Popeye (1980) This one may be my favorite. This writer from Vanity Fair agrees with me He was perfect for the role, and the movie itself is timeless. The way Popeye interacts with his "pappy" played by Ray Walston is always so much fun to watch. Directed by Robert Altman and produced by Robert Evans. Evans shares some memories of Williams in a new interview from The Hollywood Reporter. Another remembrance from Comic Book Resources.
Good Will Hunting (1997). Williams was brilliant in this movie. I saw the picture twice when it came out and was really inspired by the film, and the way his character encourages the young man played by Matt Damon to make something better with himself. Producer Harvey Weinstein remembers Williams in a new interview with the Hollywood Reporter here. In recent days, Boston fans have come to the park where the movie was filmed to pay respects.
Dead Poets Society (1989) I had to watch the movie twice to fully appreciate it. I never had a poetry class, but I always imagine that I'd enjoy the class if it were taught by the character Williams brings to life. He always reminds me of some of the best teachers I ever had in college, who really wanted to make a lasting impression with the students. One of the film's co-stars, Norman Lloyd remembers Robin in this new tribute from The Hollywood Reporter.
