9 Robin Williams Movies I Want My Daughter to Watch

“Everyone has these two visions when they hold their child for the first time. The first is your child as an adult saying ‘ I want to thank the nobel committee for this award ’. The other is ‘ You want fries with that ? ’’ said this Brilliant actor. He further went up to say “I love kids but they are a tough audience”. Yes I am talking about the Academy Award Winner actor Robin Williams who bid good bye to this world recently. Here I am with the 9 Robin Williams movies I don’t want my daughter to miss when she grows up.

I remember very clearly Jumanji was the first super adventure movie that was discussed among my friends when we were in our school. Though I hadn’t seen that movie then,  the vivid scenes narrated by my friends had enchanted me. The whole concept of an ancient board game, a boy trapped in it for 26 years, jungle beasts, giant mosquitoes in the modern England background all were exciting for the little girl in me then.

You know what attracted me the most when I saw the movie afterwards? The square-faced , family friendly charming fella Robin Williams !! I was fond of his goofy screen friendly nature and stand up comedies. Little did I know about the struggle with depression and alcoholism this actor went through before ending his life in a piece of rope. Well RIP Robin Williams ..

Though this post is a bit late I wanted to make sure we pay tribute to this actor in the best way possible through this blog Bumps n Baby.
