I'm not sure why, but I was thinking about Robin Williams this morning. He was truly a legendary soul, and his endless talent and boundless energy is greatly missed.
There are many movies of his which I'm a fan. I picked some of his top films (in my mind, anyway) for a morning movie poll. Feel free to share other favorites.

Very low effort. Or is it almost Japanese in its restraint?
Which is the most iconic Kurt Russell/John Carpenter character?
THE TEACHER'S LOUNGE (2023, D. Ilker Çatac) is one long workplace anxiety attack. It starts as a mystery-- someone stealing the coffee money from the teacher's lounge-- and escalates into a study of prejudice, false accusations, and institutional fecklessness. #YabtM #reviews #YouTube #movies #film #cinema #CineMastodon #FilmMastodon #Germany #monly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pXmbm71egM

First time I watched 'Flow' was at the cinema, but upon second viewing I can now confirm that the internet was right about the effect that the film has on cats. Can also confirm that it remains a masterclass in visual storytelling, and a beautiful and tender tale about survival and found family that evokes thoughts and emotions without the use of any dialogue.
Such an incredible achievement by a small team, all done with open source software. People keep repeating how impressive it is that it was created in Blender for good reason, because it is legitimately one of the most stunning animated films that have been released in the recent years. 100% worth every bit of praise it has received.
