What is your favourite Robin Williams movie? :)

I love how, instead of doing the cliché thing where Will's friends are dumb violent drunks who drag him down and are against him bettering himself, they're actually always supportive of him and push him to go for it even when he doesn't want to, and actually are happy for him when he leaves, especially Chuckie.

My favourite Robin Williams quote is “I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.”

I have seen this movie about 50 or 60 times and every time Robin Williams tells Matt Damon, "it's not your fault". It breaks me every time. ------ He keeps repeating it and my eyes fill with water even more. He says it again, and I continue to cry and sniffle. ------- The fucking scene breaks me every time. ------- I'm a grown-ass man and I turn seven every time I watch that scene. ------ Such amazing writing. Less is definitely more and has such a powerful effect.

One of my favorite things about Robin Williams is that no matter what movie he was working, he insisted that the local area homeless people be in his movies as background people, so they got paid at the end of each day they were on set. He didn't have to do that, but the saw an opportunity to use his celebrity influence to make a positive influence on other's lives. That's the right kind of human, imho.

Just remember Mary, the man who "makes you cry every time he speaks", is also best-known as a genius comedian. Such an amazing force of nature! Rest in peace Robin Williams.

This movie truly is a gem. Minnie driver’s acting in that scene where Will starts cracking it over moving with her to California certainly makes my eyes well up. Some of the best acting I’ve seen. She’s crying already and Will says about the cigarettes being put out on him when he was a kid and her heart visibly breaks even more than you thought possible. She’s so underrated.

Back in 1995 I was riding my bike towards the Golden Gate Bridge when this person came riding up behind me and asked if I would have a problem with him riding along with me for a little bit. I said I had no problem with that and we talked some while riding. After about a minute or two I was like "Damn, that guys voice sounds really familiar, but it can't be..." because he was wearing a helmet and sunglasses I wasn't sure. Then I got up the nerve and said "Mr. Williams?" and he answered "Just call me Robin." I told him that no one was going to believe me when I told them who I rode along with that day and he said something like that it wouldn't matter if anyone else believed me or not, just as long as you know it happened. One of the coolest random events to ever happen to me.

Another great movie with Robin Williams in a "school" setting is Dead Poets Society.

Robin Williams won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for this role. Though he’s known best for his incredible comedy (The Birdcage from 1996 is fantastic!), he’s also an amazing dramatic actor (Dead Poets Society from 1989). But, my favorite Robin Williams movie is Awakenings from 1990. Based on a true story, and co-starring Robert DeNiro, it’s a beautiful, often overlooked film.

When you said "He's got the saddest eyes" it brought me to tears knowing all the pain he was going through in real life. Also I love the fact this was written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, that young and to have written such a great story.

I like the movie a lot and was totally surprised when I read that matt and ben wrote the script themselves.

I worked in a restaurant with a guy from South Boston a little after this movie had come out. He said the only part about the depiction of Southie that wasn't believable is when the cops arrested Will Hunting. He said the cops would have just drove by the fight and gave them a thumbs up.

Affleck and Damon wanted to make a name for themselves instead of just being a cog in the Hollywood writers wheel. Instead of just selling it to a studio they wanted to be cast in it. They referenced what Stallone did with his Rocky script. Stallone being Rocky is the greatest example of gambling on yourself, but this is a close second.

When he tells her "i don't love you".... you can see the dagger in her heart. i feel physically ill when i see that scene because I know what it feels like to just have your guts twisted like that.

This reaction has made me realize something about you. You are one of the sweetest people on KZfaq and you have such a big heart.

This film hits me on so many levels. I have a Masters Degree with Honours that has served no purpose whatsoever in my subsequent life, although, to be fair, I didn´t want the degree and barely worked for it. I was a child prodigy whose lack of stimuli and inability to deal with it has led to unfulfilled adulthood. I suffer from a number of psychological issues, and had my first breakthrough with my first therapist when I told him about this film. The very next session, he came in and basically hit me with the final scene with Will and Sean. And then, Robin Williams. I am currently pursuing a career in acting, and Robin Williams is the reason why. When I was a child, he was the first person who I identified as being an actor, and I wanted to do what he did. I met him briefly in 2011, and was devastated when he died. I couldn´t leave my bed for several days. A couple of years ago, I finally got recognition with some industry names when, after a few years of avoiding all things Robin, I faced my fear and performed his monologue from the park bench, which I have since visited. One of the most important films of my life. This film was actually the bridge that led me opening up my movie podcast to discussing issues and offering support to any listeners who are going through things. Thank you so much for reacting to it. My favourite Robin films, as well as this obviously, are probably "What Dreams May Come", "Good Morning Vietnam" and "Awakenings".

