Patch Adams / What Dreams May Come (Double Feature)

2 great movies from a great actor

Two great Robbin Williams movies. Comes on two separate discs.

If you’re Robin Williams, fan and you’re looking for a way to build your movie collection. These nice little duo sets are the way to go!

What can I say? Patch Adams is a wonderful movie and one of Robin's greatest roles. I like that he starts out as a mental patient himself and then while in the hospital, he helps another patient. He checks himself out of the hospital and enters medical school. Robin as Patch has a keen interest in who patients are, instead of letting their illnesses define them. He treats his patients as people, not an illness. He believes in using humor to help patients deal with their pain and forget about their illnesses for a while. He opens a clinic with other students who share his beliefs and treats patients without charging them. Of course Patch runs into problems with some members of administration along the way for his unorthodox treatment methods and he encounters a personal tragedy of his own when his girlfriend is murdered by a mentally unbalanced patient. At this point Patch considers suicide. This is a difficult scene to watch considering that Robin did die by suicide. However, Patch does not commit suicide and goes on to graduate from medical school.What Dreams May Come is a unique film that may not be for everyone. It is not one of my favorite Robin Williams movies. Robin and his wife lose their two sons to an accident. Robin dies a few years later and then his wife commits suicide. When Robin gets to the afterlife, nothing is as it seems. His children are not as they were on earth. His guide is mysterious. While Robin is in heaven, his wife who is still alive seems to communicate with Robin through her art. After a while his wife cannot bear the loneliness and kills herself. This is where the movie might become difficult to watch for some viewers. Since his wife commits suicide, she ends up in what you could call hell. Through the help of others and one person called a tracker, Robin literally searches hell for his wife and finds her. He has to try to make her see that none of these things is her fault and that she is in fact creating her own personal hell due to her guilt but that she can get out of it. She doesn't even recognize Robin or really know who she herself is. Eventually his wife believes Robin and remembers their life together and their kids. The four of them are reunited. Just when you think the four of them will live in happiness together forever, there is a twist at the end of the movie. I don't want to give the ending away. I just personally do not like the twist. Patch Adams is definitely a great movie that almost anyone can enjoy. Robin does a fantastic job in What Dreams May Come but I feel that What Dreams May Come is not for everyone because of the way heaven and hell are portrayed and because of personal beliefs that may conflict with the movie.

GREAT CLASSIC

It was packaged well and the dvd was in great condition!

Works great love these movie what a classic

I have seen these films a couple of times; however, every time I see either of them I experience them in a different way. This third time for each was even better than the first two. I'm so glad that we bought these for our personal DVD library. Robin Williams was magnificent as always. The quality of the photography in both is over the top. The plots are wonderful: There's something for everyone in each of these. Quite beautiful films. PS. I miss Robin Williams so much; what a wonderful, extremely talented actor.

I like anything with this actor in it. I ve never seen a bad movie with him in it.

What dreams may come, amazing film. I believe Robin is there now. I've yet to watch Patch Adam, but anything with the genius is going to be good.

I liked these movies before and was glad to find them again. Quality is good

Great as always

I think the movie is one of his best movies ... They are amazing movies ... He gave his best abilities in his roles.
