I thought he was particular brilliant in Good Will Hunting.

I don't think I disliked any of his roles. The man was very diverse.

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?

I posted this in the other thread, but it deserves to be posted again.

One of my all time favorite scenes in movie history. LINK We thank you for the treasures you gave us.

The guy was as good as it gets when he actually did serious roles.

This man was part of my childhood. Mrs. Doubtfire, Hook, Aladdin, and numerous other movies that I will cherish forever. Hate to hear about this.

Hunter Patch Adams: [looks down over cliff, a rock tumbles off] Yeah, I could do it. We both know you wouldn't stop me. So answer me please. Tell me what you're doing. Okay, let's look at the logic. You create man. Man suffers enormous amounts of pain. Man dies. Maybe you should have had just a few more brainstorming sessions prior to creation. You rested on the seventh day. Maybe you should've spent that day on compassion.

It's like so many other greats-- both his incredible talent and his terrible problems were intertwined.

His movies were terrific but what he did with Comic Relief was really meaningful. This is a big part of his legacy and hope it doesn't get forgotten.

Peter Banning: [to Rufio, who pulls a sword at him] Okay, mister. All right, show's over. Now, you put that thing away! Now, put it down before you poke somebody's eye out.

[the Lost Boys all laugh]

Peter Banning: You're not old enough to shave! What are you doing with a sword? And flying around... this is an insurance nightmare! What is this, some sort of "Lord of the Flies" preschool? Where are your parents? Who's in charge, here?

[the Lost Boys all point to Rufio, who bows]

Peter Banning: No! No, Mr. Skunkhead with too much mousse. You are just a punk kid. I want to speak to a grown-up!

Rufio: All grown-ups are pirates!

Peter Banning: Excuse me?

Rufio: [smiles] We kill pirates.

Peter Banning: I'm not a pirate. It so happens I am a lawyer.

Rufio: Kill the lawyer!

Lost Boys: [drawing their weapons] Kill the lawyer!

Peter Banning: [backs away nervously] I'm not that kind of lawyer...

Was just talking about him yesterday. A friend hadn't seen Good Will Hunting and I made him watch. One of the guys that you just thoroughly in enjoy in everything. Even in some of his worst received movies, he was pleasant to watch. RIP.
