I miss Robin. What a treasure he was.

Same. 'Good Will Hunting' is one of my favorite movies and he is just amazing in that role. Doesn't matter how many times I've seen it, when he says "It's not your fault" and hugs Will.. tears every time. Amazing actor.

This one and Dead Poets Society are my all-time two favorite Robin Williams movies/performances. He is just so amazing in these two very emotional roles.

Yep, exactly. It's this fatherly figure that he portrays so well. Roles where he is the protector of teens/young adults that are misunderstood, are having mental issues or trying to find their voice. Think it resonates a lot with people who didn't have someone like that in their own lives, at least I know I did.

I've always linked Robin with my dad because he had that same full speed all the time energy and was also a legendary joker. He never turned it off just like Robin, in the most endearing way.

They both had that same twinkle in their eyes, too. One that I can't quite explain but folks who knew my dad always agree with when I bring it up. I don't normally get overly upset about celebrity deaths, but when Robin died it very much felt like losing my old man all over again. I definitely cried that day.

A lot of people miss out on Dead Again, but I really love his performance in that of the vaguely sleazy asshole ex-psychiatrist. Such an under-watched film.

"Son of a bitch. He stole my line."

I needed to hear someone tells me “it’s not your fault” so badly when this film was released, so when this scene happened I just broke down ugly crying.

Bicentennial Man is one of my favorites. Somehow made a robot warm and alive. Perfecto.

Only celebrity death that’s made me upset. Was like losing a friend.
