Meet Patch Adams (Academy Award® winner, Robin Williams), a doctor who doesn't look, act or think like any doctor you've met before. For Patch, humor is the best medicine, and he's willing to do just about anything to make his patients laugh - even if it means risking his own career. Based on a true story, Patch Adams combines sidesplitting humor with an inspiring story that transcends the traditional comedy.

You know the movie is good when u come back to this scene decades later and you still cry.

They definitely don't make movies like this anymore. '90s movies like this had a lot of heart as well as Robin Williams himself and the characters he played! R.I.P.

[@derrickgentryhumbleblessed8772]

Very true which someone is going to have to open there eyes to doing again🙏🏾💯

[@Cramhead43]

SPREAD THE GOOD ideas and message forward. Sorry for caps, but nostalgia can be good for binging as well as bringing excellent ideas and strategums forward into the modern world. 1:01

[@martykeaton182]

Depends on how you look at something. In other words, there're many further stories since this I've seen with that, like Cast Away, John Q., and so on.

[@muhammadzaki3405]

You are absolutely right 😢!!

[@Janillo2782]

indeed! Movies with such great messages regarding human values, although if I was the producerof the film or the person assinged to make the script, I would have made some changes. But still, there are great values such as love, kindness, devotion, generosity, compassion and empathy.

[@SilentLinx]

EVERY nurse and doctor learning should be made to watch this 3 times during their schooling .......!!!!!!!!!

[@mortenroad09]

Robin Williams was hell of a Doctor. R.I.P my friend.

[@tfre3927]

It's not hard to see a part of Robin so prominantly shown in this role. We are all gifted with a spark of madness - don't lose it.

[@CountryLifestyle2023]

He has made some of thee most touching movies ever. There will never be another like him.

[@davidhutchinson5233]

The beautiful thing is, the real Patch Adams is still doing great things.

[@Janillo2782]

He is doing a great apostleship!!!! He is a saint in real life!!!! May he ascend gloriously to Heaven!

[@CountryLifestyle2023]

​@Janillo2782 no need to preach...

[@darienmunden3776]

​​@@Janillo2782 As a Christian it kills me to say this, but the real Dr. Patch Adams is no believer in God. He, himself, has said more than once that he has never given a thought to God in his entire life. Please pray for him. He is one of the righteous among the nations and such a man who treasures his fellow man so deeply and completely should not go to hell for lack of faith in God. Pray for this righteous man's conversion and acceptance of our Lord Jesus Christ!

@@darienmunden3776 WOW, this is truly very hard to believe! What a contradictory statement! Thank you for the information.

[@hellowhat890]

It's his reaction at the end that hits me in the feels. When he sees all of them coming to be there for him and the cheerful "thank you." His happiness, his laughter and pure joy in his expression. He will be missed.

[@gabethedinosaur95]

Patch Adams is one of the greatest universal movies ever . Robin Williams was the perfect man to play a good doctor . Thank you Robin Williams

[@SAMOANS88]

Patch Adams had a definite point as to how some Doctors' "WANT" to be revered. I worked as a cashier in a grocery store years ago and a customer came through my line and handed me his check. I noticed it said Dr. so and so on it. When the transaction was over and I handed him his receipt, I said thank you Mr. so and so. This gentleman interrupted and corrected me, and said, That's Dr. so and so. I told him, when I'm in your office, I'll refer to you as Dr.! Outside of your office, you're just another customer, have a great day Mr. so and so.

[@Dimmsy]

I miss this kind of movie. Full of heart and passion in acting, it really makes you cry and learn at the same time.

[@viqarkagzi3922]

Robin Williams was brilliant and gave one of his best performances & and his meticulous speeches of his time. He is right about nursing staff you can & will learn allot from them.

[@imjelo]

Is it just me who cried because the scene from 5:43 to 6:33?! I have seen this movie a couple of times but that scene *always* makes me cry.

[@muhammadawais5515]

[@JoaoCarvalho-ol7mt]

The Robin Williams's "Thank you" will be, forever the most truthful thank you of the history of cinema

[@animequeendrawer]

I think Doctors/nurses or caretakers and givers NEED to see this first! Before they get brainwashed into losing the ability to listen and remember every person is a person. Who suffer the same fears, inability, inactions, or problems that don’t know how to voice or say is that wrong or I don’t have money I’m just scared and tired of people saying I have a problem. I don’t take issue with doctors but sometimes I feel that yes they hear, but they feel that listening requires a price tag at the end. I know you have to make a living but being rewarded isn’t always money related. I feel that if you go to work, look at people in the eyes and hear them say with a smile or laughter thank you for helping me get through this, it is enough for me to go to work again and going home knowing I made someone better or happy.

[@kellystraveltips]

My fav movie! Just can’t believe the real patch adams wasn’t compensated for this movie nor was his permission asked to produce a movie about his story! When I was in nursing school we had the pleasure to meet the real patch adams. Amazing guy!

[@viqarkagzi3922]

This movie brings allot personal information of life. Robin teaches us that, of how to learn & adapt to life.

[@OnceShy_TwiceBitten]

He was compensated... Fees from the 1998 movie "made it possible to build three beautiful buildings. The real Patch Adams appears in the scene where the medical school staff returns with the verdict. Quit talking out your ass. He was in the fucking movie lol

[@peacefulguy4145]

So good, even when he acted, you could feel his true self

[@scootzmcshootz5223]

Robin may not have known this at the time, but his acting, and his choices in roles, were like the very thing THIS character of his was talking about in this scene... He was a person that brought out the best in some of us when we might have thought it was impossible to feel that way ever again. He showed us how to be human, how to feel, how to communicate, how to BE when no one else would. Mr Williams, in spite of all the negativity you were dealing with in your life, I can't imagine that I'm the only one who would say that I'm glad I was able to see, hear, and feel your stories. We miss you Dr. Williams.

[@marduk1900]

You can laugh with him and you can cry with him. Still one of the greatest of all time. It's an honour to watch him in movies like that.

[@frogdogink4415]

There will never be another Robin Williams. I am grateful for being a witness to his life. ❤

[@markboucher1549]

Still remains one of the best movies i can think very deeply about life itself.What a great actor and excellent film.R.I.P Robin Williams.

Its soo sad that robin passed he truly was the greatest comedian of all time amd one of the truly best actors of all time....

[@shineykurian2537]

This is the best speech in modern film and cinema, I have ever heard. Thank you Robin Williams. Al Pacino's final speech in Scent of a Woman, and Mel Gibson in Braveheart would be second and third. I often watch this speech 1-15 times/ year, every year. Thank you Robin Williams. Thank you for your talent, empathy, compassion and understanding for others. You truly did fit this role. From Alberta, Canada-Thank you.

[@reeldriver]

...for there to be another person like him, Robin Williams must be born again. I don't think he acted, he was just him in the movies, always from the heart. No difference between real life interviews to films. Pay close attention. They paid him to be him.

The director of this movie is not only from my hometown, but he went to the same school as my sisters. In fact, I know THREE of his childhood friends! Nobody will believe how!

Even though it took some notable liberties with Patch's real story, I love most of "Patch Adams". This scene alone is one of the best in Robin's career, and I think Siskel and Ebert were both greatly wrong to condemn the movie.

If only this was how doctors were taught to treat patients and that the old boys club excepted doctors from all walks off life our health systems wouldn't be flawed and empty compared to the amount of paitents they have to deal with (we all know goverments etc like to spend money on war and other things rather than the important things) Thanks Robin for being such an awesome person
