What are great serious movies with a comedian as lead? The first one that jumps into my mind is Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

[@d.w.strangeman4963]

@VerowakReacts I leave a comment on this film all the time. I worked with Robin Williams on a film and when people say "never meet your hero, they'll always let you down" doesn't apply to him... He was such a gentleman and great person. You should watch 'Midnight Caller', 'Insomnia' or 'One Hour Photo' to see him play very different from most films he's cast in. Loved the reaction, by the way

[@stevesheroan4131]

@@TerryNationB7Ironically, I think Jim Carrey playing a comedian (Andy Kaufman) in Man on the Moon is probably his most serious and arguably best work. I couldn’t stand Andy Kaufman and therefore didn’t like the movie that much, but Jim Carrey was astonishing in the role IMO. Worth the watch just for his performance.

The line: “Most days I wish I never met you because then I could sleep at night, and I wouldn't have to walk around with the knowledge there was someone like you out there….and I didn’t have to watch them throw it all away.” hits so hard right in the gut. Especially the delivery of the “And I didn’t have to watch you throw it all away” part. Stellan Skarsgard is at his very best in this movie.

[@Lina_unchained]

The two speeches by Sean and Chucky are amazing my friend :)

[@VerowakReacts]

They absolutely are!

[@80smoviesfan]

The lines in the scene when Sean talks about his late wife's farting antics were ad-libbed by Robin Williams. That is why Matt Damon was laughing so hard. If you watch the scene carefully, you can notice the camera shaking a bit, possibly due to the cameraman laughing as well. Other great Robin Williams movies are. Dead Poets Society Good Morning Vietnam Patch Adams Hook Mrs. Doubtfire Jumanji.

I notice a lot of people have already mentioned other great movies featuring Robin Williams. I see many have already mentioned "Dead Poets Society" as another great dramatic role of his, but I'd also like to throw "Good Morning, Vietnam" into the mix. It's the movie that really established him as a great dramatic actor, rather than just focusing on his comedic chops.

Matt Damon, Minnie Driver, Stellan Skarsgård and Robin Williams gave one of the best ensemble performances ever. Any of them could have won an Academy Award. The Unabomber scene may be my favorite.

Others have mentioned Dead Poet Society and Fisher King, but I'd like to add Good Morning, Vietnam. Robin at his best.

[@adnap]

Something interesting about Stellan Skarsgård: Three of his kids all went on to be incredibly notable famous actors. While the rest of his children are still successful in their own right, Bill is known for John Wick, The Divergent and as The Sinister Pennywise in IT. Gustaf for his work in The Way Back, AIR and Oppenheimer. And Alexander you might know as True Blood character Eric Northman, who would also star in the film, The Northman. (Yes, there is a connection there) But yeah, I was quite blown away at the impressive legacy of the Skarsgård family.

One of the best movies ever made in my opinion. I wish they had made a sequel. It would have been nice to have seen Will in a new city, impressing everyone with his massive brain, while slowly swimming deeper into the romance with Minnie Driver.

[@VerowakReacts]

Every single actor in the movie was superb. The whole team did amazing

[@marsalien4]

Something's that not always talked about (there's a lot of great stuff to discuss so I get it!) but I love Gerry and Sean's non-apology at the end. It's a great show of real friendship; like, the entire movie they are at odds but both in their own way care about Will. Once they've both done right by Will, they're able to mend decades of fighting with six words, none of which includes actual "I'm sorry"s lol

[@nickperkins8477]

In my opinion, the very best dramatic acting I have seen from Robin Williams is The Fisher King. The film co-stars Jeff Bridges, and I think they were both nominated for Oscars.

[@DaleKingProfile]

Not Oscars. They were both nominated for Golden Globes which Williams won. Mercedes Ruehl was the Oscar winner from the film.

[@TenTonNuke]

This movie should be used as a Litmus test to determine if a person is a sociopath. Whoever doesn't cry should be locked away from the rest of society because they obviously have no empathy for human beings.

[@woverby1963]

I was a teenager when Mork and Mindy came out and i was an instant Robin Williams fan, i thought he was the funniest guy i had ever seen, so entertaining. When i saw this movie its the first time i ever saw him in a non comedic role and it blew my mind. He is very expressive as you say , a bonafide actor of great talent beside just a funny guy. He is one of a very few celebrities whos passing i really felt. Enjoyed watching your reaction! After all that i had to stop and remember that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck wrote all of this. I didnt know that for a long time, that also blew my mind. This movie is just so good all around.

[@jmo3457]

I can’t remember the specific episodes or moments in Mork & Mindy but I remember he could be so emotionally impactful when they tackled serious topics. Even back then he could transition so smoothly from comedy to drama in such a natural manner even while dressed in a red jumpsuit and silver boots doing his report to Orson. A gifted man.

[@Fett411]

Always liked at the end when they gave him the car. They noted it didnt look like much on the outside but it had a good engine, they could be talking about Damons character with that description

[@jimrobinson9979]

Robin Williams gave what I thought was an extremely disturbing and memorable performance in One Hour Photo (2002). You might also like his performance in Moscow on the Hudson (1984). I'm of an age where I regularly saw Williams on television's Mork & Mindy when I was a child, and so I always had him (incorrectly) filed away in my head as just "that guy who does zany comedy," which I have never appreciated. So it was eye opening to see him here in Good Will Hunting and it made me go look at other dramatic roles that he played.

