Has the world completely forgotten/disowned his “Being Human”? Among the best movies I’ve seen (save for the producer-imposed abruptly happy ending).
Agreed.
When he shouts out - trying to reach her: “I love you!!!!” - I always weep.
An incredible talent; a sadly lost man...
Found a snippet of the scene here (~1:30):

Everything he has done is now forever tainted by the legacy he’s left.
This was one film where you forgot Robin Williams as the funnyman.
Loved the ending.
I like RV, I think it’s a very funny movie. Only complaint is where he’s coming down the mountain on the bicycle the music should have been “Wipeout” instead of “Little GTO.”
He was great in a bit part in “Dead Again” with Kenneth Branaugh and Emma Thompson.
Williams actually taught himself to speak Russian in just a few months to do Moscow on the Hudson. It was an amazing performance.
Just learned that Williams was in the early stages of Parkinson’s Disease.
I can’t stand ranking lists.
Our opinions of what belongs in them can be as equally legitimate as the number of us is great.
My issue with Doubtfire is that it wasn't a family friendly movie. Funny, yes, but I shouldn't have to explain what foreplay means to my 9 year old.
But this was generally the problem with Williams...he delivered lots of crass humor throughout his career. He was not a wholesome guy. So true of so many Hollyweirdos trying to pass themselves off as all Americans.
A friend of mine who is a therapist suggested I watch this movie to help me deal with my first wife’s death. I cried harder than I ever had before or since.
Some friend! lol
Probably good for you, I hope.
I agree. Robin Williams, when playing a dramatic role, was when I liked him the most. The manic part of him was way too much for me to deal with. R.I.P.
A lot of humor is crass and has to be to make the point. Richard Pryor...
I love it!
