Thank you for this...he takes a couple of minutes to warm up, then LMAO!!
I've always loved Robin Williams - he's always made me smile and laugh. He's a sweetheart

Loved John Cleese at the beginning too

LEXX, I completely agree with you on the "serious" Robin Williams.

I don't care for his comedy, but I really like his disturbing roles.

I loved Goodwill Hunting

He does do an amazing job with the serious roles, doesn't he.

I've always felt the same way about Jim Carrey... don't care for his comedy, but I like his dramas.

I don't like ALL of Robin Williams serious rolls. I don't think I really cared for Jakob the Liar. One Hour Photo was ok, but forgettable for me. I like a lot of the other ones on your list LEXX. Dead Poets Society is probably my favorite amongst them.

I also enjoy old Mork and Mindy. It had it's charm.

For those who liked what he said about Obama, there's another one I heard somewhere that went something like this:

"They made Obama give his speech from behind bullet proof glass. I think that's harsh. Just because he's black doesn't mean he'll shoot anyone."

Me, too;
I think he's a solid dramatic actor,
but I find his comedy mostly obnoxious.

LEXX,
Did you see this one:
