What are some other movies that feature leads that are completely irreplaceable?

One of if not the best comedy actors of a generation. His talent is sorely missed

Rest in peace, Robin Williams. I simply can't imagine anyone else in the role of Daniel/Mrs Doubtfire. I always cry when Mrs Doubtfire gives her closing monologue on divorce, and how sometimes it's the best solution for everyone involved.

RIP Robin Williams (1951-2014). Also, I can’t believe Mrs. Doubtfire will turn 30 this year.

The girl who played the eldest daughter in this movie got kicked out of school due to poor attendance due to the filming of this movie. Robin personally wrote to the school begging them to take her back. They still refused - but framed his letter 😂

Robin Williams is far and away the celebrity death that hit me the hardest. The man was an essential part of my childhood, and losing him felt like losing the fun uncle in the family. RIP, Robin. You'll never be forgotten.

I had the chance to meet Robin two separate times during my tours of duty. The first, I was a security detail for a USO tour that featured him, Kid Rock and Lance Armstrong. I rode on a Black Hawk with Robin touring Iraq for a day. He was exactly as you imagine. The second time, when I was in Afghanistan, I saw him at a USO function in Kandahar and waited in line for about 2 hours to get his autograph for my gf, and to my shock he remembered me! This man will always be a legend to me.

This movie is genuinely one of my comfort films. As a child in a broken home and a father who didnt want the responsibility of children, Mrs Doubtfire was a beacon of love. A movie about a dad who wanted EVERYTHING to do with his kids, demanding the ability to be with them and be a part of their lives. The warmth of Daniel's fatherly smile, the comfort of Mrs Doubtfire's grandmotherly persona, all the while knowing its their father behind the mask. It cemented Robin Williams as the uncle I never met. I grieved when he died. This movie will remain with me as a cherished comfort and memory.

This movie meant so much to me as a kid. My parents had a very messy divorce in the mid-90s and I remember wishing things would just go back to normal. I would get frustrated watching TV shows where all the problems were neatly solved at the end, yet my problem seemed impossible to solve. Mrs. Doubtfire was the first thing that showed me that life is going to be different now, but that it was going to be ok.

Chris Columbus is a top tier director. Mrs. Doubtfire, Home Alone, AND the first two Harry Potters!

It took me a few years to be able to finally watch Robin Williams movies again after his passing. I don't get emotional with most celebrity deaths, but something about his presence, especially his smile brought such a warmth to the screen, and you can just tell his desire to make people happy and laugh was pure and genuine. Him being gone, especially the way it happened made it really difficult to bear watching him on screen for awhile. It was just too sad and heartbreaking 💔 There was truly no one else like him

I think part of why it works is because he isn’t trying to get his wife back, just his time with his kids. It makes the “stalking” a little less creepy.

Robin Williams is simply irreplaceable as an entertainer. A true 1 of 1.

One of the only celebrity deaths that hit me hard. A once in a generation actor and all round beloved human.

I believe why people like Robin Williams is that(at least to my knowledge) he didn't have a bad workstyle history, got well with everyone and even making jokes he never stooped to the level that some people do in the name of comedy. He stood up for himself and others and (at least to my knowledge) didn't take advantage of others. There are a handful of creators out there that are like this and why most gravitate toward them even if they aren't in the limelight.

Anytime I see literally anything about him, I immediately just wanna scream “GIVE HIM BACK”. But as someone who had a loved one take their own lives, and especially as someone who survived their own attempt, it would just seem so unfair to ask him to come back when he left of his own accord, however we may be left to feel about it. He gave us beautiful memories, and for that, this world is grateful. He accomplished his mission, and it was time for him to go home. ❤

I firmly agree with every point you've made here. I honestly couldn't agree more. Robin really was something else entirely. The entire cast and crew did a phenomenal job on this film. Mrs. Doubtfire has, and always shall be, one of my favorite things ever. I was newly thirteen years old when I first saw this film. I fell in love with it immediately. I'm newly forty-three years old. I'm STILL in love with it. I always will be. Lavender Jack...Swooping On Down.

I used to watch this VHS every weekend. I don't think I would've cared for the movie if it wasn't for Robin Williams playing Mrs Doubtfire.

