🌈 What Dreams May Come (VHS, 1999 — Robin Williams, originally released 1998) — technicolor afterlife, soul-bound romance, and metaphysical visuals that dared to ask what love looks like beyond death
Directed by Vincent Ward, this surreal drama stars Robin Williams as Dr. Chris Nielsen, who dies in a car accident and awakens in a heaven shaped by his wife’s paintings. When she later dies by suicide and is condemned to hell, Chris risks eternal damnation to rescue her—journeying through painterly dreamscapes, memory fragments, and philosophical reckonings. With Cuba Gooding Jr., Annabella Sciorra, and Max von Sydow, the film blends tragedy, fantasy, and spiritual devotion into a one-of-a-kind visual experience.
🍅 Rotten Tomatoes Score:

📺 Family Guy Reference:
In the episode “Brian’s Got a Brand New Bag,” Peter Griffin refuses to let What Dreams May Come even touch his copy of Road House, threatening the cashier with violence if they come into contact. The DVD ends up in a sad pile of neglected titles, singing “Maybe” from Annie alongside Enemy Mine and Mad Dog and Glory
