You read a lot? I picked up my reading speed using a free app called elevate. You mentioned "wishing" you could get through books faster. You may want to check it out.... from one avid reader to another. I'm enjoying your reactions.
IF you truly enjoy Robin, in serious...yet funny roles I suggest you watch Patch Adams. If you want more serious roles, What Dreams May Come is another good one.
The story about his wife farting was improvised by Robin, Matt's laughing was genuine and if you look closely you can see the camera operator shaking too. Robin also improvised the very last line of the movie. Scary when you realise that Matt & Ben wrote this classic when they were only 22 and when his performance was recognised by the Academy, Robin referenced their age during his acceptance words. The whole speech is one of the best Oscar moments ever, you can feel the love in the room for Robin, especially from the host Billy Crystal, his old friend from the very early days of trying to make it in showbiz. Wonderful. Do try and find the time to do a search on YT and watch. ❤
@@AwesomeUSMovies Bingo. Still makes me cry to see the honest love Robin had from his peers. That wasn't polite applause - they adored him and he deserved his win so much.
Matt Damon played Will! His other friend is Ben Affleck! They wrote the movie! They both grew up in the Boston area! Both of had a lot of success of movies since this was produced! You’re right Robin Williams was amazing in this! The first time I saw Robin was on his TV show Mork and Mindy or he played an alien from outer space! Great heartfelt reaction to this movie!
If I may make your next Robin Williams movie reaction, you'll love "The Fisher King" (1991) with Robin and Jeff Bridges. One of my favorite movies ever.
Rest in Peace Robin, so sad to know he was dealing with his own demons at this time in his life that ultimately won. If only he could have felt the joy he gave so many others and still does today with his humor and movies.
Robin's line of "stole my line" bit was a complete improv that they kept in the movie.... Another dramatic movie that Robin was in that is much lesser know is "The World According to Garp" Definitely a good watch to check out
That movie was on tv when I was a kid, and I remember watching the whole thing assuming it was a comedy, since Robin Williams was in it. It actually had quite an impact on me, in that it taught me how to enter situations without expectations thus rarely being let down by others.
NOBODY reacts to that, but it's on the top of my list of Robin's films. Only knowing him from Mork & Mindy and Popeye, it was amazing to see him do a dramatic.. now no everyone knows he was a good dramatic actor, but back then it was a gamble for him.
NOBODY could transition from funny to serious better and more believable than Robin Williams. I miss him so much. Great reaction, James, I imagine you had your work cut out for you with the editing with all the raw language! Oh, you have seen Matt Damon before, he played Private Ryan a few months after this movie!
Glad you enjoyed it and yes lots of editing. Apparently I've seen him twice actually. I saw him in SPR and interstellar. I swear, I'm going to have to start having some type of fancy XL matrix to keep track of what actors and where I've seen them and all that stuff.
James you have me crying! Thank you for your own authenticity and vulnerability. I have been in social services for 20 years and have been brought to my knees in tears many times. However, God is good! Thanks for watching and sharing this great movie.
Robin Williams is a once-a-generation-actor. In his case maybe even less than that number and again maybe found every two generations. He had such a charisma and joy that that just captivated....and felt in his global audience. Rest in peace. You are greatly missed by many. Love Tony from Sweden
Loved your reaction! When Robin passed, the bench from the monologue scene with the two of them in Boston became a temporary memorial. It was beautiful to see.There are pics of it online.
I remember you mentioning that you've watched Disney movies because of your kids and I wanted to point out that Robin Williams voiced the Genie in Aladdin, so that would be another film that has him in it that you can add to your list of films you've seen with Robin Williams
I was at Disneyland, and they had a giant animated show over the water.... and out of nowhere this voice of Robin Genie Aladdin says "HEELLLLOOOOOO" and I literally burst into tears. I miss him so much. He was a local bay area native, and so was I.
This is a wonderful movie, so well written and acted. RIP Robin Williams, he was a treasure. Besides some of his movies I especially like: The World According to Garp (1982), Moscow on the Hudson (1984), Awakenings (1990), The Fisher King (1991), Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), Jumanji (1995), One Hour Photo (2002).
