Good Will Hunting (1997)

I had another movie to watch today but decided to go with this one instead because it was on, and I couldn't stop watching it. I remember how much I loved it that year. I still think its timeless, its truly a great movie. The writing was incredible, fast, and smart. The characters were interesting, sad yet sweet at the same time, and I totally found myself falling back in love with these characters. I love Robin Williams, even in bad movies, he makes them better, but this was truly the perfect part for him. I am so glad he won his oscar for such an amazing part as this was for him. Sean had so much heart, and was so loving and caring to Will, it was heartwarming to watch, and just....well done. Even Ben Afflecks character was sweet and honest. I thought Matt Damon was overlooked here, it was an amazing performance, I think he should have won. Also such a great soundtrack with all those beautiful, haunting Elliott Smith songs. I can't believe I don't own this movie, I need to change that.
