Anyone watching a Robin Williams movie this week?
I'm thinking about What Dreams May Come. Never saw it.

Great cinematography in that movie, but the story was a bit lame, I thought.
Good Morning Vietnam! Now that's a great movie.

His best two movies are "Insomnia" and "The World According to Garp."
"Patch Adams" has to be one of the worst movies ever made.

You thought those were better than Mrs. Doubtfire, Good Will Hunting and Dead Poet's Society?

I liked all of those movies, but for some reason "Insomnia" and "Garp" left me with some pretty powerful impressions. Especially, "Garp." I'm still haunted to this day by a couple of scenes from that movie.

I never heard of Garp. I'll put that on my to watch list.

Nobody mentioned "Hook." I can't say I liked Robin Williams as Peter Pan. I thought, "Awakenings," had some important truths in it.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

I liked a lot of his movies. Who could have played a better Popeye (or a better Olive Oyl than Shelley Duvall)?
I think if I had to choose one to rewatch it would be "The Fisher King".

Right on! Neither can I imagine better choices to be cast in those two roles!
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

My trio of Williams' movies were: Insomnia, Dead Poet's Society and The Best of Times (with Kurt Russell).
