I've only seen one Robin Williams film - Good Morning, Vietnam - I thought it was crap.

The news this morning is terribly sad but I didn't realise what a popular performer he was over here until today. I remember Mork and Mindy as being annoying and unfunny and the bits of his stand up I've seen were too.

Which films of his do you recommend? I'm obviously missing something.
