Today my wife and I were shocked to find out that Robin Williams had passed. I don't want to focus on how he died or his death, but rather the entertainment and laughs he brought to us. Are there any movies you liked that he has done?

I liked all of his standup specials. I like Mork and Mindy, Miss Doubtfire, Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poet's Society, and so many more. To this day, I'm still not sure what to think of One Hour Photo.

He gave me so many laughs in my lifetime that I'm going to miss not seeing him in anything anymore (well, he will be in Night at the Museum 3 this year thankfully).

This guy is super cool. He named his daughter Zelda.

He was hilarious in Aladdin.

Dead Poets' Society has always been my favourite movie of all. He will be missed...

Whoever names their daughter Zelda should be immortalized within a gaming community, so thanks for bringing up the topic.

My wife and I made a minute of silence, not on purpose. We were just shocked when it showed up on the news and it took us a while to figure out what to say. Just last night we watched Night at the Museum and played Zelda: ALTTP...

I loved One Hour Photo. To me that was the movie that set him apart. Up to that point, I felt like he was just a comedian, but that movie made me realize he was also an actor. That being said, there was probably a lot more to that movie in retrospect...

Nanoo nanoo.

I've never met him, but something about him passing made me actually want to cry. Been fighting back the urge to cry the past two days now. Just feels like finding out a distant family member has just passed (at least for me). May just be that I've grown up on his movies my entire life to where I feel like I know him because of him being the kind of actor that picked roles that were close to how he was in real life (or at least how I thought he was). He was a great actor and comedian, got to thinking about him again and Jack popped into my head. The movie where he played the child who aged faster than anyone else and had the mind of like a 9 year old but looked 40. His movies were always so great that I kind of wish they would just release a massive Robin Williams box set of all his remastered stand ups and movies (I'd pay to get that in a heartbeat).

Part of me keeps wishing some PR would come out and say that it was some poorly thought out PR campaign for a movie that the family had no idea about and that he is alive and well. Think I'm still in shock over him passing :(.

I know what you mean, BHXSpecter, it does feel like we've lost a family member.

When I found out, I almost cried too, because I've grown up watching his movies as they've come out (well, a good chunk of the later work he did). My favorites are Hook, Dead Poet's Society, Patch Adams, Jumanji... oh hell, they're all good, even Flubber!

He will be sorely missed. :(

At 46 I have seen most of the public figures I knew as a kid pass, but none has really caused me grief like Williams. It wasn't just the roles he played, but the man he was in the social and political spheres as well. I really admired and appreciated him.

I'll admit that I feel defensive for him as I watch so many corporate and non-profit agenda's try to play his loss as a tool for their own good: suicide hotlines, depression clinics, Parkinson's researchers... to me it is as if they are somehow debasing his choice to exit by saying it was wrong or could have been "cured."

Bah. He was a brilliand man who gave a great deal to us, and there really is not a whole lot more to say.
