Robin Williams Movies


Robin Williams is an iconic actor, and I have always enjoyed his movies.  Granted some I have enjoyed more than others.  However, Williams has always been superb.

Popeye (1980)
Dead Poet's Society. (1989)
Awakenings (1990)
****^Hook  (1991) One of Robin Williams' best movies, with a profound lesson on what it means to be a father.
Timekeeper (1992). short
Ferngully: The Last Rainforest (1992) animated 
***** Alladin (1992) (animated)
Toys (1992)
Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)
being Human (1994)
Nine Months (1995)
Jumanji (1995)
Jack (1996)
Father's Day  (1997)
Flubber (1997)
Good Will Hunting  (1997).  For this movie Robin Williams won the Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.  Williams really is terrific.  He plays a psychologist.  However I have not written a review for this film as the language is not uplifting, in fact it is degrading.  However the scene where Williams talks about his wife's farting in her sleep, and explains what it means to be in love to the younger lad are great.
 What Dreams May Come (1998)
Patch Adams (1998)
Jakov the Liar (1999)
Bicentennial Man (1999)
***^The House of D (2004) Not one of Williams' best, but in this movie he acts with his daughter, Zelda.
Noel (2004)
Robots (2005) animated
***R.V.  Maybe over the top.(2006)
Man of the Year (2006)
The Night at the Museum  (2006) Ben Stiller plays the security guard, and Robin WIlliams, Teddy Roosevelt.
Happy Feet (2006)
License to Wed (2007)
August Rush (2007)
***The Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.  In this film Williams portrays Teddy Roosevelt.  Williams does a fine job, but the movie is a bit over the top.  This movie features Ben Stiller. (2009) 
Old Dogs (2009)
Happy Feet 2 (2011)
Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014)


More to come
