    Yeah, as good as that movie is, it's kinda not good either. At all. :p You want good Robin Williams drama, watch Good Will Hunting instead.

    Dead Poet's Society is OK. The ending with all the boys standing up and saying "Oh Captain My Captain" always makes me misty-eyed.

    I like Mrs. Doubtfire for a Robin Williams flick.

    Personally it's gotta be Death to Smoochy.

    Good morning!

    Oh Mrs Doubtfire is hilarious. So many funny lines! "Carpe Dentum: Seize the teeth." "It was a run-by fruiting!" [face_laugh]

    Oh, good Lord, how I so co-sign this. Death to Smoochy and One Hour Photo both came out in proximity to each other, which served to demonstrate his usually undemonstrated acting range. Both of those also happen to be my favorite Williams films. Sy the Photo Guy and Rainbow for the win.

    Yes, my city's hockey team is better than your hockey team, simply due to this:

    It's meant to be moving, but it's also horribly bleak. All of the characters that stood on their desks are most likely going to be expelled now not to mention Robin Williams is still out of a job. The suicide thing would have been touching, if it weren't so completely out of character (and don't get me started on the set-up of that scene).

    Anyway I watched Logan's Run too which is the definition of tedium. It was an ok dated little 70's film right up until Michael York and friends left the city. Then it just plods along. Ugh.

    Good Will Hunting. Dead Poets Society, Mrs. Doubtfire, Man of the Year, & Aladdin are my favorite Robert Williams films.

    :cool:

    Anyway, Hook's an underrated piece of awesome. Williams is clearly having tons of fun with the role, similarly to Mrs. Doubtfire or Jumanji. And the score by John Williams is one of my favorites of his.

    Jumanji! How the **** did I forget that?! One of my favorite films when I was a kid.

    I saw Hook. I liked it. Wasn't Williams also in Bicentennial Man?

    I just finished watching Silver Linings Playbook with the family. I thought it was pretty good. I can see why Jennifer Lawrence won the Oscar and Bradley Cooper really surprised me.