Such a one of a kind classic that got even better now that we found out how much improvising was done. Rest In Peace 😢

RIP Robin Williams 🙏🏻 He was a huge impact to my early childhood. I watched so many of his movies (Jumanji, Jack, Flubber, Patch Adams, etc.) by myself as a kid, back when VHS tapes were the only way to watch movies. He was a comfort to me at a young age and I will always cherish him and his memory for it

To this day I can't watch a Robin Williams performance without getting all torn up inside. Going through a lot of mental turmoil myself, off and on meds that don't work, making others laugh so I keep going. I know if he could, he would tell us all it was a mistake, and he would want us to enjoy all of his stories regardless of the bleak ending. I can't thank you enough for making this video guys, I think I'm gonna go rewatch Flubber and try and have a good day :)

One of the best family films ever made. I've seen it countless times but never gets old. Williams is a force of nature in it. On his day there's not many as actors as watchable as him

I remember reading somewhere there was gonna be a sequel that was scrapped after Robin’s death.

Miss Robin so much! Mrs. Doubtfire is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. I've seen it so many times and laugh like I've never seen it before. So great!

I love this movie.

Robin Williams was one of those rare actors/comedians who was able to fully leverage both his physical and verbal comedy to reach a pure funniness that anyone, whether your a kid or middle-aged adult could enjoy and laugh at. In a lot of ways, Jim Carrey also tapped into this style of comedy, however as an actor, Williams was unmatched. He was able to deliver a feeling of genuine sincerity and warm kindness that no other actor has ever been able to replicate. Which is why his death was so tragic for so many of us, because losing him meant losing that joy, that laughter, and that irreplaceable kind comfort he provided the world.

My God, I miss Williams. Such a wholesome man. We have a lot to be thankful for.

I saw a list of the top 20 Robin Williams movies yesterday and was blown away. They named 20 bangers. Despite that, they still missed several gems. Talent like him doesn't come along often unless it's being imitated. The fact that we got both him and Jim Carrey in the same lifetime is nothing short of a miracle

He practically carried every movie he was involved in. I admire everyone who got the privilege to work with him. There will never be another one like Robin Williams. R.I.P you beautiful man

I legit cried when I heard of his passing. No other actor/person I've never met made me feel that way before. I remember meeting his beautiful daughter, Zelda, when I was working at a restaurant at the time and she was incredibly polite, courteous, and respectful. How incredibly fortunate that I grew up with him in some of my favorite movies of my childhood and adolescence.

An amazing person and talent, gone far too soon.

Mrs. Doubtfire is still a great movie. It’s great no matter how old you are. When you’re young it’s hilarious to see a man dressed as an old woman doing what Robin Williams did. As you get older you start to understand the adultness of it. The lessons beyond the hilarity. It’s a special film.

Yes, it's still and will always be a great classic! In fact, it's one of the top five Robin Williams films for me. For it showcased not only his comedic genius but also his dramatic sensitivity that only a few actors could masterfully balance in one movie. We all miss him so much. Thankfully he left thousands of movies, tv series, and video contents that we can all enjoy watching for infinity.

His genius can't be replaced. He was truly remarkable

“It was a run by fruiting” is still one of my favorite movie quotes.

rest in peace

Been almost 10 years and I still miss the guy.

I remember always watching Mrs Doubtfire whenever it came on tv at my grandparents house. My mom would be finishing school so I got kept by them. It was a good movie to watch. It usually came on before it was my nap time.

Literally my favourite movie of all time, I watched it so many times a kid but was so pleasantly surprised at how well it holds up even watching it a year ago. As outstanding as Robin is, I have to say Sally Field and Pierce Brosnan also crush it as well

Robin was one of a kind and is still very much missed.

Always loved Robin Williams and his movies especially Mrs. Doubtfire

Miss him every day. His authenticity in his roles and in his life made him truly unique. I’m grateful for the art that lives on.

I really try not to idolize actors but with Robin I couldn't help it. I actually teared up when he died. Probably a bit because he reminds me a lot of my dad, but also because he brought me so much joy over the years, from his whole spectrum of talents. From gut bustingly goofy funny to Oscar winning dramatic performances. The man was simply a treasure.

He was a Titan among Titans, Robin Williams had a charisma that not many actors have, which is he ALWAYS feels genuine.I had the privilege of meeting him once and it was a random encounter in early 2000s at a ski lift in Canada. It was only him and me on the chair for about 10 min. It's been 20 years and I still remember the encounter. I've never shed a tear for any famous person passing except for him. RIP Robin Williams.

