He was a parody of himself at that point.

Genie is the best role.

I never liked Patch Adams, the Mrs. loved it. Mrs. Doubtfire didn't work for me either. I didn't think much of his work in Can I do it 'til I need Glasses, Hook, Toys, The Fisher King

Liked:Moscow on the Hudson, World According to Garp, Good Morning, Vietnam, Nine Months, One Hour Photo, Good Will Hunting.

Good Will Hunting.

I was really surprised how much I enjoyed that movie. I thought it would be yet another wildly popular movie that I couldn't understand the popularity of.

I used to show parts of "Fisher King" to high school classes to teach Joseph Campbell's Hero Pattern; I'll always love that movie.

Yes, it sucked. That and Bicentennial Man too.

Hooook!

Also great in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

Scout still has a site....no, I'm serious...does MU still have a Scout site? I'm shocked.

Best Role: Dead Poets Society, followed by Good Will Hunting and Aladdin.

My wife has watched The Bird Cage at least a dozen times. Have to admit, it's not bad. But Dead Poets Society is hard to beat.

I liked his role in the film Awakenings.

The Southie in Good Will Hunting.

Other than What Dreams May come, probably one of the most serious roles he played.

To see him mentor a kid like himself was a touching performance.

Classic moments:

Aladdin, easily.

Good will hunting.

NavinRJohnson · « **Reply #18 on:** August 13, 2014, 07:21:00 AM »

Never a fan, though Mork (when I was like 12) and Mrs Doubtfire were pretty good.

CTWarrior · « **Reply #19 on:** August 13, 2014, 07:43:55 AM »

I'd say Good Will Hunting, but I'd also like to mention Moscow on the Hudson, which was the first glimpse for me that he was capable of much more than his comic persona.

ChitownSpaceForRent · « **Reply #20 on:** August 13, 2014, 09:44:39 AM »

I dunno why but I was a big fan of his in the Birdcage. Maybe because he displayed both his comedic and serious side in it.
