A Variety Of The Greatest Movies From The Incredibly Likable Performer, Robin Williams

By Matthew Harris


One of the undisputed kings of comedy is Robin Williams. It is funny, because in his stand up act, Robin Williams is incredibly dirty, however his movies shape him out to be a more wholesome person. I guess him and Bob Sagat are similar in this respect. Robin Williams, however is an incredible actor who has had more than his fair share of great films.

But which Robin Williams movies are the best? Here are some of my personal favorites.

Before Big Momma's House and before John Travolta decided to play a lady in the hit film Hairspray, Robin Williams had his iconic performance as the role of Mrs. Doubtfire. This is one of my favorite comedies of the 90s and a great one to watch with the family.

Another movie that I will include on this list is Patch Adams. In this film, Robin Williams plays the title character, who is a doctor that uses his sense of humor in the 1970s to treat his patients. It is a heartfelt film, to say the least.

One movie that has to be included on this list, and is probably my favorite of any on this list, is Good Will Hunting. This movie stars Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Minnie Driver and of course, Robin Williams. Williams won a best supporting actor Oscar for this film, as did Damon and Affleck for best original screenplay.

Dead Poet's Society is another movie that I highly recommend. To say this is an inspirational movie is an understatement. Films like Dangerous Minds, Freedom Writers and the like would not exist without Dead Poet's Society.

The final film that I will discuss is The Birdcage. This movie plays out like a theatrical performance, which very well might have been their intention. It is hilarious and Williams is fantastic as the part of Armand Goldman.

This was not an easy article to write, as most of Robin Williams' movies are enjoyable.
