Jumanji is one of my all-time favorite movies, very underrated. Other than that, there are a bunch of other Williams movies that I enjoyed, but nothing as memorable as Jumanji. Can't stand the improv stuff, and hated Mork.

You're right. I forgot about that one. I think the main reason his acting annoys me is that his personality is too strong, so characters often come off as over-acted or unrealistically intense. The blue genie was supposed to be a flashy, quick-witted character so Williams' voice and mannerisms were perfect.

I didn't care for Jumanji at all.
It became very predictable, nothing but being chased by wild animals at every turn, which got old quickly.

I agree on the Mork observation.
I never got the humor in that at all!

I do enjoy his improv though.
SOme of the funniest times I've seen him was when he was a guest on Johnny Carson's show.
