Nine OTHER Great Robin Williams Movies

As has already been iterated in a previous article here in the hallowed pages of CraveOnline, Robin Williams had – at the very least – 15 indispensable films in his varied career. But here’s the extraordinary thing about Robin Williams: he worked at all times, at all levels, churning out great work in obscurities alongside his usual A-list output. Not one to cleave to triple-A productions, or even a specific kind of comedy, Williams worked with whatever material he felt the most comfortable with, often challenging himself in smaller productions, working with interesting directors, and expanding as a performer. His career was so frantic and so diverse, one can breezily populate an entire list consisting of Williams’ other performances; the ones that are very good, but may not be mentioned with the same frequency as, say, Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire, or One Hour Photo.