Such a unique storyline, it's so very unique - an abused genius, traumatized and broken needs to find his deep needed healing from grief and redemption. Skylar can't save him. Sean can't save him. He has built up so many defense mechanisms that he couldn't let his guard down with his friends, scientific peers, or the woman he wanted to love. He can't be honest and transparent with anybody. Sean has to break him down and let him expose himself and fix himself from within for the real breakthrough to happen. WOAH.

Great reaction, Mary! I cried with you when Sean was talking to Will about his wife. I lived that. My wife was 23 when she died. I was 24. It's been 48 years and it still hurts. 💔

This is one of the greatest films ever written. I watch it once a year.

After seeing this movie in 1997 I returned to university to complete my graduate studies. I have been in practice as a psychotherapist since that time. Thank you for your reaction to a movie that continues to inspire me.

I love the part when Will finally breaks free from his trauma and starts crying.

Robin Williams had the purest soul and this world lost a major source of joy when he left us. This is one of my all-time favorite movies and I'm so glad you had a chance to see it.

"It's not your fault" is one of the most profound lines was spoken in a movie. What a masterpiece. Have to see this once more. R.I.P. Robin Williams.

I just love your reactions, and even though I've seen this movie countless times I got emotional again during the same scenes that made you teary :). Robin Williams is known as a comedian, but other than this one "Dead Poets Society" is my other favourite movie he's in. Cheers from Canada!

1:00 Good Morning Vietnam is a must see, "The world according to Garp" is another lesser known of his movies and a personal favourite, he's amazing in it. "The Fisher King" also, lesser known but amazing performance, also a great performance by Jeff Bridges in that one.

Another great Robin Williams movie is the Fisher King, directed by Terry Gilliam. It has some extremely dark moments but has an amazing ending.

Your reaction to this movie has got to be one of the sweetest, most adorable things I've seen in quite a while! Your face and voice are so expressive, your comments so genuine and honest. I hope you have someone there to give you a big hug after that rollercoaster. You deserve one!

A lot of people love to say Morgan Freeman can say anything and make it sound beautiful I would say the same applied to our late dear friend, Robin. We miss you. Love your reaction ;)

Robin is mostly known for comedies but he is exceptional here and this film makes me cry every time I watch it or watch someone reacting to it. A cinema near me did a screening of this for charity after Robin died and there were lots of people there. He is beloved by so many and his connection with Matt in this film was something special.

For me the world wasn't the same after Robin Williams passed. I grew up watching his movies, from Dead Poets Society, through Aladdin, Mrs Doubtfire, Hook, Flubber, Jumanji, Good Will Hunting, and so on. It felt like we all lost that funny uncle that we all loved.

Everything with Robin Williams makes me cry because he was a rare human who cared for others.

I didn't tear up the first time I watched it or subsequent times but I might have the last time I watched it. It made me miss Robin. The first film I ever remember seeing when I was a kid was hook. First actor I actually remember. Animal all the roles I've seen him play always wondered if this one in particular was the closest to him as a person. The vulnerability. The wisdom. This is something authentic about him in this role. Makes me miss him a lot.

The scene where he says "It's not your fault. It's not your fault." hit me so hard. As a survivor of child abuse it is so true...I internalized all of that and saw myself as the "bad kid" or black sheep like I must have done something to deserve it. But...sometimes $hit happens and you do nothing to incur the person's wrath.

Awakenings (with Robert DeNiro as well) and Dead Poet's Society are two of Robin Williams' best dramatic performances. Good Morning Vietnam and The Fisher King are two of Williams' best dramatic/comedic hybrid performances.

Robin Williams was not just one of the best actors ever lived, but one of the best people. He is one to remember.

Watched this with you on Patreon. Don't worry about the tears. It's normal to cry at least 4 or 5 times watching this movie. There's a reason this film won so many awards. Robin Williams' performance as he delivers that monologue to Will on the bench will forever be a shining point in cinematic history. It's beautifully written and perfectly executed. The whole film is really. So glad you got to experience this one! Thanks for a beautiful reaction Mary! If you want another movie that's peak Robin Williams, you should put Patch Adams at the top of your list. It's absolutely hilarious, but also a beautiful story that will also have you reaching for the tissues.

This is one of my favorite movie of all time. I cry every time, even though I know the movie. The actors performance are just so good especially Robin Williams and Matt Damon.

Chuckie is the kind of friend we all need to be. He knows his life will be greatly worsened by not having Will in it, but he is so full of love for his friend that he makes this huge sacrifice.

`I was an underachieving high school student when I saw this movie in the theater. Needless to say, this is my favorite movie of all time.

