So, I'm sure I'm not the only one on here, buy I'm a big fan if Robin Williams and it sucks to hear he lost to his personal battles. So in some sort of tribute what's your favorite work he gave us? I personally have to go with Patch Adams and Good will hunting. There's something about a movie that can make you laugh and cry at the same time. We lost a genius that will be missed and hopefully his passing will end up helping someone going through the same struggles.
It's sad he took his own life, unfortunately we forget that sometimes the funniest people have some of the saddest moments in life and we are all ignorant to it. Very sad.
From Hook to Mork and Mindy to even One Hour Photo (so creepy), the Genie from Aladdin, etc etc. and his standup on the origins of golf are classic. It feels like my generation (80s/90s) have lost someone who made a huge impact on our lives through his gift of making is smile.
I agree. It ruined my day when I heard at work. There are too many to choose from to state my fav work of his. The two you mentioned were great, but then there's Aladdin, Mrs Doubtfire and Jack. But his contrasting performance in One Hour Photo and Insomnia.
Did I mention he named his daughter after one of the greatest video game franchises in history and was an advocate for playtime as recreation. What a guy.

Goooooooooood morning Vietnam!!!
Yeah. I liked that crazy guy. I'll miss him.
I agree GOOOOOOOD MOOOOOORRRRRNNNINNNNNG VIETNAAAAAAM!! Is my favourite character of his!
Ill miss him bc he was just so easy to love his characters were (almost) all funny and adorable. He was a great actor/comedian and it's a sad thing that he's gone :(

Robin Williams is the first celebrity death in a long time that actually made me feel like crying. He had a style that was easy to parody and was looked down upon in our modern cynic-dominated outlook. But at his funniest he was like a train of Marx bros and he will be sorely missed
I agree, I don't know that ANY celebrity death has hit me like him. He's just one of those guys you connect with. Sucks that a man that touched so many people over the years, felt that he was so alone in the world that this was the only way to fix the pain. So many people would have loved to just listen for him. Makes you realize how deep the problem can be.
Did you guys ever see that episode of Whose Line? Absolutely dominated.

God, yes.
I'll miss him. He was a true great in the world of comedy, and brought so many smiles to people who needed them. It's such a tragedy when one who helps so many through their pain isn't given the same help themselves when they need and deserve it most. RIP Robin, I hope you know how many lives you touched.
