Aladdin (1992)
Can you imagine Genie in any other voice except that of Williams'? Neither can we. The comedian-turned-actor made the most of his gift of the gab and he made this film what it is.
Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)
Just when we thought there's nothing new in comedy, he turned up in a drag avatar and won our hearts all over again with this entertainer.
Good Will Hunting (1997)

Can we ask for a friendlier doctor? Williams' attempt at leading with laughter-is-the-best-medicine mantra might have ticked off the person on whom the story was based, but we definitely loved him in the film.
Bicentennial Man (1999)
In this futuristic drama, he once again did justice to his role in his usual endearing fashion.
