This article will discuss the films and career of Robin Williams. Robin Williams got his big start on television, on the hit series Mork & Mindy from 1978 to 1982. After that, he established himself as one of the greatest comedians of his generation. He is an incredibly likable actor and has had some incredible films.
The following films are what I consider to be the best movies of Robin Williams' illustrious career.
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 definitely has to be included on this list is Good Morning, Vietnam. This film was released in 1988 and directed by Barry Levinson, and features Williams as an unorthodox DJ who took control of the US armed forces radio station during the war.
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 movie to make the list is One Hour Photo. I am including this movie because it is such a departure from any other type of Robin Williams role. It is sad, it is depressing and it is creepy. I liked it because it really helped showcase his talent and showed that there's much more to him than funny jokes.
This was not an easy article to write, as most of Robin Williams' movies are enjoyable.
