Another of my favorites, The World According to Garp (1982), starring Robin Williams in his first movie role, after his success for several years on the Mork & Mindy TV series.
it remains my favorite Robin Williams movie.

At once funny, absurd, and sophisticated in a New England prep school sort of way. If I recall, Roger Ebert was annoyed by it, asking "what was it about?" To me it was easy to see what it was about., With humor, it was about the similar moments everyone shares in our lives: being born, childhood, trying to discover something about ourselves in learning about the lives and histories of our own parents, falling in love for the first time, discovering sex, choosing a career path during high school and college, getting married, buying a home, raising children, experiencing disappointments in marriage, experiencing the social absurdities of the era you live through (in Garp's case, the 1950's,1960's and 1970's). It was my first time seeing Robin Williams, Glenn Close, and John Lithgow in any movie, And all were excellent.

Garp is a gifted writer who struggles to find meaning in the fanatical and radicalism-filled times of the 1960's and 1970's. I think the portrayed "Ellen Jamesians" capture well that fanaticism.

Some very clever lines. intelligent and funny throughout.

I've come to prefer watching them on the Russian site, where they have clear video, and without commercials.
Many on Youttube are commercial free too, and others bury you in commercials.