This has been one of my favorite films since I first saw it years and years ago. I find the dynamic between Will and Sean being so shocking. It's essentially a person trying to balance their youthful energy and passion with their wisdom and calming of age.
Thank you for what you said at the end of the video. You don't know how much I needed to hear that. I thought it was bad enough dealing with Crohn's for most of my life. I eventually got an ileostomy and it helped get my life together. But then last year, my 2 best friends passed away. I don't have many friends as it is. Since they passed, life has been very isolating and empty. I'm working a job that's not at all what I want to do. It can eventually turn into a good career, but it's soul-crushing for me. I'm in a state of limbo. I've had very little success in my dream career and I haven't had much time or opportunity to grow it. After my friends passed, I've felt no motivation to keep pursuing it. I feel like I've changed a lot and I haven't properly processed everything. The time moves by so fast and I am making no progress. I reached a breaking point a few days ago at work. I can't keep living with unhappiness and feeling like I'm squandering my gifts. I know my friends wouldn't want me to give up either. Thank you, James.
Minnie Driver, the girlfriend, plays in one of my favorite films, Grosse Pointe Blank. 1997, hitman, action, violence, comedy, love story. Great 80s soundtrack. I BEG you to react to that one.
This movie was also written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Really enjoyed it. You should also watch Patch Adams. Its a great mix of serious Robin Williams and that goofy type of comedy character that was a perfect role for Robin Williams. Another favorite Robin Williams is good morning vietnam. Its like certain roles were made for him
Matt Damon [Will Hunting] and Ben Affleck [friend who wanted him to leave] are on top of the credits because they wrote the film - this was their breakout film.
Highly recommend Williams in an old drama that helped start his career, The World According To Garp. It was s good book first. Also a more recent but little known dramedy that is serious but has kids in it with Robin, is Jack. A different performance than you’ve seen from Williams.
One of the best written screenplays of all time. Beats Casablanca and that's considered the best. I would say Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind is up there too.
Not one opinion mentioned. Pure corporate information. What exactly is your point? That’s it’s good? Just say that then. You are literally telling us that Hollywood awarded Hollywood. I’m curious why.
The "what is that accent" girl is Minnie Driver, she played a few minor roles around that time (90s), they are either a bit hit or miss in the success area.
I have a couple classic Robin Williams, that I highly recommend you should react to. The first is "The World According Garp" it's such a great movie, that I'm always amazed that it's hardly ever mentioned as one of his best. And the other is "Survivors" which also stars besides Robin Williams, the legendary Walter Matthau. I'm not going to say much more about them, accept I really do believe that you'll love both of them.
Two of my favorite Robin Williams movies are 'Good Morning Vietnam' and 'Awakenings', both based on true stories. Bonus Forest Whitaker in 'Good Morning Vietnam' and bonus Robert de Niro in 'Awakenings'.
I'm so happy you shared this reaction with us on TH-cam, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed the film. It's definitely one of Robin's best dramatic roles. I think it would be very interesting for you to see One Hour Photo, What Dreams May Come, or The Fisher King, all excellent RW films that also touch on trauma in very different ways.
There’s one Robin Williams movie I’ve always loved tho most people seem to have forgotten. The Fisher King, with Williams and Jeff Bridges. It think it won an Oscar for best supporting female, Mercedes Raul. I’d love to watch you watching it.
Their buddy, tall with strawberry hair, also played in Dazed and Confused, and is currently playing Rip on the current series “Yellowstone”, yes, the big, tall, cowboy with darker hair, who runs the ranch.
A minor detail: The professor said it took 2 years to *prove*, which is not the same as *solve*. Proving would be that they showed there are no other solutions outside the set of solutions they solved. This is that theoretical mathematics stuff engineers like myself hate, because it has no apparent use and a machine works regardless of the infinite amount of possibilities that say it doesn't in some parallel universe.
I actually grew up in some of the places featured in this movie, and I have seen it many times, so it is kind of ingrained in me at this point. Watching your reaction to this wonderful and amazing movie brought back some of the emotions that I don't usually feel when other reactors do videos of this. The way you miss Robin is so like the way I miss him...thank you for posting this, James. 💯 I am just a tiny bit sad we did not get to see you laugh your butt off at Robin's "only if you grab my ass" joke...but I will get over it. LOL 😁
Wow, what a person you are. That speach at the end, it really did touch me as person with depression and repeated loss in the family. Thank you. Greetings from Finland.
