It's been two years since the untimely death of Robin Williams, and while it's heartbreaking to think that he's gone, his performances still leave us with laughs, lessons and tears.
Known for his acting, as well as his stand-up comedy, Williams earned an assortment of awards during his career, including: one Academy Award; six Golden Globes; two Primetime Emmys; two Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films awards; an American Cinematheque Award; five American Comedy Awards; and the list continues.
His comedy brightened our days, and some of his heartfelt performances sometimes taught us important life lessons.
Though gone too soon, his legacy continues through his works and his words, as well as one of his most poignant quotes: "No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world."
Take a look below at clips from five of our favorite Robin Williams movies. Although his filmography is much more extensive, these clips perfectly capture just how talented and dedicated Williams was.