Man. Mrs Doubtfire is one of my favorite movies and he's the reason as to why it's my #1 favorite movie. He made it so great to watch and he always put a smile on my face and tears in my eyes after I watch it again and again. I would've loved to meet the dude.

We were lucky to have lived through that time period. Blessed with talent like Williams but also movies that are wholesome, fun, innocent…

By far my favorite actor and the only actor I genuinly was sad about when he died. He did so many great movies when I was growing up he made it feel like we knew him and he was part of my life as a cousin or something.

No other actor could have pulled this off without being creepy. Robin was one of the greatest actors that ever lived in my opinion. You could feel his emotions in everything he did. This move and what dreams may come were my all time favorite Williams movies. I cried the day I found out he died. He’s like an uncle I never had. Rip

Just finished watching Ms.Doubtfire half an hour ago. And my dad called me right after and I spoke to him about how I finished watching the film and how Robin Williams was and is one of the best actors, comedians, entertainers and humans we’ll ever have. And he agreed. He told me that he remembers taking me to go watch Jumanji when it came out in 1996 and I was just six months old. He said that he remembers me laughing and enjoying the movie. I’m 27 years old and I still enjoy watching Robin’s films. Good will hunting and Peter Pan are two other films of his that I enjoy watching. He’s definitely irreplaceable and my heart breaks each time I watch one of his films, especially the ending divorce monologue in Ms.Doubtfire. My parents split when I was like 10 years old so I can relate, but the point is that Robin Williams has made me smile, laugh and cry since I was a little kid and I am grateful to my dad who took me to watch films at such a young age. And for Robin, you are still dearly loved and missed and I am grateful that I got to live at the same lifetime as you. Don’t forgot to hug, kiss, share a laugh with your loved ones and tell them you love them. ❤

Can't believe this movie turns 30 years old this year.

Robin Williams was such a cornerstone of my childhood in large part because of Mrs Doughtfire. I have no criticisms, especially considering the time.

I still miss him dearly

Mrs.Doughtfire is definitely still a great movie. Always will be. Robin is one of my favorite actors and comedians. This is one of those movies that I used to watch endlessly with my older sister, on VHS, growing up. Great video 👏

This movie would never fly today lmao

Why did this make me teary-eyed

This movie and Robin always give joy to my heart. Ive never been more sad with any other celebrity passing than with Robin Williams. He will always have a special place in my heart. I lived down the street from the exterior shot of the house that is in this movie. It always gives me wonderful memories of living in SF.

Besides Robin Williams, Mara Wilson really tugs at my heartstrings the entire movie…literally felt a knot in my throat when she got excited or sad about her dad 🥹 feeling it now just thinking about it

It's so sad what happened to This Man.

My favorite actor of all time. I miss this man he was an all time great.

The emotion Williams puts into a smile is uncanny!

There are certain actors who just have an ineffable quality to them that sets them apart. Robin Williams was such an actor. It is perhaps unsurprising that a life which touched such meteoritic happiness while simultaneously plunging the greatest depths of despair, was capable of delivering the full gambit of human emotion so effectively. It remains one of life’s cruelest jokes, that the only person Robin was unable to fill with joy, was himself. RIP.

You need to do a whole video on Robin Williams alone.

He had a warmth and tenderness despite the manic pace of his humor. Gone too soon...

wow this was an awesome video. I remember watching this movie a lot. I always went back because of robins ability to make me laugh and also feeling sympathy for him and the difficult situation he was in. you really shined the light on what makes this movie iconic, and the fact that its relying so much on the off-screen personality of robin, and it absolutely pays off. its nice knowing robin got to give the character his own take and personality and for the director to trust him with this hard task.

Excellend movie. Masterpiece.

That's why I love this channel, it makes me appreciate things I overlooked first time watching.

Absolutely amazing movie. Probably Williams’ best work.

Rest in Peace, Robin. You've always been my favourite actor. The no. 1 spot will forever be retired.

The GOAT comedian Robin Williams

Excellent takes on one of my most favorite films as a child.

Watching this video almost makes me tear up, the way y’all break down those moments. It truly is a unique film and Robin Williams was in a class all on his own. 😢

One of those movies, that isn't left behind in time.

One of my favorite movies!

