Not intending to invite flames, but I can't think of a single Williams movie or show (except possibly Goodwill Hunting) that I enjoyed. I guess I don't get his humor.

What is funny is when other comedians imitate him. Many do and it isn't difficult fwiw.

"Nobody has more talent than he does. Nobody."
The extremely thin line between genius and insanity.
He is talented. The problem is that whenever I have seen him, and he wasn't reading from a script, his talents have descended into dick jokes and general filth. I wish he would discipline himself more and perhaps this trip to rehab will help. I wish him well.

Could be worse. His career could have descended to the Steve Martin level.

I really enjoy his movies and appearances. I hope he gets it together soon. Alcholism and drug addiction are no joke. They make you do things you really don't want to do.

Except his mentor, Johnathan Winters. Both improv experts.

What was the name of that movie where he was a creepy drugstore employee that worked in the photo area?
To: Semper911
In the industry Robin Williams is a well known "thief" of others material, constantly using the best "bits" he has seen or heard other comics do and making them his own before millions of viewers while the originators of the material don't have the fame or opportunities that he has.
Also in the same ilk is Dennis Leary, who basically stole, word for word, body motion, voice inflection, etc. the act of the late comic Bill Hicks who died of lung cancer.
What's the link between these two? Williams and Leary were both professional actors who latched on to the comedy craze, stole others material and did it mostly better than the comics they stole from and parlayed others work into great fame.
Look it up.

I would love for him and Jim Carrey to appear in a movie together.

To me, his ham-handed humor is not funny at all.
Different jokes for different folks, I guess.