Another great and moving movie starring Robin Williams is 'Awakenings'. He plays doctor who makes someone come alive from locked-in syndrome (Robert di Niro).
Matt Damon played Will Hunting (and Co-wrote this film w/ Ben)… A couple of great Matt Damon films you’ll LOVE: “THE MARTIAN,” and “THE BOURNE IDENTITY”… There’s more, but that’s a great start. Cheers!
I know the Martian because it's based off a book. I've read the book and it was very very good but I don't think watching a movie were I know everything is going to happen would work for this channel. I'll add Bourne Identity. Thanks
You have already watched 3 of Robin's best, but, if you want more serious rolls, 'Awakenings' (1990) and 'Patch Adams' (1998) are both excellent choices and the characters he plays are based on real people in both.
Good Morning, Vietnam and What Dreams May Come are 2 more serious Robin Williams roles you should see. I’ll add The Fisher King to that, too. His role in that one, as a homeless man, inspired him to become very involved in helping the homeless. It’s a beautiful movie. He stars opposite Jeff Bridges. It’s an EARLY Robin movie, but it’s worth it. I go watch him win his Oscar every once in a while just to smile. He was such a beautiful, talented soul. And Matt and Ben are also amazing. That they wrote such a deep and touching movie…brilliant work. Glad you loved it. Watch more Robin movies. You won’t be disappointed. I promise.
Everything I've seen with Affleck & Damon I've enjoyed. I see there are plenty of recommendations in the comments. ~~My fav Robin Wms movie is The Fisher King. Amazing performances by all.
Enjoyed your reaction to this excellent movie, James. A few suggestions: Matt Damon - The Martian Minnie Driver - Return To Me Robin Williams - House Of D ...and yes, Stellan Skarsgard was in Hunt For Red October... he played the captain of the Russian attack sub that was trying to destroy the Red October. He was also in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (the remake with Daniel Craig). Some heavy subject matter, but a good movie. Rooney Mara was excellent in it (nominated for Best Actress).
Fun fact about Rooney Mara, her mother's side of the family is the same Rooney's that founded the Pittsburgh Steelers and her father's side is the Maras that founded the new York Giants.
It was Matt Damon as Will, and you've seen him before: he was in Interstellar as Mann (the astronaut who tried to hijack the ship) and he was Pvt. Ryan in Saving Private Ryan. Casey Affleck (Morgan) was also in Interstellar as Matthew McConaughey's adult son and Murph's brother.
Now that you've been introduced to Matt Damon, you need to watch The Martian. And, of course, the Bourne movies!! --- Oh man, do you have some good stuff coming your way!
Three other Robin William films you should watch are Patch Adams which is based on a true story, The World According to Garp, and Good Morning Vietnam. All three are great films.
How could someone abuse a child? The cute way to say it is: "Hurt people hurt people." One much clearer way to say it is "People who've been hurt sometimes hurt others."
Matt Damon has been in a lot of different type of roles. Mostly action/adventure though. However, he is a multi-faceted character, with capabilities much like Robin Williams to do both drama and comedy.
Matt is the blonde guy and he has been in so many movies including The Martian, The Departed, Jason Bourne, Talented Mr. Ripley, the Informant, Oceans 11, Dogma, Ford vs Ferrari, and Beyond the Candelabra
Ben is the friend and he is a really great director and actor. He was in one of the Batmans, Gone Girl, Pearl Harbor, Hollywoodland, Armageddon- and he directed The Town, Gone Baby Gone, and Argo which I think won Best Picture. I definitely recommend Argo
The hunt for Good will its an Intentional PUN. Its not about money, work, the right psychological treatment, its about following your heart, its about being a genius and even then, following your heart, its about being a mathematician genius and yet following your heart, it matters not in which class it can get your, your wit, books or special tallent, none compare with your heart. Almost NO ONE understands this about this movie.. Robin's character leaves his field also Will does.. its ALL ABOUT A GOOD WILL HUNTING. they - the characters are a mere reflection of that purpose. Follow your HEARTS PEOPLE
Good Morning Viet Nam is another wonderful Robin Williams movie and it has both his comedic side and his serious side. An Btw this screenplay was written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck and it never would have been made if Robin Williams hadn't agreed to be in the movie, Damon has said in interviews that they had no backing for the movie until Robin stepped up and agreed to be in it. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were nobodies and this movie made them.