Robin Williams and Jim Carrey in the 90s i still unmatched.

We, the world loved Robin Williams and it wasn't enough love and we lost one of the greatest people 💔 ❤️

It basically followed the same principles as "Tootsie", which also worked really well because of Dustin Hoffman's masterful acting.

Now I need to rewatch this wonderful film

It may sound strange because I've never met the man, but I miss Robin in the same way I miss my father or a dear friend. The world is a little less without him.

This is my favorite film from Robin. I miss him so much. Will never be another.

There's a number of his movies I absolutely love

Haha i just watched the movie yesterday with my two sons, great timing :)

I think the fact that he truly loves and wants to be around his kids is what makes the movie’s premise work for me. If he were only trying to get back with his ex that would be one thing but the fact that he wants to be around his kids is what makes the deception okay in my eyes since you can see he’s a father who genuinely feels lost without his family rather than some creep trying to take advantage of said family. And I agree I think that Robin Williams is the only actor who could’ve made that believable enough through his incredible performance.

All time great movie with an all time great actor. Never forget Robin Williams.

A truly once in a lifetime actor. Was nothing short of amazing getting to meet him in person however breif. ❤️

This movie can never get made today. The 90s were truly magical for film.

The wonder of Robin Williams.

My 2 absolute favorites by Robin. This movie and Hook

Mrs. Doubtfire was one of the greatest movies ever, to me it was Robin Williams greatest performances that shows the hardships of divorce on the majority of the family members, it was emotionally heartbreaking as it was genuinely warm memorable with some of the most exceptional comedic performances ever.... a real classic and treasured treat to be enjoyed many times a year. In fact, Mrs. Doubtfire as a classic ranks up in the same stratosphere with similarly fantastic classics such as " A Christmas Story " and " National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation " and " The 40 year old virgin " or " Planes, Trains and Automobiles " or " The Mask ". The thing about Robin Williams is the same as John Candy, they were both said to be super great people who were as approachable as they were funny, love them and their movie's. Robin Williams, John Candy, Adam Sandler, Jim Carey, Chevy Chase, Steve Carell, and many other's proved to be much more than great comedians, they were very talented actors as well. I've watched these film's and other's so much, that I've memorized the entire dialogue, and I get the same wonderful feeling and love for these film's each and every time I view them. They are a mainstay in my movie rotation that I watch five to ten times a month. Like wise other movies get this same praise and monthly airtime, like " John Wick " or " The Equalizer " or " The Terminator " or " The Matrix " or " Death Wish " or " Dirty Harry " or " V for Vendetta " or " A Christmas Carol " or " Enter the Dragon " and so on. Robin Williams and John Candy and Rodney Dangerfield and Chevy Chase and Adam Sandler and John Belushi Dan Aykroyd, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Denzel Washington, Charles Bronson, Johnny Depp, Don Knotts, Clint Eastwood and many other's make great and memorable movies that you love watching over and over.

I miss Robin Williams so much.

Love this movie. Rip robin

Rest In Peace, Robin. Gone but not forgotten

Loved it as kid had the vhs.

100% still love this movie and would sit down and watch the entire thing all over again right now. Good good stuff, those movies back then were just different, they don’t make movies…or actors for that matter…like that anymore

I'm not crying, you are! 😢

Still a great movie, and this is still a great channel.

I still remember watching this movie with my family when it came out. I think it was like a double feature they used to have those back in the day. I think we watched Homeward Bound and then after that movie was over in the same theater my mom told us to wait for the second movie. It was a good time to be alive all that time ago.

I'm the kind who will watch a movie once but Mrs Doubtfire I could a million. Robin Williams was a genius. I also love him in One hour photo. A total opposite of character that he usually played. He was so creepy in that film. Rest In Peace Robin. Gone But Never Forgotten ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

All of Robin Williams projects are masterpieces. He taught children of the 90s to believe in something undescribrable and most of all kindess can be its own form of magic. You are missed Mr Williams

It's funny you released this video today. I just watched it with a guy I tutor and we laughed so hard the ceiling almost caved in!

This movie came out at a perfect time in my family's life. My twin brother and I were a little younger than Natalie, and my older brothers were a little younger than the older two kids. On top of that, we were also recent children of divorce when this came out. Without realizing it, I think Mrs. Doubtfire helped normalize divorce in our lives.
