Question of the Week: “What is your most memorable Robin Williams movie, or movie moment?”
“I loved him in Club Paradise — one of my all-time favorite movies. He’s such a genius. One of my favorite quotes of his is,
‘If women ran the world we wouldn’t have war, just intense negotiations every 28 days.’”
—Gayatri Bhatnagar, Princeton
“Definitely Hook. He made me feel like a kid again. Robin Williams always seemed like a great guy who had a great heart.”
“So many fantastic Robin Williams moments. The one line that always sticks with me throughout the years is the part in Mrs. Doubtfire when he pulls his face out of the refrigerator and goes, ‘Heelllooooooo!!!! I use that line all the time.”
—Jared Kramer, Ewing
“I heard him on Mart Marin’s podcast a few years ago and he had this unbelievable understanding of the depth of his characters. I think some of his best roles were dramatic. I really connected with them. Something like Insomnia is one of my favorites. But I’ve always been a huge Robin Williams fan in general and I’m sad about losing him so soon.”
—Shane Burbage, Hamilton
Michael: “I thought he was brilliant. But I feel betrayed by his suicide almost the way I remember feeling about John Belushi’s
sudden death many years ago. He was a comedian and a talent I enjoyed and I really missed his genius.”
Richard: “I remember him best, as Michael just mentioned, as a genius. And he was an extraordinary actor and comedic actor.
I loved his role in Good Will Hunting. I thought he was phenomenal. He will be sorely missed as a great actor and a unique person.”
