I didn’t find him particularly scary in Insomnia, but he was believable and his character had depth which meant a lot more in the context of the film.
Insomnia is still a bit underrated, buried in the larger Nolan canon. It’s an incredible and inventive crime drama, but probably (one of?) Nolan’s weakest. Which is to say it’s broadly only like an 8/10.

Yeah he was definitely a good “villain” in One Hour Photo, he was eery to say the least.
I’ve watched most of Robin Williams’ films and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of it.
My favourite, by far, is still Dead Poets Society.

Awakenings made me cry in a time I was indoctrinated into the idea that boys don’t cry.

If someone doesn’t cry while watching Awakenings, I’d have to question their humanity. Flowers For Algernon had the same effect on me.
