It has been 10 years since he passed! A tragic loss as he seemed to be a genuinely warm loving human being and supremely talented actor.
Growing up Aladdin, Popeye and Mrs Doubtfire were favourites and as I got older I appreciated his more serious works.
What's your favourite Williams films? |

There was one where he lived in the snow where he worked in a camera shop. A serious film and he played that well. Proper under the radar for him.
Alladin. 🧞♂️ |

I recently saw Mrs Doubtfire in London on stage. Was so well done and helped remember an absolute legend
But loved Good Morning Vietnam
Hottest thing is in my shorts. A little crotch pot
Amazing line although I have made it a bit shorter |

I liked him but was never a massive fan so I didn't go to see movies just because he was in them so I haven't seen a lot of those already mentioned.
I agree about him appearing to be a great human being as he insisted on hiring homeless people as extras in every movie and had it written in as part of his contract. |

Fisher King, I think it was his best role.
Admittedly One Hour Photo was also a great acting job.
But for the roles I think he was born to play were in the films, Good Will Hunting and Mrs Doubtfire. I don’t think anyone else could or would do a better job. |

'How hot? I told you - *damn*. Were you born on the sun? It's *damn* hot.' |

The scenes between him and Matt Damon in the office in GWH are possibly up there with some of the best in cinema- before you even consider one was a relative newbie and the other was a goofball comedian |

The story I love is during a break in filming, Williams took Damon to the Boston courthouse to meet Spielberg, who was filming Amistrad. That meet led to Damon getting the lead in Saving Private Ryan. |

The talking about his wife’s farts, made up and unscripted. Matt Damon is laughing and so is the cameraman as it was the first time they’d heard it. |

The dead poets society is probably my favourite of his films closely followed by good morning Vietnam
As for popeye, when I was younger I visited the set built in Marta. Quite incredible they built a set like that, that functioned after the film. |

Apparently he made The Dead Poets Society a success. The origional script was bland and boring, nothing really spectacular. It was because of his input and performance that it was so well.
I still remember Mork and Mindy, especially the episode where Mork met 'Robin Williams'.
He was a fantastic actor, spectacular performer and a great human being. |

"Birdcage
Bicentennial man
Toys
Dead poet society
The night listener"
I've just watched The Night Listener having not heard of it before. It's a good one, thanks. Have you seen Boulevard? It's pretty much his past film, came out after he'd died. Worth seeing if you haven't already. |

"Mork and Mindy
That’s where I first saw him as a kid. Na nu na nu.
Although i seem to remember he got that gig as a spin off from a one off appearance in Happy Days?"
He was a regular cameo in the final season I think - Mork would come to the Cunningham's door and Williams would do his stuff. Got so popular that they gave him his own show. |
