That and "World According to Garp" for me....he was outstanding in "Good Will Hunting" as well, but i'm not so much a fan of that movie as others he starred in.
They always pick on The Survivors, which is one of my favorite all time comedies. Love that movie. I’m also a huge fan of Garp, which I enjoyed way more than Moscow on the Hudson and Good Morning Vietnam. But it any case, it’s not the same without him around. RIP Mr. Williams.
Robin Williams may just have made too many movies. He was so shy that had to find ways to express himself. So he compulsively worked. At least that was my perception. He made some very good films and some really bad ones.
I like the set design and the songs were pretty catchy but that is it. The rest stunk and Robin Williams could only mumble as Popeye. They should have had Jack Mercer dub him over.
I can't believe u and many others don't! The casting and production bringing Popeye (*** stars) to life couldn't have been better...try watching it again with a fresh perspective.
@@eargasm1072 I don't think cartoon characters function well when translated to the tangible world. They exist on a plane of reality that is slower and more distorted than ours. Pulling them into the real world means you either have to alter what they are or, like Altman's film, you attempt to duplicate what they do in their world. I think either choice never works.
RIP Robin Williams and Siskel & Ebert
The older I get, the more I prefer Robin Williams in dramatic roles over his comedic ones. I think his best performance was in Awakenings.

In my case, a lot of Robin Williams still to be discovered
@@eargasm1072 I think the only comic role I still like him in Good Morning Vietnam because it's effectively balanced out with drama.
Absolutely, I was not a fan of his comedy, pretty dire but his dramatic roles meant he had to reign it in.

My fav Williams performance - The Fisher King. Beautiful film.
Robin Williams, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Chris Farley, John Candy... all great comedians who were taken from us far too soon. Did I miss anyone?
Carlin wasn't really old but he hardly was taken away too soon.
Gilda Radner
John Belushi, Gilda of course, Sam Kinison and LENNY BRUCE!
Gallager
Robin Harris and Bernie Mack
Thanks for the Siskel and Ebert videos
If I’m not mistaken, the next time Robin Williams and Barry Levinson teamed up, they made the terrible Toys.
RIP Mork 🙏
I have guilty pleasure for best of times not his best but him and kurt Russell were good

So bizarre when they offered career advice
Survivors is funny!
I still can’t believe the liked Popeye

And they were just about the only critics who hated him in "Dead Poets Society"!
@@disneyfan8178 Gene enjoyed the film but Roger did not.
He was so damn funny...we could use him and other classic comics more than ever in this dreary era. He was this country's Peter Sellers!