What an amazing movie! Everyone looking in the Mirror🪞& facing the hard truths about they’re lives, they’re horrible pain, & they’re past traumas!Then supporting each other thru the healing process, which is different for each of us❤️🩹! I’m still struggling from past traumas & trying to get thru a minute at a time! I’m not feeling Awesome!Boy I sure do miss Robin Williams RIP 🤍🕊️
@@AwesomeUSMovies. Also he and Ben are in another fantastic movie with a huge cast called Dazed and Confused. It’s about growing up in the 70’s. It has an amazing sound track also. I think you will like it
This is a wonderful movie. Robin Williams is such a favorite of mine. You should really watch The World According to Garp. Early Robin Williams and the first time I ever saw him play a dramatic roll and it just blew me away. Great reaction.
Matt Damon played Will Hunting and Ben Affleck played his friend, Chuckie. Damon and Affleck also won an Oscar for best original screenplay for the movie (and Robin Williams won best supporting actor). You saw Matt Damon in "Saving Private Ryan" (he was Pvt. Ryan), and "Interstellar" (Dr. Mann). You also saw Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam. For more of Ben Affleck, I would recommend "The Accountant" and "Argo". For more Matt Damon I suggest "The Martian", "Invictus", and the "The Borne Identity" (the Bourne trilogy).
My takeaway from this was the truth that we're all broken. It's all about how we can help ourselves put as many pieces back together best we can. And forgive everyone else's brokenness.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won a Oscar for this..They wrote this.. first time writers.. check out Matt in The Martian..Ford versus Ferrari...Ben is in a lot of things..The Accountant is good.
You're correct, James - it is Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård that you were thinking of from The Hunt for Red October (he was Captain Tupolev in that one, and Professor Lambeau in this one). I believe that "Skarsh-gord," emphasis on the first syllable, is the correct pronunciation of his name.
@@AwesomeUSMovies Other interesting trivia: Matt Damon (Will) and Ben Affleck (Chuckie) were childhood friends and grew up in Boston. They co-wrote the script and won an Oscar for it...and the award was presented by Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau!

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck wrote the screenplay and won an Oscar for it. As did Robin Williams. Pure brilliance.
You read a lot? I picked up my reading speed using a free app called elevate. You mentioned "wishing" you could get through books faster. You may want to check it out.... from one avid reader to another. I'm enjoying your reactions.
Biker boys is a cult classic with bikers
IF you truly enjoy Robin, in serious...yet funny roles I suggest you watch Patch Adams. If you want more serious roles, What Dreams May Come is another good one.
Birdcage is also worth a look.
The story about his wife farting was improvised by Robin, Matt's laughing was genuine and if you look closely you can see the camera operator shaking too. Robin also improvised the very last line of the movie. Scary when you realise that Matt & Ben wrote this classic when they were only 22 and when his performance was recognised by the Academy, Robin referenced their age during his acceptance words. The whole speech is one of the best Oscar moments ever, you can feel the love in the room for Robin, especially from the host Billy Crystal, his old friend from the very early days of trying to make it in showbiz. Wonderful. Do try and find the time to do a search on YT and watch. ❤
Just watched it, I want to see some ID.
@@AwesomeUSMovies Bingo. Still makes me cry to see the honest love Robin had from his peers. That wasn't polite applause - they adored him and he deserved his win so much.
The Ben affleck monologue about him hoping to go to Matt Damon’s door and him not being there is one of my favorite scenes of all time
Well written indeed
‘THE BIRDCAGE’ needs to be your next Robin Williams watch!
