Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)

This beloved Robin Williams comedy may have plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, but it's a heartfelt tale about family at its core.

When it clashes with his wife Miranda's (Sally Field) structured, locked-down philosophy, the pair head for divorce. Stripped of access to his children and desperate to be part of their lives, Daniel transforms into "Mrs. Doubtfire", the perfect elderly British nanny. Hired by an unsuspecting Miranda, Daniel uses his new persona to get closer to his kids. But when he becomes an indispensable part of the family, Daniel's double life grows ever more complicated.
