I wasn't a Robin Williams fan, with one exception: "Mrs. Doubtfire". Saw it again recently, and this scene always cracks me up. (The movie won an Academy Award for best makeup )
I loved that movie. I could never decide which movie I liked better, Mrs. Doubtfire or Tootsie with Dustin Hoffman.
I'm curious. Why weren't you "a fan" of Robin Williams? Was there something about him I don't know? I always saw him as a warm and fuzzy clown knocking himself out to make the world laugh. He always made me laugh. And sometimes brought me to tears...like in "Patch Adams". I even cried in Mrs. Doubtfire too lol.I wasn't a Robin Williams fan, with one exception: "Mrs. Doubtfire".

YES! "Help is on the way, dear!" The Pierce Brosnan Heimlich maneuver. :laugh:I watched the scene and I laugh every time I see him jump over all the tables in the restaurant to rescue the man choking.
Hey Ronnie,
Sally has won 2 Oscars, 4 Emmys, and been nominated for a list of awards a mile long. I don't think she's underrated or unappreciated. Her performance in Sybil was stellar imo.
At 71 she still looks fantastic.
My favorites too! Loved his talents. Jim Carrey, just so so for me.Hate Robin Williams' interviews, but LOVE his movies. The Bird Cage is my favorite (I still watch it whenever I'm seriously down in the dumps), closely followed by Good Morning Vietnam.
The manic way he was in interviews & talk shows was part of his illness, which is why he committed suicide.@ Lara
Happy to answer your question. Robin was too "manic" for my tastes, ESPECIALLY in interviews and talk shows. He couldn't sit still, seemed not to be able to give a sensible answer to a question. I didn't like Mork & Mindy, never saw many of his movies such as Good Morning Vietnam or Patch Adams....and I know he had a large body of work. But I was shocked and saddened when I heard he had taken his life.
YES! "Help is on the way, dear!" The Pierce Brosnan Heimlich maneuver. :laugh:
But, and this might surprise you, I've always loved Jim Carrey...seen almost all his movies. I know people who cannot stand Jim, and I mention it because some feel Jim is more irritating than Robin ever was. Go figure