Robin Williams is/was an amazing actor. Funny but so many of his lines in several movies he added parts of the lines in himself, and some came out brilliant, like him.

Robin Williams was brilliant in everything but for me this was his most powerful role. Absolutely enthralling performance, nobody else could have made it this good.

Thank you for the silent and understated recognition of the great Robin Williams. So subtle and yet powerful.

Mary, those are pickled eggs on the bar. They are hard boiled, and put in a solution of water, vinegar, and salt. Bartenders put them there for customers to eat for free because they make you thirsty, and you will drink more beer.

First time I've watched one of your reactions, I was drawn in by the choice of this movie. Even watching your reactions brought me back to feeling really emotional from this movie, it is a complete masterpiece of acting and writing. Absolutely a stellar example of the late Robin Williams, even more touching now when you watch him knowing he had serious issues with depression.

This movie is a masterpiece! One of my favorite of Robin Williams is "Bicentennial Man". Another two are "Patch Adams" and "Dead Poets Society". I'm sure that other commenters will list my other favorites. I enjoyed your genuine reaction to this film. 🎥

The feeling after randomly searching for "react to good will hunting" every once in a while and seeing new uploads is just incredible :). I'm glad more people are seeing it nowadays

I don't trust anyone who can sit through that park bench scene without crying. It's one of the greatest monologues in movie history IMO.

So happy whenever I see this movie reacted to, such a powerful film. Easy favorite for me!

I am so impressed with Mary and Everyone from Europe. They learn at least two other languages from an early age. By the time they reach adult hood, we are so outmatched and in spite of that, she, and everyone like her, are filled with love and acceptance.

Yes Mary this was a brilliant movie. Your best reaction ever. This one had you tore up from beginning to end!

I watched the movie 3 times and never cried once. After watching this girl review it, I shed tears.

I am surprised Matt Damon and Ben Affleck aren't well known for writing any other movies, just this one. This one was so good, you'd think they'd have others.

This is my favorite movie. I cry every time I watch this. You are not alone!

Mary, I've lived one aspect of this movie, and I can say with complete conviction: It doesn't matter how innately good you are at something if you're not truly passionate about doing it. If you choose to do something just so you won't "waste your potential," eventually you'll learn that that potential was an illusion. Your performance will suffer as you hit the inevitable obstacles but don't have the tenacity to push through them, and your self-esteem will suffer as you wonder if maybe you were never really as good as everyone made you believe you were. My strongest advice to any high-performer: Do whatever you want to do -- NOT what you think you SHOULD do, or what your parents, family, role models, or advisors think you should do. Do what makes you excited. What makes you happy. That's the only way you'll succeed. The rest is just noise.

Still one of the BEST screenplays ever written in the last 30 years...

this movie has some of the most beautiful monologues and scenes

It was a pleasure watching this reaction with you and no matter how many times I watch this magnificent film, it still gets to me.

Marij you must must must-see, "The Bourne Identity," ------ I think your text movie scroll at the start of the reaction covers a ton of Robin Williams movies. -------- He's a next-level talent for sure. Happy Hunting.

Robin Williams is so underated so fking underated like Hollywood doesn't deserve a phenomenal genius like him !

11:40 is one of the best dialogs in movie history. Robin Williams earned his Oscar win here.

One of the many bests that Robin Williams starred in I will call the best. "What Dreams May Come". Your heart will never feel the same.

I'll open myself and share why movie was so special for me. I see myself in will. I don't have a photographic memory. I've a identic (mispelled) memory. Bad keyboard makes up words. I don't memorize everything I see. I remember details. I was an honor student in school. Being really smart is a dual edge sword. Yes can be brilliant. Yet it's so much harder to connect when you're different.

One of the best movies ever made, and I love that you loved it. A beautiful reaction.

Now you know why Robin Williams won an Oscar for this role. Truth be told, I love every movie I have seen him in.

Another amazing Robin Williams movie is Awakenings, which is based on a true story, and co-stars Robert De Niro. Either that or Dead Poet's Society are my favorite Robin Williams movies.

That bit with Robin Williams on the park bench ... and that's a performer known for being one of the best comedians ever. What a powerhouse he was.

this being one of your first Robin Williams films is insane. nothing of his that you watch after this will come close, i imagine.

Good Will Hunting and Dead Poet's Society are two of my favourite dramas and both include Robin Williams!

The eggs on the counter are hard-boiled and pickled (they're in a brine, not plain water) for flavor and for preservation. It makes them "shelf stable" (no refrigeration required.) Some people really like pickled eggs.

Love your reaction!! This is one of the best movies of the 90s. I love how you knew how he was gonna show him that he got her number b4 he pulled the "how do you like them apples?" joke. Such great one-liners and two epic speeches by Sean and Chucky. The soundtrack is amazing by Elliott Smith; even though it's depressing, it does align w/the movie very well.

