Robin Williams? Seriously?

[x1onexwo1fx]

part 3 of "best serious movie by a comedic actor" series.

i'm aware that he's been in serious roles not listed here, but to narrow it down, the criteria for this poll was that the movie had to have at least a rating of 7.0 on IMDb.

[Parabola1124]

Good Will Hunting, easily.

[xjulianx89]

Dead Poets Society. Awakenings is so under-appreciated, though I think Robert De Niro's performance outshines Robin Williams'.

agreed on all points.

[x1onexwo1fx]

Good Will Hunting, easily.

i actually hesitated a bit trying to decide between this and dead poets society. i feel like matt damon sort of steals it, so i went with the latter.

One Hour Photo is creeptastic

[hitormiss92]

Dead Poet Society...
Thank you for playing!

[TheZeroKid]

Hm...I see no What Dreams May Come.

i wanted to narrow down the choices a bit, so the criteria used for this poll was that the movies had to have at least a rating of a 7.0 on imdb. what dreams may come got 6.6.

a shame. love that movie, but i understand why it didn't make it.

i'm not a fan of any of these movies/haven't seen them, so i'm not gonna vote. good choice on actor though.

[ImTheSheriff]

i went with good will hunting but one hour photo is really creepy.

[SincerelyMe281]

Hook!

[xsinkshipsx]

one word: fluber

[x1onexwo1fx]

Hook!

one word: fluber

i already explained earlier in this thread that this is about his serious roles in movies that have at least a 7.0 rating on imdb. sorry to burst your bubble.

you spelled flubber wrong, by the way.

[Theseventhson]

Close between Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society, I went with the latter.

[jackie.chelle]

flubber <3

[x1onexwo1fx]

flubber <3

this is about his serious roles.

[Hay]

I'm not going to lie and say I've seen any of those movies except Dead Poets Society. So i voted for Dead Poets Society.

[Nick Hull]

Good Will Hunting. fantastic film.

[uglystar03]

Good Will Hunting, no doubt.

[voncorn]

Rv

[sasalukac]

if you didn't vote for Dead Poets Society, you didn't see Dead Poets Society

[x1onexwo1fx]

Rv

you can't be serious.

[sleepyseanzzz]

dead poets society, hands down.

[sleepyseanzzz]

this is about his serious roles.

flubber was very serious. remember when the robot died when shooter mcgavin's henchman hit her with a baseball bat?

[showyourteeth]

true
that was a very powerful moment

[x1onexwo1fx]

well, the other criteria was the 7.0 rating on imdb...

[lonelysuperstar]

Dead Poets for me. Stoked that you made a poll from my suggestion!

[Poe-tryGirl]

Dead Poe-ts

[MilesToGo]

Easily Dead Poets Society. That movie is fantastic.

[tonyC4L]

Dead Poets Society. I haven't seen GWH though and people tell me it's good, so that could change.

[spunkmastaflex]

Hook!

i was just about to write that. its not very serious, but its easily his best work and i actually havent seen any of the serious movies (except i think i saw good will hunting on an airplane, but that doesnt really count)

i didnt vote

[Tristan Needler]

I haven't seen all of them. He was creepy as hell in One Hour Photo though. Jack was pretty amazing as well. I'm surprised Patch Adams wasn't here. Is that considered a comedy?

[voncorn]

Jumanji

[Tyler Vagyler]

none of the above.

Patch Adams

[tonighttonight0]

Good Will Hunting

[SuNDaYSTaR]

Good Will Hunting. Seriously.

[Brand-new-123]

I liked August Rush the most out of those.

[sweepthenation]

I mean, he was serious in jumanji....

[jahh]

One Hour Photo is creeptastic
agreed.

[jahh]

You mean you liked the movie or Robin Williams' performance most? Cuz the poll isn't necessarily which movie you liked most.

[Brand-new-123]

That's the way I read it. It says "The Best Serious Movie by a Comedic Actor" in the first post. It doesn't ask for the best performance, but the best movie.

[murrich]

The Fisher King, it's brilliant.

[MyNameIsRoss]

came here to say Flubber

[x1onexwo1fx]

came here to say Flubber

seriously?

so did quite a few people, haha.

[MyNameIsRoss]

yes. why I said came here to say. acknowIedging I wasn't the first...

[radxbandit]

GWH followed closely by Insomnia.

Good Morning Vietnam is also up there, though. It's funny, but kind of serious, ultimately...I wonder why it's not on here.

[threepunchjim]

votes other than dead poets society should be rejected.

[x1onexwo1fx]

I wonder why it's not on here.

i think the OP mentioned something about only taking movies that got at least a 7.0 rating on IMDb.

[Neo Cassady]

Good to see Dead Poets and Good Will Hunting are destroying this thread.

[radxbandit]

i think the OP mentioned something about only taking movies that got at least a 7.0 rating on IMDb.

7.2!

[SanePsychotic]

Dead Poets Society, but I love almost everything Robin Williams does so it was kind of hard for me to choose.

[x1onexwo1fx]

7.2!

i don't know, maybe i missed something. but i honestly don't think it'd have as many votes as dps or gwh. sorry.

[your a sheep]

I hate him.

[radxbandit]

i don't know, maybe i missed something. but i honestly don't think it'd have as many votes as dps or gwh. sorry.

yea, doubt as many people have even seen it.


i'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't.

[x1onexwo1fx]

I hate him.

you used "your" instead of "you're" in your username. i couldn't care less about what you think.

[notoaststereo]

insomnia. great christopher nolan movie with al pacino and hillary swank.

also what dreams may come is a great robbins movie.

[Mick.]

Hook!

This.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

A lot of these are good (better than his comedy work, for sure), but I think One Hour Photo is my favorite. His performance is perfectly eerie.

[steveC]

only seen a couple of those, but i was between dead poets society and good will hunting. went with the latter. i wish that patch adams was an option, would've considered it

[EvilZeppelin]

Not a fan of his comedy but when he does serious roles I love em' and this movie was just creepy but I enjoyed it.
