Good Will Hunting (1997)

Genre: Drama / Author’s Favorites
Directed by: Gus Van Sant
Starring: Robin Williams, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck
Running time: 126 minutes



Will Hunting is a self-taught genius from South Boston with a difficult childhood who works as a janitor at MIT and spends his evenings drinking with friends and getting into fights. After Will solves a complicated math question left on a board in a hall at MIT, Professor Lambeau tries to get him on the right track by working with him and having him see a psychiatrist to work through his issues.

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck wrote this film together. Thanks to a riveting storyline and some brilliant acting, this is a beautiful gem of a film. I have seen it again and again and I still love it. Watching it now makes me miss Robin Williams so much. With the right material, he could be so brilliant.
