My favorite Robin Williams movie was perhaps the least known...

1. That was a good one!

Oh man, that was so scary and sad.

[joeglow3]

2. I wanted to see that, but who I talked to trashed it

I should check timeout.

[zappaman]

3. Love that movie!

And he was amazing in it!

[Agschmid]

4. It was a good thriller!

Not his usual genre.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

5. excellent. against type. some of his best work was yet to come, I think.

6. L. O'Donnell played a clip from that movie early in his show this evening.

I'm not a big "movie guy" by any stretch of the imagination, but I feel compelled to search that one out, just based on the couple of minutes that were shown.

7. Robin Williams

I also watched that clip. I agree Robin's acting was compelling!!! Robin Williams will be so missed.

13. Excellent! nt

14. I saw that one

He did a great job of bringing the creepiness of the character to life.

15. I don't think it was his least known....

....I think a lot of folks avoided it because he wasn't being the clown. But it was a good flick.

He was also in a movie called Insomnia with Al Pacino, which I think less people know about.

[Blanks]

16. I remember that. He was creepy and scary.

He was in a movie 'Final Cut' that was kind of interesting, but unknown.

Kind of a dystopic future film.

17. it was weird

[RobinA]

18. I Noticed

that most (not all) of the movies mentioned as his "best" were him being doing his manic thing. I found his silent menace stuff to be very compelling. Anthony Hopkins doing what's his name in Silence of the Lambs (which, frankly, I found somewhat ridiculous) had NOTHING on Williams when he decided to be quiet.

Mork to photo lab guy - now that was range.

[Chathamization]

19. He had a nice creepy role in Dead Again (which was a pretty decent movie)

I can't find more than a 5 second clip of him in that movie on the web. He's in a couple parts of the trailer though:

[justiceischeap]

20. One of my all-time favorite movies

I also liked Insomnia. The reason I really liked World According to Garp was because it wasn't his usual "manic" style.

21. I have to say, I always loved "Moscow on the Hudson".

22. Somehow I knew it'd be that one when I read the subject line.

A very disturbing and excellent film.
