    Good Will Hunting...one of the greatest movies ever.

    If you remember Good Will Hunting only for its cussing, then you're not watching it right..

    I have a friend who met Matt Damon on several occasions by accident- she was traveling for business and her company placed her in the same hotel where Damon was staying. She kept running into him at random in the lobby, the bar etc. One day she was waiting for the elevator, the doors open, and Matt Damon is standing there, and she says to him, "you've got to stop doing this" and he laughed. We have a running joke about Matt Damon stalking her. She said he's really nice, though.
  • I'm still annoyed Good Will Hunting didn't win best picture, and I wasn't even born then
  • I just saw Good Will Hunting and I regret not seeing it earlier.Honestly one of the greatest films I have ever seen.The acting was so good Robin Williams performance and all the cast was amazing to watch.
  • About 15 years ago when I was a kid, I was sitting on a plane while everyone was boarding. I was wearing a Yankee hat. From out of nowhere, someone said to me: "Yankees suck." I looked up, and it was Matt Damon, in full denim, wearing a Red Sox hat. We laughed. I couldn't believe it. Later while in flight, the movie that was showing was Ocean's 12. I went up to first class and asked Matt if he would sign my plane program over the Ocean's 12 blurb. He asked my name and happily signed. That program was pinned to my refrigerator until I went to college. He couldn't have been a nicer guy. We were on our way back from Miami and I later found out that he had just proposed to his girlfriend who is still his wife.

    I never really realized that Matt Damon looks like he's grown into his dad-ness.

    Who let Damon out of Kimmel's basement?

    Matt Damon has a 19 year old daughter. I'm feeling indescribably old right now.

    The Park bench scene in Good Will Hunting is the best monologue I’ve ever seen in a film. Damon’s scripts and Robin Williams did that scene so beautifully!
  • @nancyhey1012
    The Will Hunting character did cuss a lot. He had a rough life, and a hard childhood, was abused by his stepfather, and so cussing a lot made him feel tough , to mask his vulnerabilities. However, his therapist, played by Robin Williams, did not normally use that kind of language, but copied Will’s language during the sessions. Most people theorize that it was to prove to Will that he did not feel superior to him.

    He is one of those actors that has always been attractive, but he's gotten moreso with age. Love him