I'm glad you liked the Sean speech at the pond. It remains in my top 5 best of all time.

The eggs on the bar are pickled eggs. They used to be a pretty standard bar snack, but that was like 50 years ago. So, that was a very old school townie bar.

The park scene is one of my favorite scenes of all time, and one of the most beautifully written.

great reaction Mari, thank you for keeping it real.

I've cried every time I've seen this. Was broken the first time I saw it in 1997. Am even more broken now.

My favorite behind the scenes fact of this movie, during the scene where Robin talks about his wife farting when they're laughing you'll notice the camera shaking and thats bc the camera operator is laughing with them lol.

Great reaction! I only caught the end so I’m going to have to go back and watch the whole thing.

That was a very wholesome reaction! Thank you, Mary!

Also love how the students know if any of them take credit from will, they'll be expected to continue working on problems that hard and harder so the rouse wouldn't last regardless!

Ah what a great reaction, Mary! You made me tear up.

Your reactions are so pure and wholeheartedly 🖤 I am so here for it

What always amazes me about this movie, every time I see it, is all the people around him who see that he's hurting himself and want him to face the truth so that he can live a happy life -- Sean, Prof. Lambeau, Skyler, Chucky . . . each of them confronts him. It takes *all* of them (especially Sean, but really all of them) to save him, and they almost fail. He's a genius, yes, but what makes him lucky is all the loving friends he has.

Mary, I love this movie and I loved your reaction. Thank you for sharing. :)

Another very enjoyable reaction Mari, this movie is a classic with its meaning & great dialog.

Such an awesome movie. It never gets old, no matter how many times I watch it.

Thank you for your heartfelt emotions and insightful insights. It brought even more life into this amazing film. The DVD commentary on this one is a very good commentary.

most of us grew up knowing Robin Williams as a comedian and tv actor. then he did good morning Vietnam and really proved his acting skills., and kept reminding us of his comedic talents with Aladdin and mrs. doubtfire

I just started binge-watching your videos and told myself Mary needs to see Good Will Hunting and here it is!! Keep up the good work love your stuff!

Thank you for this wonderful reaction video! Your reaction let me feel like the first time I have seen it back in the day.

Affleck,Damon and Robin all won oscars for this movie masterpiece...

Mary, thanks for another intelligent and emotional reaction. Obviously the pain and tenderness touched you, as they do me. I have to tell you a story. People who have commented on this movie to other 1st time reactors may have gotten sick of seeing my dumb story. Sorry, it's part of my self therapy. The story is about a detail in the film that is so small and insignificant that Damon and Affleck had to know most people would never notice it. I probably noticed it only because I'm a musician. At the beginning of the story, a couple of psychotherapists are being "auditioned" with the aim of finding a shrink for Will. For the 2nd one, Will is lying on the couch, eyes closed, pretending to be hypnotized. He breaks into song: "Skyrockets in flight, afternoon delight, ohhh afternoon delight!" He opens his eyes and says "I don't need therapy!'' At the end, when Will is driving toward California and the credits are rolling, we hear a number of songs, the last one being "Skyrockets in Flight, Afternoon Delight", written and sung in 1976 by The Starland Vocal Band. Nice touch.

I needed a rewatch of this film today. Thanks

this is one of my favorite movies ever. Im glad i got to see you react to it because ive seen it probably 30 times and it doesnt effect me the way it did the first time i seen it. But seeing someone cry over the scenes i cried over has allowed me to relive the way i felt when i first seen it. Thank you. Also i relate to will so much because his story has a lot in common with my story. I spent my life wasting my time with close friends and relatives drinking and using drugs to dull the sharp edges of life for me. I grew up around abusive people. Now im finally doing something better with my life but it took a long time and the support of good family and friends. therapists didnt do much for me.

Thank you for such a beautiful, heartfelt reaction! I’m not ashamed to admit I was tearing up with you even though I’ve seen this movie at least 10 times previously. This is the reason I watch reaction videos! Happy Holidays!

Robin Williams started out as a comedian and is known for funny movies. But he has a wide range and can play serious drama rolls like this or in Patch Adams. Or, a villain like in “Insomnia” or “One Hour Photo”

R.I.P. to one of the best actors, and comedic genius, Robin Williams.

Good Will Hunting won an academy award for best screen play. It was written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Who are still to this day, best friends.

Absolutely loved your reaction!!! So good!!!

"Awakenings" is an underappreciated Robin Williams gem and one of those films that can change the way you look at life forever. P.S.: have plenty of tissues on hand.
