“Mrs. Doubtfire,” Math teacher Michelle Perryman said.

“So far as I remember Mrs. Doubtfire was my favorite,” Cicero Resident Melissa Martinez said.

“I would have to say my favorite Robin Williams’ movie is “Dead Poets Society”. I watched the movie in a high school English class and loved it. My brother also watched it when he had the same class and teacher and we bond over the movie. It is also about an English teacher so of course, it is my favorite! It is sad at some parts, but I think I watched it at an important part of my life,” English teacher Noelle Lowther said.

“Happy feet”, “Aladdin,” student Isaac Hernandez said.

Great picks for a beginner or for a movie date.

“Funny, Charismatic, Charming, Creative,” Math teacher Michelle Perryman said.

“I see Robin as very funny never shy to express his funny side,” Cicero resident Melissa Martinez said.

“Much like a lot of us, I didn’t know Robin Williams personally. I truly believe that like other actors and actresses that leave us, their films are a gift to the world and we can see who they were through those characters and roles. I don’t think I can give one word to describe Robin Williams, but I would have to say: one of a kind,” Journalism teacher Noelle Lowther said.

“I see him as funny and kind to others,” student Isaac Hernandez said.
