I thought about making this a poll, but there would just be way too many options.

I recently watched happy feet, in which the great Robin Williams had two roles (and don't anyone give me anything about animated character voiceovers not counting!) I also finally was able to see one of his stand-up specials, Live on Broadway. I am truly envious of anyone who was able to see Robin perform live.

So many of his films I loved. I think that is true for a great many of us. How to choose just one. Flubber, Bi-Centennial Man, Aladdin, Jumanji, RV, the list goes on and on. Father's Day, I think that might be my favorite. It's really such a hard choice.

Good Will Hunting is my favourite film with Robin Williams in it, closely followed by Dead Poets Society. My favourite Robin Williams film (as in film in which he was the star), though, has got to be Aladdin.

But he was best as Mork in Happy Days/Mork and Mindy.

I loved Jumanji as a kid, it was such an awesome movie. I also love Dead Poets Society and Good Will Hunting (only movie with Matt Damon I really liked, besides Departed).
One of these three is the one, but I can't choose which one.

Honoarable mention: What Dreams May Come. I watched that one when I was around 10 years old. It was one of the first times I was actually confronted with death in a way that made me really think about it. At least the first time I remember.

While I would say Aladdin (technically it's not his film per say) so I would have to go with Good Morning, Vietnam! I just view that film as him being in Vietnam.

Runner up would be What Dreams May Come (he display more emotional acting than comical) and Insomnia (he can be a serious actor). One last mention to Mrs. Doubtfire (I watched that film so many times), Fack, Bicentennial Man and Hook.

Easily Jumanji. RV is a nice second for me though. I just liked watching him fight the damn motorhome! XD

First and foremost for me would be The Fisher King, followed by either One Hour Photo or Insomnia.

I'm going to say Good Will Hunting. It nails a lot about life, youth, old, experience, obsession and other themes so well. You see this next generation that's pretty bright, but don't have the wisdom to go through life. Then, the older generation tries to shape the younger ones, but doesn't always succeed.

And then there's this perfect scene...

Dead Poets Society. It's also my fave movie. And not cause of Robin Willians. Hell, I didn't even know he was in the movie till he died. I suck... x.x

Well, since it's favorite Robin Williams movie rather than best, I'm first going to go with Aladdin, for reasons already stated. Next up would be Hook. Yes, I know it's flawed and all, but damned if that movie hasn't buried itself into my subconscious my whole life. Admit it: overly nineties or not, you wanted to be a Lost Boy.
