Good Morning Vietnam*
decent performance/ok movie
It's the movie where it seemed he might actually be an actor worth something. I'm impressed by how he had a role like this which basically allowed him to do what he was great at (comedic riffing into eternity) and be a dramatic enough performance that he suddenly had to be taken seriously as not just a comic.
Yeah, the movies okay.
Good Will Hunting
Probably my favorite performance of his. Great movie
The kind of movie that I think is good simply because I have nothing bad to say about it. It's enjoyable. It's good. So is he. Actually, he's very good.
Dead Poets Society
Second favorite movie I’d say.
Maybe the best movies he's been in. But what do I know? Knowing shit is a waste of time anyways. .
Awakenings
Really good movie, although a bit overly sentimental, perhaps?
A movie I was very fond of when I first saw it, that I just imagine can't being of any interest to me these days (but I felt this way about Dead Poet's Society as well, until I rewatched it about ten years ago, so who knows). But when it comes to his acting, this was the one that made me respond to him as a dramatic actor. I think it's an underrated performance even while I don't feel the movie needs any particular re-evaluation (at least until I rewatch it............I wont')
Fisher King
Haven’t seen yet
I'm not a big fan of Gilliam's films. But this is one of the three or four I will go to bat for.
Obviously worth hating. But also worth hesitantly loving.
Insomnia...Need to see the original yet
I don't even remember the original. I remember this more. It's fine.
Bird Cage
Haven’t seen yet
Okay movie. Decent performance
World According to Garp
Haven’t seen yet
I feel bad about this one. All I remember about it is that I hated it when I first watched it in university.. And I've never come close to rewatching it again. I'm just assuming he's good in it and its not so bad. My tastes were pretty bad back then. My current self would have murdered me for my terrible opinions back then if time travel was possible
Mrs Doubtfire
Haven’t seen yet, low priority really.
It's a ****ing colossal brain-sized turd. Step on it at your own risk. Yes, of course some people like it, and I guess that isn't a war crime. But it is.
