Robin Williams films on bluray in the UK. - Blu-ray Forum

Firstlt let me say the man was a true legend. His career had some ups and downs and whilst his passing is truly a sad occasion, his life and career should be celebrated.

With celebration in mind, what films of Robin Williams do you wish you could have on bluray, that currently aren't available? What are your favourite films of his? Favourite extras?

Personally I would love to see What Dreams May Come on bluray in the UK.

I really like the film August Rush. He only plays a supporting role in it (kinda small if I remember rightly), but as usual, he was great. I just checked on Amazon, and they have the Blu as a US import only, so I'd like to see this film given an upgrade.
Also, is Flubber available on Blu-ray? Loved that film when I was younger.

There seem to be a lot of his films that you can't get over here (but available elsewhere).

Always loved Dead Poets Society and remember Awakenings fondly, but I'd really like to see The World According to Garp released. Not seen it for ages and remember really enjoying it when I was younger. The Fisher King is long overdue a UK release as well!

Let's be having some Popeye.

One Hour Photo is an underrated (pretty creepy) gem of a film, with a fine performance from Robin Williams. He was really good in World's Greatest Dad too. Mrs. Doubtfire will always be one of my favourites. He had such a great sense of humour. I always enjoyed Flubber when I was younger too. I think I will have to have a Robin Williams day/week very soon in respect & celebration of his life and career. I must watch One Hour Photo again with the commentary by Romanek & Williams soon too.

I am just after buying a good few of his films today.

Rest in Peace Robin, such a tragic loss.

I am devastated by the loss of Robin Williams and the film studios seem to think that his films are not good enough to release here are some....(I know some are out in the USA but we loved him in the UK too).... Flubber, Good morning Vietnam, Dead poets society, Awakenings, The Fisher king, Toys, Nine months, Jack, Fathers day, What dreams may come, Patch Adams, Jakob the liar, Bicentennial man, The Final cut, The Big white, The Night listener, Man of the year. come studios I would buy all these day one so get a bloody move on and get theses out, he was a great actor and you are doing him disrespect by not putting his films out...

WernerP · 08-12-2014, 11:09 AM

A lot of his movies are not available on Blu-ray with Dutch subtitles. Notably Dead Poet's Society and One Hour Photo; but a rare gem that I sorely miss and that isn't available on BR anywhere is Bicentennial Man.

R.I.P Robin Williams you are missed..

I'd love a bluray of this... A great, underappreciated movie.

It just goes to show how versatile and talented the man was. Jumanji is my favourite of his. RIP Robin.

Patch Adams & Popeye

August Rush was one of his finest performances. A wonderful film. Robin Williams will be sadly missed.

The US Blu-ray is Region free by the way.

Dickieduvet · 08-12-2014, 11:42 AM

Oh great! I'll look into getting it at some point then

filmmusic · 08-12-2014, 12:09 PM

I would love a collector's edition with many extras of Hook.
This film is so underrated!

Less than £6 to import the region free US version which i have.

levcore · 08-12-2014, 12:14 PM

Does the UK release of Mrs Doubtfire retain the special features from the US one?

Yep.

The-Dude · 08-12-2014, 12:19 PM

Wish that The Fisher King would get released here as apparently the US release is region locked! Love that film.

Will miss Robin Williams - one of my favourite actors of all time! R.I.P.

FilmFanSam · 08-12-2014, 12:21 PM

Has anyone seen The Angriest Man in Brooklyn?

Is it worth picking up for about £9 shipped?
