Another vote for "Good Will Hunting", but I really enjoy watching "RV" too.

The Survivors is free right now on Amazon Prime. I've seen each movie mentioned in this thread, some more than once (Good Morning Vietnam, Good Will Hunting, RV, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Fisher King, Aladdin), except The Survivors which I plan to watch today.

I remember Robin Williams' passing, I was visiting someone special in my life when it happened and we were both stunned at the news. He was such a unique and inimitable talent. I'm so sorry about the struggles his children had dealing with his last wife after his passing away.

I just finished watching The Survivors, it was very interesting. I didn't realize doomsday "preppers" went back that far. The last scene was especially poignant, now after knowing how Williams died. Glad I watched it.

Gotta be The world according to Garp...

Where else can you see John Lithgow in drag?

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Insomnia. Williams (killer) and Pacino (detective) square off in the land of the midnight sun.

Williams is very good playing against his comedic image.

I loved him in Moscow on the Hudson. The coffee line gets me every time.

I would say I don’t have just one favorite Williams film
I always enjoy “The Birdcage”, “Mrs. Doubtfire”, and “Dead Poets Society”...
And I am going to rewatch “One Hour Photo” and “The Fisher King”...
Some of his films like “Awakenings” and “Garp” I have seen several times and rate highly but leave me sad

Any others who are big Williams fans?
With other suggestions?
Toys was my favorite. Just such a bizarre movie.

(I have only watched about six Robin Williams movies, but Good Will Hunting was my favorite -- he turned in an absolutely amazing performance, imo -- with Awakenings being a close second. And Aladdin takes third place in my opinion. One Hour Photo was good, too.

We lost a huge talent when we lost Robin Williams.
