Off Topic
I tried last night to find the perfect Robin Williams movie to watch and ended up picking one that I had been thinking of the other day which no one has probably ever seen. The Best Of Times with Kurt Russell.

I've seen it
ReplyDeleteAnd funny, nobody really mentioned the world according to Garp.....which put him on map in cinema, big time
I liked The Best of Times but I've gotta agree with Tricia that The World According to Garp was fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI still always yell "Watch Out For The UnderToad" at the beach
ReplyDeleteAny Mork & Mindy with Jonathon Winters.
ReplyDeleteMoscow on the Hudson because a lot ot it was filmed in the neighborhood where I was living
ReplyDeleteSaw it in the theater years ago. Robin was one of my personal heroes and much of my quit wit and humor I have always attributed to him. Of all the celebrity deaths I've seen, this one actually hurts.
ReplyDeleteI'll always love What Dreams May Come
ReplyDeleteMe too, haunting movie <3
DeleteMe too. Everybody hated it and I loved it so much.
DeleteMy favorites, being a child of the 80s/90s, are Hook, Jumanji, and Mrs. Doubtfire. I'm really not ready to watch any of them yet knowing he's gone.
ReplyDeleteI watched The Fisher King and The Birdcage
ReplyDeletegood will hunting, awakenings, one-hour photo. i thought robin was a tremendous dramatic actor. i know he was gifted in comedy, but for some reason i personally never found him funny. Crazy, right?
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to marathon Patch Adams and Death to Smoochie. It's Safari time motherfucker! Safaaaaaaari!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat Dreams May Come is my fav, I haven't thought about Garp in years.
ReplyDeleteThe Fisher King is my favourite. Watching it now. Saw Aladdin earlier, and teared up at the end. "Genie, you're free!"
ReplyDeleteNot crazy, East Coaster, I'm with you. He was too manic to be funny to me, but I did enjoy his acting.
ReplyDeleteWhat about One Hour Photo. He was pretty creepy in that.
ReplyDeleteI'm the only person alive who liked Death To Smoochy so I watched some of that one. I watched One Hour Photo not too long ago. Best Robin performance I've ever seen. Too creepy to revisit right now though.
ReplyDeleteWorld according to garp. Brilliant brilliant. I want him back!!!! I want a do over!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see so many of you loved The World According to Garp, one of my all time favorite movies and books. Sublime performances by Robin, John Lithgow and Glenn Close.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how the cast of Dead Poets Society is feeling. One of the characters in the film killed himself; it was devastating to all of the characters including Robin's.
ReplyDeleteI've probably said this before, but I really disliked his comedy, I love his serious roles. I guess I feel the same way about other physical/accent based comedy. Sasha baron Coen, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler. I do have a sense of humour, but faking a Russian accent or overly self effacing humour is sad to me. Anyway, I will have to watch what dreams may come and good will hunting soon.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget about Toys. Loved that movie also.
ReplyDeleteAnd for the Garp fans..
ARK ARK ARK!
The birdcage. It's still in my top 10 of all time because if his "eclectic dance number". So sad.
ReplyDelete@LadyH (@Jason) death to smoochey, I loved ur if forgot ton he was in it. Tx for reminder.
ReplyDeleteGOOD WIL HUNTING & BIRDCAGE
Can't tell you how many times I've watched them, ESP Birdcage: even tho out if those 2 I'd always figured GOOD WIL was best if I had to pick. Hmm. Maybe not then.
Jumanji is my fave because his and the kids and the old girlfriends screwed up lives got an alternative life thanks to playing the boardgame.
ReplyDeleteA happy ending.
@missbunny
ReplyDeleteI feel the same. He never made me laugh, but frequently made me cry (the scene in 'Good Will Hunting' when he talks about his wife, the conclusion of 'One Hour Photo', and so on. He also made a creepily believable killer in 'Insomnia').
As talented as he undoubtedly was, what made him compelling to watch was not his abilities, but the charisma and complexity and life-force of the man himself. Very few actors are more interesting than the characters they play.
ok I am going to watch The Best of Times. Thx, Enty.
ReplyDeleteI know a couple people complained but I really like when Enty does reveals after a death. It helps me understand more and process the loss. I'm really curious about one blind from about two weeks ago about a comedic actor who if he didn't get help, wouldn't make it. I don't remember if anyone guessed Williams but he would make sense now.
ReplyDeleteCurrently watching What Dreams May Come.
ReplyDeleteI saw it in the theater and the combination of it's visually lushness and raw emotional subjects just gutted me than as it has today.
Now watching The Birdcage. Hook is next (I may be one of the very few on this planet who actually liked that movie and loved him in it).
ReplyDeleteI saw that Netflix has Hook & that was another one of his that Ioved bc I saw in the movies as a kid with my mom.
DeleteIt's always had a soft spot in my heart.
Good morning Vietnam. Dead poets society. Good will hunting
ReplyDeleteI can't watch any of his films right now. It's too soon for me.
ReplyDeleteITA, Enty, I told my eldest son last night how I loved that movie, and him in it. It's hilarious. It's difficult to think of watching any of his movies right now, though. It's just too fresh, and much too sad. </3
ReplyDeleteI watched Aladdin and Jumanji last night. With all the (unheard) stories coming out about him as a person in the last day, I plan on watching all of his movies one after the other.
ReplyDeleteAnd if anyone still looking at these posts from yesterday..
ReplyDeleteJack..cuz my uncle was in it with him..and he was, as all say..the nicest ..gentlest soul ever.
Why is no one talking about Patch Adams?
ReplyDeleteI live not to far from where Robin did, and Tuesday's when he was available and in town at the Throckmorton Theater in Mill Valley he would perform at comedy night where he would do a quick set and support all the younger comedians. He was a pretty amazing and rather low key guy - I mean he went to visit the monkey from the movie Night at the Museum when she was in SF to do a funding drive - his last photo was of him and that monkey Kristabell I think, they were buddies. That photo makes it seem like he was happy and while he had a tragic diagnosis I wish he'd made it through (at least for a while longer) A generous, kind man who will probably always be so unique - we were lucky to have to have him. I wish... so many things...