Added
Matt Damon played Will! His other friend is Ben Affleck! They wrote the movie! They both grew up in the Boston area! Both of had a lot of success of movies since this was produced! You’re right Robin Williams was amazing in this! The first time I saw Robin was on his TV show Mork and Mindy or he played an alien from outer space! Great heartfelt reaction to this movie!
So glad you enjoyed it Jan
RIP ROBIN WILLIAMS!!! Left us to soon:(
Agreed
This remains one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. I cry every time I see it.
Loved it
This film hits HARD. His fight with skyler, and the end scene where “it’s not your fault”
Tears everytime.
If I may make your next Robin Williams movie reaction, you'll love "The Fisher King" (1991) with Robin and Jeff Bridges. One of my favorite movies ever.
The Fisher King is something special. LOVE that movie!
Some of the best movie dialogue ever written imo
OMG! I never caught her holding binoculars the wrong way before (17:21) ..... Good eyes "Former Farmer"! Love the channel BTW
Thanks for watching
RIP, Robin Williams. He took the Oscar for his role in the movie.
Agreed
Rest in Peace Robin, so sad to know he was dealing with his own demons at this time in his life that ultimately won. If only he could have felt the joy he gave so many others and still does today with his humor and movies.
The binoculars catch was great. Never noticed before.
What Dreams May Come, or The Fisher King Robin Williams Masterpieces!!!!
Robin's line of "stole my line" bit was a complete improv that they kept in the movie.... Another dramatic movie that Robin was in that is much lesser know is "The World According to Garp" Definitely a good watch to check out
That movie was on tv when I was a kid, and I remember watching the whole thing assuming it was a comedy, since Robin Williams was in it. It actually had quite an impact on me, in that it taught me how to enter situations without expectations thus rarely being let down by others.
NOBODY reacts to that, but it's on the top of my list of Robin's films. Only knowing him from Mork & Mindy and Popeye, it was amazing to see him do a dramatic.. now no everyone knows he was a good dramatic actor, but back then it was a gamble for him.
NOBODY could transition from funny to serious better and more believable than Robin Williams. I miss him so much.
Great reaction, James, I imagine you had your work cut out for you with the editing with all the raw language!
Oh, you have seen Matt Damon before, he played Private Ryan a few months after this movie!
Glad you enjoyed it and yes lots of editing. Apparently I've seen him twice actually. I saw him in SPR and interstellar. I swear, I'm going to have to start having some type of fancy XL matrix to keep track of what actors and where I've seen them and all that stuff.
James you have me crying! Thank you for your own authenticity and vulnerability. I have been in social services for 20 years and have been brought to my knees in tears many times. However, God is good! Thanks for watching and sharing this great movie.
You are so welcome
Also watch the Birdcage with Robin Williams
This one and Dead Poets are in my favorite Robin Williams flicks. I’d add Awakenings and Good Morning Vietnam!!!
Actually I already reacted to that. Just forgot. I added a link in my description.
Garp?
Robin Williams is a once-a-generation-actor. In his case maybe even less than that number and again maybe found every two generations.
He had such a charisma and joy that that just captivated....and felt in his global audience.
Rest in peace. You are greatly missed by many. Love Tony from Sweden
Really liked the movie The Fisher King that Robin Williams was in.
Loved your reaction! When Robin passed, the bench from the monologue scene with the two of them in Boston became a temporary memorial. It was beautiful to see.There are pics of it online.
That's beautiful!!! WOW!
That's awesome!
I remember you mentioning that you've watched Disney movies because of your kids and I wanted to point out that Robin Williams voiced the Genie in Aladdin, so that would be another film that has him in it that you can add to your list of films you've seen with Robin Williams
Great to know
I was at Disneyland, and they had a giant animated show over the water.... and out of nowhere this voice of Robin Genie Aladdin says "HEELLLLOOOOOO"
and I literally burst into tears. I miss him so much. He was a local bay area native, and so was I.
This is a wonderful movie, so well written and acted.
RIP Robin Williams, he was a treasure. Besides some of his movies I especially like: The World According to Garp (1982), Moscow on the Hudson (1984), Awakenings (1990), The Fisher King (1991), Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), Jumanji (1995), One Hour Photo (2002).
