Christopher Nolan Broke A Huge Robin Williams Trend For His First $100 Million Success

While Christopher Nolan has had plenty of box office hits, his 2002 psychological thriller, Insomnia, will always be considered one of his most memorable as his first $100 million success helped Robin Williams break a huge trend. Before Williams starred alongside Al Pacino in Insomnia, the actor was mainly known for his comedic films and television roles. Characters, like the titular alien in Mork & Mindy, Adrian Cronauer in Good Morning, Vietnam, and Genie in Disney’s Aladdin, were often considered some of Williams’ best and funniest roles as they often allowed him to show off his amazing improv skills.
