“For the first time in his life he’s about to meet his match.” This enduring 90s classic is almost always a wholesome, invigorating watch anytime and anyplace. Good Will Hunting originally opened in theaters in December of 1997, some 27 years ago. It was the film that gave Ben Affleck & Matt Damon their first Oscar. And Robin Williams won a much deserved Oscar as well for his performance as Dr. Sean Maguire. Starring Robin Williams, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck, Good Will Hunting shows the most brilliant mind at America’s top university isn’t a student, he is the kid who cleans the floors… Will is a headstrong, working-class genius who is failing the lessons of life. After one too many run-ins with the law, Will’s last chance is a psychology professor, who might be the only man who can reach him. Finally forced to deal with his past, Will discovers that the only one holding him back is himself.

The GWH cast also includes Cole Hauser, Minnie Driver, and Stellan Skarsgård. If you haven’t seen it in a while, give this a watch this weekend.
