You missed Adrian Cronauer from Good Morning Vietnam, or Parry in the Fisher King.

Of that lot, I'd take John Keating. Mork was fun, though.

I think that Dr. Malcolm Sayer from "Awakenings" was one of his better roles.

He was great as the Genie. Robin Williams is at his best when doing rapid-fire comedy and changing voices constantly. (something I think he does better in Aladdin than in his standup)

Awakenings was a wonderful movie, and Robin Williams can be so great without all the cocaine-induced Jonathan Winters channeling.

I think his best role is a combination of the two - I'll take Good Morning Vietnam, and from the list, I'll have Patch Adams. Funny, sad, inspiring and aggravating.

Yeah, he did a cameo on an episode of Friends with Billy Crystal, and he starts sobbing to Billy about how he thinks his wife is sleeping with her gynecologist, stating, "He's got acess!" Dirty, but oh, so funny. :rofl:

The more I think about 28 Weeks After, the more I love that movie. It was a sneaky sort of movie that distracted you with just enough action to make you think it was a straight horror movie.

But the whole thing is really psychological. It asks us to question our beliefs about family, love and morality.

Anyone else think Outbreak was lame? It was lame because it didn't have the balls to do what 28 Weeks does, and that's give us something to take with us after the movie's over.

Apparently our town is not on the ball enough to get the new Michael Moore movie.

Speaking of which...

Michael Moore - great satirist and keen-eyed film maker
or
Michael Moore - what an over-rated windbag!
?

Should I say something here?

I love Canada, but I know there are just as many stupid people there as there are here.

Just remember that Moore's films are NOT documentaries, and accuracy is not always there.

They are admittedly propaganda, but in my mind, and knowing this, I think he has a brilliance for the genre.
