is/Are Your Favorite Robin Williams Movie(s)
I love so many of his movies.
The Birdcage
Good Will Hunting
Mrs. Doubtfire are the top three.
I can watch those movies over and over and be entertained.
He pops up in so many movies and when you hear his voice you just smile. I love him as the bat in Fern Gully, and he plays the Kiwi in this strange animated christmas special I grew up watching A Wish for Wings That Work.
He gave the world so much.