[@VerowakReacts]

There are a lot of comedians that do so incredibly well in dramatic roles. Robin Williams was definitely one of them 🥰

Another fantastic dramatic performance from Robin Williams is in the movie What Dreams May Come, co-starring Annabella Sciorra (The Hand That Rocks The Cradle) and Cuba Gooding, Jr.

[@EgbertWilliams]

There's a clip floating around of a short video call that Robin Williams made to a dying woman in New Zealand. It was meant to be private. The family released it later, after Williams's death, I think. It's just Robin touching base with the woman, who had always wanted to meet him. The thing is that there is so much tiredness and pain in Williams's eyes, that you can tell he's going through a hard time himself, but he's pulled himself together and made this effort for this woman across the world that no one else was ever supposed to know about. He wasn't throwing himself in front of a train for someone, but it was still such a clear act of selfless love that it feels almost like you shouldn't be watching. He seemed like a genuinely kind man.

Some lines that they kept like "Tell me what you really think" and the last line in the movie which he was suppose to say "good luck kid" but Robin changed it to "the kid stole my line" Matt Damon And Ben Afleck were so impressed with how better he made the script they kept all of his "additions" while filming.

Such a remarkably well written film by Damon and Affleck - their Oscar was well-deserved. And at a such a young age. Really their best work. Damon’s performance here as well as in some of his other early stuff like Courage Under Fire shows his true acting chops much more than his later mostly popcorn flick work. Much the same can be said for Affleck. Williams was made to play this role and again a well deserved Oscar here. If you want more of him: “Awakenings” with DeNiro; and “Good Morning Vietnam.” Just now realizing Rip from Yellowstone (Cole Hauser) is in this as Billy.

Definitely worth checking out more Robin Williams entries. His range in dramas like these are incredibly noteworthy as he was more known for comedic roles. Insomnia directed by Christopher Nolan showed he can play a sinister character, One Hour Photo is another; albeit disturbed as opposed to competently evil. Devastated when he suddenly passed, although very pleased he won an Oscar for Good Will Hunting.

You JUST HAVE to watch Robin Williams in "What Dreams May Come." I saw it in theatre 9 times. He delivers one of his best and most tragic performances of his whole career!

[@Regionzen]

Great reaction. This is such an amazing movie. To answer your question at the end, the movie "The Fisher King" is exactly what you are looking for. Robin Williams shining in a dramatic role. And "Dead Poets Society" obviously as well if you haven't seen that one. :)

[@VerowakReacts]

Thank you! This is my first Robin Williams movie and it seems like there are a lot more for me to catch up on :D

Will Hunting is an INTP-T, one of the 16 MBTI personalities. Sean is an INFP, Chuckie is an ESTP, and Prof Lambeau is an ENTJ.

Love your reaction, this is one of the best movies ever, covers so much, from wincing, to laughing to crying and Robin Williams was the best part of it. Matt Damon's crying scene just blew me away. Keep up the great content and stay safe.

All the actors were absolutely fantastic in this movie

Today it is so easy for others to find this movie. It is always near the too of whatever list you search. I semi-randomly picked this movie one evening while stuck in northern Atlanta for a class or convention. My first name being Bill which like Will is a nickname for William influenced my decision a little. But I knew nothing other than the title when I picked it out of the 10 or 12 showing near my hotel. I have seen it enough to quote most lines from memory.

It's great when we find those movies that have so much rewatchability

The story about his wife farting was improvised by Robin, Matt's laughing was genuine and if you look closely you can see the camera operator shaking too. Robin also improvised the very last line of the movie. Scary when you realise that Matt & Ben wrote this classic when they were only 22 and when his performance was recognised by the Academy, Robin referenced their age during his acceptance words. The whole speech is one of the best Oscar moments ever, you can feel the love in the room for Robin, especially from the host Billy Crystal, his old friend from the very early days of trying to make it in showbiz. It wasn't polite applause from his peers - it was genuine love for a man who had brought so much joy & laughter but was also capable of touching performances like this. Wonderful. The award and speech are on YT, do try and watch.

Did you ever see Finding Forrester? Sean Connery plays a reclusive writer who teaches an athlete how to write. It’s the same director as Good Will Hunting

[@bmw128racer]

V, another Robin Williams film definitely worth watching is "Awakenings" with Robert De Niro.

[@VerowakReacts]

Thanks B, that's a new one, I haven't heard of it before today

[@bmw128racer]

@@VerowakReacts It's directed by Penny Marshall and was nominated for many awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor (De Niro).

[@mesrobvartavarian2914]

Try Dead Poets Society. A more tragic film but Robin’s next best performance after Good Will Hunting

[@parkamark]

The scene where he talks about his wife farting was improvised. It was so random, it even caught the camera man off guard, which is why the camera is shaking at that point also. RW was a total genius when it came to improv, and pretty much all films he's acted in are treasures because of it.

1998 Patch Adam's with Robin Williams. True story

[@VerowakReacts]

I do like true stories!

[@nsasupporter7557]

The real Patch Adams hated that movie, did you know that?
