4. Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)
One of the sure choices for a classic by Robin Williams, this story is about a fun and caring by happy-go-lucky man who loses his kids’ custody in divorce, and is allowed to see them only once. In order to be in touch with his children and wife, his character, Daniel Hillard, a crazy actor specializing in dubbing, disguises as a Scottish nanny with a strict attitude but a kind heart. His antics as the old lady, the unrecognizable make-up, the voice: every bit of the film plays to Williams’ versatility and strengths. The desperate father’s desire to be with his children wrings the heart in the middle of all the humour and surprises.