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe. Also RIP, Lance Reddick, the concierge from the John Wick movies passed away this morning at age 60.
- Matt Damon was Will Hunting. Some of the best films with him as a lead are "The Martian", and the "Bourne Identity" series.
James thanks for sharing your thought, you're one of the most sincere reactors out here.
I appreciate that
This has been one of my favorite films since I first saw it years and years ago.
I find the dynamic between Will and Sean being so shocking. It's essentially a person trying to balance their youthful energy and passion with their wisdom and calming of age.
I very much enjoyed it
A movie that no one reacts to on TH-cam is one of my fav Robin Williams movies ever, Patch Adams. You will cry!!!
I appreciated your words at the end of this reaction - your feelings, your heart, and your vulnerability.
Thank you so much, it came from the heart
Thank you for what you said at the end of the video. You don't know how much I needed to hear that. I thought it was bad enough dealing with Crohn's for most of my life.

Minnie Driver, the girlfriend, plays in one of my favorite films, Grosse Pointe Blank. 1997, hitman, action, violence, comedy, love story. Great 80s soundtrack. I BEG you to react to that one.
Agreed!
Definitely. It's such a weird, brilliant movie.
This movie was also written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Really enjoyed it. You should also watch Patch Adams.

Oh cool, well done
"I'm not a big alcohol person, I like vodka".
Me: Same!
I thought about that afterward. LOL, I'm a big White Russian / Bloody Mary person on special occasions or vacations.
Have to watch Jumanji with Robin in it!!
Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.
Highly recommend Williams in an old drama that helped start his career, The World According To Garp. It was s good book first. Also a more recent but little known dramedy that is serious but has kids in it with Robin, is Jack. A different performance than you’ve seen from Williams.
Written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, won Oscar for best screenplay. Robin Williams won for best supporting actor.
Well deserved for sure
One of the best written screenplays of all time. Beats Casablanca and that's considered the best. I would say Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind is up there too.
Not one opinion mentioned. Pure corporate information. What exactly is your point? That’s it’s good? Just say that then. You are literally telling us that Hollywood awarded Hollywood. I’m curious why.

I love this movie. Robin was total fire and his ad-lib parts are toughing to the heart.
Thanks Bill for watching
Good Morning, Vietnam is a must see for another Robin Williams drama.
Two of my favorite Robin Williams movies are 'Good Morning Vietnam' and 'Awakenings', both based on true stories. Bonus Forest Whitaker in 'Good Morning Vietnam' and bonus Robert de Niro in 'Awakenings'.
This was such an incredible film and performance
I'm so happy you shared this reaction with us on TH-cam, and I'm thrilled you enjoyed the film. It's definitely one of Robin's best dramatic roles. I think it would be very interesting for you to see One Hour Photo, What Dreams May Come, or The Fisher King, all excellent RW films that also touch on trauma in very different ways.
Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.
One of my favorite movies watched by one of my favorite reactors! Love your channel, enjoy this fantastic movie!

Patch Adams is a good one too. Underrated Robin Williams film.
the awakenings with robin williams and
robert deniro is an outstanding performance by both.
hope you get to it.
Another fantastic, serious performance by Robin Williams is in the film AWAKENINGS. It also stars the legendary Robert DeNiro. Highly recommended.
Fellow bookworm, glad you are enjoying movies. Robin Williams is particularly wonderful.
agreed
Robin Williams was excellent in Patch Adams. You would enjoy that one as well.
Wow, what a person you are. That speach at the end, it really did touch me as person with depression and repeated loss in the family. Thank you.
Greetings from Finland.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the support
Another deep Robin Williams movie is What Dreams May Come
Another great and moving movie starring Robin Williams is 'Awakenings'.
He plays doctor who makes someone come alive from locked-in syndrome (Robert di Niro).
"It's not your fault" scene tears me up every time.
100%
Robin Williams was also great in Awakenings , great movie that also stars Robert De Niro
Matt Damon played Will Hunting (and Co-wrote this film w/ Ben)… A couple of great Matt Damon films you’ll LOVE: “THE MARTIAN,” and “THE BOURNE IDENTITY”… There’s more, but that’s a great start. Cheers!
