20 Best Robin Williams Movies (And Where To Watch Them)

Updated on

If you’re looking for the best Robin Williams movies to watch then you’re in the right place. Choosing a Robin Williams movie to watch is not an easy task because the actor has delivered so many iconic performances throughout his long career. Known for his ability to bring both comedy and tragedy to a role, Williams was a beloved Hollywood actor.

Learn more about the celebrated actor's career below and find out where you can watch 20 of the best Robin Williams movies using streaming services like Max, Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+!

The award-winning actor first broke onto the scene with his performance in the television series Mork and Mindy before starring in his movie role as Popeye. Throughout the early '90s, Robin Williams solidified himself as a commercially successful actor with roles in major movies such as Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, and Good Will Hunting.

Throughout the 2000s, Robin Williams took on darker, more complex roles, attempting to shake-off being typecast as a comedian. With his performances in Insomnia, an early Christopher Nolan movie, and One Hour Photo, Williams proved his range as an actor. But he never strayed too far from what made him successful. He continued to bring his comic genius to the screen all the way up to his tragic passing in 2014. For those interested in learning more about him, the HBO documentary, Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind offers a moving and revealing portrait of the star.

While you can argue with exactly how good a film Flubber is, you can’t deny that Robin Williams' performance is what made the movie a cult classic. The same goes for some of the lesser-known movies in his filmography. For example, Toys sees him team up with Barry Levinson for an ambitious fantasy-comedy that is carried by the performance of the iconic lead. Watch a layered and emotional Robin Williams in Jack, an inspirational Robin Williams in Good Morning, Vietnam, or a dark turn in Terry Gilliam’s The Fisher King.
