Want to know the best Robin Williams movies? How about the worst Robin Williams movies? Curious about Robin Williams’s box office grosses or which Robin Williams movie picked up the most Oscar® nominations? Need to know which Robin Williams movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences? Well, you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.
Robin Williams was one of my favorite actors. I still am in disbelief about how his life came to an end. On the day of his passing, I had just rented his movie, The Angriest Man in Brooklyn. In that movie Robin Williams’ character at the end of this movie said…..”My tombstone will say…”Henry Altman, 1951 dash 2014. I never knew till now it’s not the dates that matter….it’s the dash”. Then his final words in the movie…..”But he also felt at peace in the knowledge that somehow he would live on in the hearts of those who loved him”. Watching this movie on the day Robin Williams passed away was somewhat eerie …especially since his tombstone will now read “Robin Williams, 1951 dash 2014 and the last lines are how many people will remember Mr. Robin Williams. But enough depressing stuff let’s look at his awesome movie career.

July 21st…..Robin Williams’ 67th birthday…..and today’s post.
1. I can not believe (a) he is no longer with us and (b) it has been 4 years since his passing.
2. Just read the book, Robin, a good book, but very depressing…as it shows just how tortured a soul he was…particularly the final couple years of his life.
3. Many times, I have been told, I look like a young Robin Williams…..think The World According To Garp…though I am no where near as hairy as he was.
4. He was one of my favorite actors of the 1980s and 1990s…..heck I even liked The Survivors…but have to admit watching his movies now seems a little sad…knowing how much he was suffering in his private life.
5. Ok….enough…depressing stuff….I have seen 54 of the 57 movies listed…..I have never seen Jack, Destructing Henry or the Hamlet he appeared in.
6. 15 times I went and saw a Robin Williams movie in theaters.
7. I have probably watched or heard Aladdin 300 or 400 times in my life…the benefit of having kids from 30 to 9…and two grandkids from 10 to 1.
8. Happy Birthday Mr. Williams….gone but not forgotten.
A well thought out comment Mr. Cogerson.
Glad you enjoy this Robin Williams comment…..Happy 67th Birthday to Robin.
I know its an old list but saw 32. I love his work. jack is worth watching , a light weight coming of age movie, not very good or great but good by Coppola. fisher king 10/favourite, good will hunting 10/favourite, birdcage 10/fav, mrs doubtfire 10/fav, hook 10/fav, dead poets society 10,
Aladdin is a 9, best cartoon ever, i mean anime. possibly because Williams rewrote it as he voiced it. he felt snubbed by not getting a bonus for his writing so he refused to do a sequel.
hidden gem is august rush.
I just put Robin Williams, Come Inside My Mind 2018 on my watchlist this morning before I saw your post. the Crazy Ones was funny television 2013 -14. I enjoyed reading the old hub comments from 2015.
Robin Williams rest in peace .
Hey bob cox…..32 is pretty impressive……looks like you are a Mr. Williams fan as well. Funny that you mention Jack….that is one of 3 Robin movies that I am missing….as I have seen 54 of these movies. Lots of 10s from you…I like all of those movies with the exception of Mrs. Doubtfire….that movie never really impressed me……it is fine….it just was not laugh out loud funny to me.
I know when he made Aladdin, he did not want to used in the advertising….Disney went back on that deal….and in the end…..Disney gave him an expensive painting to help rebuild some bridges. Glad you enjoyed reading some of these old comments….I actually think they are even older than 2015…..as the page was written in either 2011 or 2012….back in my Hub Pages days.
One of the best decisions I made was to bring the comments from our old pages to this new page….it made the transfer a lot longer to do….but it was well worth it.
Good feedback!
Still dealing with the horrible news of his passing. Luckily he left so many great movies. Awesome tribute to an awesome performer.
Hey My Captaino…..I am right there with you…..I can’t even seem to bring myself to watching his movies….thanks for stopping by
Talented man. I loved ALL his movies. My faves were Mrs Doubtfire and Dead Poets Society. Thanks for the great review, and the stats as usual! Thanks, and I share!
Hey Michelle….thanks for checking out and sharing my Robin Williams hub. I was disappointed in Mrs. Doubtfire the first time I saw the movie…and it has gotten better and better with each additional viewing. Dead Poet’s Society is also one that has gotten better with time. I appreciate the kind words.
Loved this movie page as well. I like this man and his movies. I could not log in as usual due to the heavy thunder and rains of recent. It will last for about a month.
Hey Deepa….glad you liked my Robin Williams hub….sorry about your weather…wow an entire month of storms….sorry to hear about that….keep dry my friend.
I loved him in “Mrs. Doubtfire”. I’ll watch his movies, but most of the time he’s a little over-the-top for my taste. Before you ask, I don’t know. I’m going to go figure out what my taste is. I’ll be back soon. In the meantime, how about a few reviews on some current movies. You know I’m stuck in Mayberry…I need them.:)
Hey FayPax….first of all….very nice to hear from you again. Secondly I understand what you mean about Robin Williams being over the top. And thirdly I have the perfect hub for you….and I think you actually saw the movie page during it’s baby years….