I know the Martian because it's based off a book. I've read the book and it was very very good but I don't think watching a movie were I know everything is going to happen would work for this channel. I'll add Bourne Identity. Thanks
You have already watched 3 of Robin's best, but, if you want more serious rolls, 'Awakenings' (1990) and 'Patch Adams' (1998) are both excellent choices and the characters he plays are based on real people in both.
..for real range, his physical genius was on display in 'Popeye', fun movie
Good Morning, Vietnam and What Dreams May Come are 2 more serious Robin Williams roles you should see. I’ll add The Fisher King to that, too. His role in that one, as a homeless man, inspired him to become very involved in helping the homeless. It’s a beautiful movie. He stars opposite Jeff Bridges. It’s an EARLY Robin movie, but it’s worth it. I go watch him win his Oscar every once in a while just to smile. He was such a beautiful, talented soul. And Matt and Ben are also amazing. That they wrote such a deep and touching movie…brilliant work. Glad you loved it. Watch more Robin movies. You won’t be disappointed. I promise.
Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.
Everything I've seen with Affleck & Damon I've enjoyed. I see there are plenty of recommendations in the comments. ~~My fav Robin Wms movie is The Fisher King. Amazing performances by all.
Added thanks
Enjoyed your reaction to this excellent movie, James.
A few suggestions:
Matt Damon - The Martian
Minnie Driver - Return To Me
Robin Williams - House Of D
...and yes, Stellan Skarsgard was in Hunt For Red October... he played the captain of the Russian attack sub that was trying to destroy the Red October. He was also in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (the remake with Daniel Craig). Some heavy subject matter, but a good movie. Rooney Mara was excellent in it (nominated for Best Actress).
Fun fact about Rooney Mara, her mother's side of the family is the same Rooney's that founded the Pittsburgh Steelers and her father's side is the Maras that founded the new York Giants.
It was Matt Damon as Will, and you've seen him before: he was in Interstellar as Mann (the astronaut who tried to hijack the ship) and he was Pvt. Ryan in Saving Private Ryan.
Casey Affleck (Morgan) was also in Interstellar as Matthew McConaughey's adult son and Murph's brother.
Now that you've been introduced to Matt Damon, you need to watch The Martian. And, of course, the Bourne movies!! --- Oh man, do you have some good stuff coming your way!
Someone may want to send him a seatbelt...so much shaky cam he is liable to fall out of his chair.
Three other Robin William films you should watch are Patch Adams which is based on a true story, The World According to Garp, and Good Morning Vietnam. All three are great films.
He already did watch GMV it's posted in the description
@@cathleenwarner1778 Ok, all he has to do is watch the others.
How could someone abuse a child?
The cute way to say it is: "Hurt people hurt people."
One much clearer way to say it is "People who've been hurt sometimes hurt others."
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon wrote this movie. Robin Williams won the Oscar for best supporting actor, Ben and Matt win for writing the screenplay
Matt Damon has been in a lot of different type of roles. Mostly action/adventure though. However, he is a multi-faceted character, with capabilities much like Robin Williams to do both drama and comedy.
And he's a water conservation activist in less fortunate parts of the world. The man is truly special.
Matt is the blonde guy and he has been in so many movies including The Martian, The Departed, Jason Bourne, Talented Mr. Ripley, the Informant, Oceans 11, Dogma, Ford vs Ferrari, and Beyond the Candelabra
Ben is the friend and he is a really great director and actor. He was in one of the Batmans, Gone Girl, Pearl Harbor, Hollywoodland, Armageddon- and he directed The Town, Gone Baby Gone, and Argo which I think won Best Picture. I definitely recommend Argo
Next you need to see him in “The Bird Cage”
OMG!! The oh, so many times I've watched this movie and I never noticed the binoculars! Great catch!
Thanks for watching!
❤ Great reaction, as always!
Thanks for watching
The hunt for Good will its an Intentional PUN. Its not about money, work, the right psychological treatment, its about following your heart, its about being a genius and even then, following your heart, its about being a mathematician genius and yet following your heart, it matters not in which class it can get your, your wit, books or special tallent, none compare with your heart. Almost NO ONE understands this about this movie..
