A Few Of The Most Memorable Movies From The Incredibly Popular Actor, Matt Damon

By Michael James


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.

Another awesome Matt Damon movies is Good Will Hunting. There is little doubt that this is the film that put both Damon and Ben Affleck on the map. In fact, they also wrote the screenplay together, for which they received an Academy Award.

Ocean's Twelve is another film that I will include on this list. I loved the first film, Ocean's Eleven, but Matt Damon has a bigger role in the second installment. This is the movie where they let Linus (Damon's character) take on a bigger part of the heist.

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 last movie that I will mention on this list is The Departed. This is easily one of the best movies of the past decade and Damon was a big part of the reason why. Both Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio are fantastic in this movie.

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.
