Good Will Hunting
How do you like them apples? School may be out for summer, but we’re giving you the chance to audit one of the great masterclasses in acting of the 1990s – Gus Van Sant’s heartfelt ode to unsung genius and working-class heroes, written by and starring then up-and-comers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck with earnest and magnificent performances by Stellan Skarsgård and Robin Williams. Will Hunting is the most brilliant janitor you’ve ever met, but his hot temper is holding him back. With the help of an empathetic psychology professor and the love of a good woman, maybe he can break through to the life his mind deserves. With nine Oscar nominations and wins for Robin Williams and Affleck and Damon for original screenplay and a soundtrack that includes Elliot Smith, this moving drama is in a class by itself!
