Another vote for "Mrs. Doubtfire." Also loved him in "Mork and Mindy."

Another vote for "Good Morning Vietname" and "Patch Adams". The quoted poster summed it up well for me.

There isn't a role that Robin Williams played that I did not like. However the movie that I could watch repeatedly was "Death To Smoochie" The movie which I believe created an irony to this man's life is "What Dreams May "Come."

Perhaps now people will begin to engage in a national conversation about mental illness. Perhaps the mischaracterizations of those with mental disorders by the media and the movies will be dispelled

May he rest in peace.

His dramatic acting in "Good Will Hunting".

Loved the line in Mrs. Doubtfire, when his wife asked Doubtfire, about her husband and learn her husband was killed by drink.

Sally Field asked, :was he was an alcoholic?

No, he was run over by a Guinness Ale truck.

I am sad to see such a wonderful caring person leave us.

RIP - Robin

Dr. Oliver Sachs in Awakenings. Both he and Diniro were outstanding.

Birdcage ........... loved that movie and watch it every chance I get. He showed every emotion possible in that movie and I thought it was sheer brilliance.

I also liked to see him interviewed, especially when he would go "off" into one of his rants.

He must have been very difficult to live with - a real roller coaster ride!

Thanks for the reminder about Birdcage. I just about get hysterical just thinking of it.
