This article will discuss the films and career of Robin Williams. Robin Williams got his big start on television, on the hit series Mork & Mindy from 1978 to 1982. After that, he established himself as one of the greatest comedians of his generation. He is an incredibly likable actor and has had some incredible films.

The following films are what I consider to be the best movies of Robin Williams’ illustrious career.

Before Big Momma’s House and before John Travolta decided to play a lady in the hit film Hairspray, Robin Williams had his iconic performance as the role of Mrs. Doubtfire. This is one of my favorite comedies of the 90s and a great one to watch with the family.

Another movie that definitely has to be included on this list is Good Morning, Vietnam. This film was released in 1988 and directed by Barry Levinson, and features Williams as an unorthodox DJ who took control of the US armed forces radio station during the war.

The reality is that no one who lives on Earth is truly free, after all there’s a thing called gravity, and it kind of keeps you down.

In many regards that’s a good thing, because if it didn’t you’d fall off into the Sun, or maybe you’d be floating around in space as an energy species rather than your current form as a human being here on the surface of the planet we call Earth. Nevertheless, back to the issue of freedom and liberty which recently came up at one of our think tank topic discussions; is anyone really free?
