This article will focus on the films of Matt Damon. Damon is a native of Boston, Massachusetts and has been starring in great movies since the early 1990s. At such an early stage of his career, it is amazing that he has already won an Oscar. What is even more amazing is that it wasn't for acting. I have no doubts that one of those awards will come his way soon enough.
Let's discuss some of Matt Damon's best films so far in his career.
The first movie on this list that I will mention is The Talented Mr. Ripley. Matt Damon stars as the title character that is sent on a mission to bring back a spoiled rich boy, played by Jude Law. This movie is better than I make it sound.
One movie that has to be on any Matt Damon best-of list is Good Will Hunting. This is the movie that exposed Damon to the nation, and what a great movie to get the job done. This is a fantastic movie and a great one to watch with a teenage son or daughter.
One movie that absolutely has to be discussed as one of the best Damon films, if not the best, is Saving Private Ryan. Damon plays Private Ryan, a solider who is trapped behind enemy lines during World War 2. This movie is directed by Steven Spielberg and is one of the better movies of all time.
When it comes to movies directed by Kevin Smith, my favorite film is definitely Dogma. This movie stars Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Linda Fiorentino, Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes. This is a great comedy from a great director.
The final movie that makes the cut for me is the The Departed. This Martin Scorsese cat and mouse crime thriller has an all star cast consisting of Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Alec Baldwin, Jack Nicholson, Martin Sheen and Vera Farmiga.
As it stands, this is my all-time Matt Damon list. I have little doubt that I will have to readjust this list for years to come.
