Robin Williams is my favorite actor and comedian of all time. He was such a beautiful, kind, sweet, caring, wonderful person. He has a lot of great movies. His stand up specials are so hilarious. He did so much for so many people. He made the world a better place during his time on this planet.

Any other Robin Williams fans out there?

I am and even though I have never watched all of his movies, his best performances (and this is just my opinion) will always be in (no particular order):

Good Will Hunting

One Hour Photo

Aladdin

What Dreams May Come

The Birdcage

Insomnia

Mrs. Doubtfire

The Fisher King

I was a big Robin Williams fan. Some of his movies had a profound effect on me.

I used to like him pretty much.

He was best in "Good Morning Vietnam."

People used to say that I look like him. I've had people ask me for autographs thinking I was him. I dunno why!

Did you sign any?

I liked him best in Dead Poets Society and Good Will Hunting. The Birdcage is pretty good, too. Funny! I loved Hook when I was a kid and Aladdin. Oh, and What Dreams May Come was a beautiful movie.

Have I mentioned that I was a Robin Williams fan? LOL

Nope...never signed any.

That's a really bad lie to me---to claim I am someone other than myself.

I wouldn't say I'm a fanatic about him----but he was cool.

It's tragic that he felt like he needed to end his life.

It would’ve just been in fun. I wasn’t suggesting you should attempt to take his identity or anything.

I have seen all those movies except for Insomnia and One Hour Photo. Robin was a very versatile actor. He was wonderful in every role he took on.

Many of his movies had a profound effect on me too. His characters were the most memorable characters in his movies.

That was one of my mom's favorite Robin Williams movies. Her other favorite is "Moscow on the Hudson".

I liked him but not as much as Peter Griffen. I don't wish everyone was Robin Williams :arrow:

I liked that episode, but the end was sad though.

My dad told me that he had killed himself, and my heart just sank.

But on the other hand, now we know how much suffering he was going through, and how things weren't going to get better...that's pretty heartbreaking as well.

Really horrible what Internet trolls were doing to his daughter =/


I always liked him a lot when I was little. I watched him in Mork & Mindy a lot, and of course, he did some great family movies at the time, like Mrs. Doubtfire, Hook, and Jumanji.

It was kind of hard to watch Night at the Museum 3, though we didn't yet know of the dementia. I already had trouble watching What Dreams May Come, and now that's going to be especially painful...or World's Greatest Dad =/

His death really hit me hard. No other celebrity's death affected me the way Robin Williams's death did.

People had no business trolling his daughter's twitter page with insensitive tweets. Nobody should have to deal with that kind of behavior when they lose a loved one.

I love Mork and Mindy too. Mork was a very sweet alien. I loved his appearances on Happy Days too. His family friendly movies were great.

My sister and I had a Night at the Museum marathon as soon as we got the third Night at the Museum movie on dvd. What Dreams May Come and World's Greatest Dad are such sad movies.
