As I scrolled through FaceBook this past week, I have seen everyone (including myself) pay tribute to Robin Williams. By posting quotes from him, about him, and even some negative stuff from the right wing. We lost one of kind, but I am grateful for what he has given and left everyone.
I have seen people talk about their favorite movies featuring Mr. Williams; World According to Garp, Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire, Awakenings, Dead Poet's Society,Good Morning, Vietnam, Good Will Hunting, or Jumanji were some of the more mentioned ones. I have taken the week to think about my favorites from him and have come to a couple that I think are his best in my opinion, and suggest that people take the time to re-watch (or watch).
The first film is 'The Fisher King' (short clip above). I have always liked this movie, it just resonates with me don't ask me why. Maybe because it was directed by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame and involves an Arthurian theme, and Williams won the Golden Globe for Best actor for his role in this film. This film ask garnered many awards at the Oscars that year.
The second film is 'FernGully', an animated feature (see below), in which Mr. Williams did the voice of Batty Koda, an escaped lab animal (bat), with many diatribes on the stupidity of man and what they are doing to the earth we live on. I know why I like this one.