Robin's character leaves his field also Will does.. its ALL ABOUT A GOOD WILL HUNTING.
they - the characters are a mere reflection of that purpose.
Follow your HEARTS PEOPLE
Good Morning Viet Nam is another wonderful Robin Williams movie and it has both his comedic side and his serious side. An Btw this screenplay was written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck and it never would have been made if Robin Williams hadn't agreed to be in the movie, Damon has said in interviews that they had no backing for the movie until Robin stepped up and agreed to be in it. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were nobodies and this movie made them.
Still blows me away that Matt and Ben actually WROTE this movie. They were both barely 20 at the time.
Very well done
I loved your reaction to this amazing movie. Between your laugh and your tears, I appreciated your very sincere emotions. New sub ☺️
Wow, thank you!
What an amazing movie! Everyone looking in the Mirror🪞& facing the hard truths about they’re lives, they’re horrible pain, & they’re past traumas!Then supporting each other thru the healing process, which is different for each of us❤️🩹! I’m still struggling from past traumas & trying to get thru a minute at a time! I’m not feeling Awesome!Boy I sure do miss Robin Williams
RIP 🤍🕊️
Their buddy Billy is Rip from Yellowstone. Everyone seems to miss that.
WHAT???? NO WAY!!!
Yep. Lolol
@@AwesomeUSMovies. Also he and Ben are in another fantastic movie with a huge cast called Dazed and Confused. It’s about growing up in the 70’s. It has an amazing sound track also. I think you will like it
The girl with the accent is Minnie Driver she's from a very posh part of London.
This is a wonderful movie. Robin Williams is such a favorite of mine.
You should really watch The World According to Garp. Early Robin Williams and the first time I ever saw him play a dramatic roll and it just blew me away.
Great reaction.
Love that movie. One of my favorites.❤
Matt Damon played Will Hunting and Ben Affleck played his friend, Chuckie. Damon and Affleck also won an Oscar for best original screenplay for the movie (and Robin Williams won best supporting actor). You saw Matt Damon in "Saving Private Ryan" (he was Pvt. Ryan), and "Interstellar" (Dr. Mann). You also saw Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam. For more of Ben Affleck, I would recommend "The Accountant" and "Argo". For more Matt Damon I suggest "The Martian", "Invictus", and the "The Borne Identity" (the Bourne trilogy).
My takeaway from this was the truth that we're all broken. It's all about how we can help ourselves put as many pieces back together best we can. And forgive everyone else's brokenness.
Very well said
One Hour Photo is an underrated Robin Williams movie..
I LOVE Robin Williams, a comedic genius who does serious roles better than most. Try out Patch Adams sometimes.
If you liked Matt Damon in this movie, I recommend The Talented Mr. Ridley. The acting in it superb.
I meant to type Ripley. It was auto-correct.
It's also worth remembering that some abusers also suffered serious abuse growing up. Thankfully sometimes the cycle is broken, like with Will.
Very thankful for the that
Great reaction, you should watch "The Fisher King " one of Robin Williams best roles.
One of the best films out there IMO.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won a Oscar for this..They wrote this.. first time writers.. check out Matt in The Martian..Ford versus Ferrari...Ben is in a lot of things..The Accountant is good.
Thank you so much for what you said at the end of this video. I needed to hear that today.
You are so welcome
You're correct, James - it is Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård that you were thinking of from The Hunt for Red October (he was Captain Tupolev in that one, and Professor Lambeau in this one). I believe that "Skarsh-gord," emphasis on the first syllable, is the correct pronunciation of his name.
Cool, well I got that right at least
@@AwesomeUSMovies Other interesting trivia: Matt Damon (Will) and Ben Affleck (Chuckie) were childhood friends and grew up in Boston. They co-wrote the script and won an Oscar for it...and the award was presented by Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau!
Another great Robin Williams movie is patch Adam's!!!! 😢😢😢
Ben Affleck (Chuckie Sullivan) and Casey Affleck (Morgan O'Mally) are real brothers.
You would absolutely love Patch Adams!!! One of Robin Williams greatest movies ❤❤
