I was old enough to watch this movie when it first came out. This is one I remembered in great detail because it's just so poignant and well acted me Deniro is great and re-watching this today just made me miss the brilliance of Robin Williams at his most understated. Penny Marshall's direction is also so on point. As someone with a neurological condition that has (and fortunately continue to have) the positive Awakening-like response...this movie hits even deeper than before.
