The Most Memorable Robin Williams Roles Up To This Point

By Bruce Hunter


This article will discuss the films and career of Robin Williams. Robin Willams got his big start on television, on the hit series Mork & Mindy from 1978 to 1982. After that, he established himself as one of the greatest comedians of his generation. He is an incredibly likable actor and has had some incredible films.

This article will take a look at some of the best Robin Williams films in his career.

Before Big Momma's House and before John Travolta decided to play a lady in the hit film Hairspray, Robin Williams had his iconic performance as the role of Mrs. Doubtfire. This is one of my favorite comedies of the 90s and a great one to watch with the family.

Another film that certainly makes the cut for me is Aladdin. Sure, this is an animated film, but it is definitely one of my favorite Disney movies of all time. Williams voices Genie, which I didn't know until recently.

One movie that has to be included on this list, and is probably my favorite of any on this list, is Good Will Hunting. This movie stars Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Minnie Driver and of course, Robin Williams. Williams won a best supporting actor Oscar for this film, as did Damon and Affleck for best original screenplay.

Another movie that I definitely have to include on this list is Dead Poet's Society. Williams stars as professor John Keating, a teacher who inspires his students to seize the day with their love of poetry. This movie also stars Ethan Hawke.

One other film that I will add to this list is Jumanji. This is one of the better children's films from the early 1990s, and is well worth showing to your kids if they have never seen it before. Night At The Museum would not exist without this movie's inspiration.

Hopefully there are one or more films from Robin Williams on this list which you have not yet seen.
