#6. Mrs. Doubtfire
Mrs. Doubtfire was the quintessential 90s-kid movie memory and still holds up as a classic to this day. After voice-over actor Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) gets divorced and loses custody of his three children, he resorts to dressing up and speaking like a matronly grandmother to get hired as his kids’ nanny. Scenes were shot between fifteen to twenty-two times because Robin Williams wasn’t satisfied until he had the scene worked out of his system.
One of the most memorable scenes in the movie is when Mrs. Doubtfire frantically smashes her face in a cake to disguise herself. The icing drips into Mrs. Sellner’s tea and she says, “There you go, you’ve got your cream and your sugar now.” This hilarious detail was actually completely unintentional. Because it was so hot on set, the icing dripped from Robin Williams’ chin and he just improvised from there.
