“Gooooooood morning, Vietnam!”

It’s one of Robin Williams‘ most famous and oft-quoted film lines, one that continues to keep that horrific war, where scores of our brave men and women gave life and limb, in our collective memory.

And who can forget “Carpe Diem!” from the movie Dead Poets Society, a motivational film that continues to inspire us to see things in new ways, to seize opportunity as it comes, to stay true to our ourselves even in the face of adversity.

Williams even played a character playing a character of the opposite sex in the indomitable Mrs. Doubtfire.

The film Patch Adams, the true story of real-life doctor Hunter “Patch” Adams, continues to inspire children, and their families, battling cancer.

Williams won an Academy Award for his outstanding work in Good Will Hunting.
