Good Will Hunting
Ben Affleck became the actor we know and love from a movie that he and his friend wrote when they were younger. That friend? Oh, you know, just Matt Damon. Then they got Robin Williams to star in the movie with them, and thus Good Will Hunting was born.
It made for an incredible start to the boys from Boston. The movie put both Affleck and Damon on the map and earned plenty of acclaim. All that praise is deserved though, because it is an incredible movie and one that people are still talking about to this day.
Honestly, maybe that is what is missing from both Affleck and Damon’s careers now. Wouldn’t it be nice if they went back to writing and brought us more work like this instead of focusing on acting? The movie, while an introspective look on intellect and connection, was incredible at the time and continues to be praised as a great cinematic work.
If that doesn’t appeal to you, Affleck is super young and attractive in the movie. Honestly, young Ben Affleck is a babe, so it at least won’t be a waste of your time. Watch Good Will Hunting for the content but also the cutest Affleck.
