n "Patch Adams," Robin Williams plays a medical maverick who finds no situation too grim for a guffaw. He develops the theory that the best way to treat a dying patient who wants one last safari is to shock the man out of a sound sleep with balloon animals, for example. Naturally, the establishment is slow to appreciate Patch, to the point where he winds up making a heartfelt courtroom-style speech in defense of his methods. Here's a film for anyone who'd like to hear Williams declaim, "If we're going to fight a disease, let's fight one of the most terrible diseases of all: indifference!"
