9. Robin Williams In “Good Will Hunting” (1997)
We can almost certainly say that Williams is one of the greatest comedians of all time, with stunning performances behind him like “Alladin”, “Mrs. Doubtfire” and “Good Morning Vietnam”.
Everybody loved this actor for his determination and devotion to the roles, but he soon impressed and surprised his fans with his amazing role in “Good Will Hunting”.
Even though we already saw a glimpse of his more serious side in “The Dead Poets Society”, it was his role as a therapist who takes on a troubled but genius patient that showed us a completely different Robin.
The entire movie is a masterpiece, but Robin’s performance blew everyone away for sure.
