The Greatest Matt Damon Performances So Far


Matt Damon is a pretty good actor. I wouldn’t say he is the best out there, since many of his roles are similar, but I really like the guy and I like most of the movies he stars in. I also like that he does not take himself too seriously, which is indicated by his ridiculous roles in Eurotrip and on Entourage.

When it comes to choosing the greatest Matt Damon films thus far, here are some of my favorites.

Rounders is one film that definitely makes the list for me. Rounders is a movie about playing poker and hustling. This movie also stars Edward Norton, as well as John Malkovich in one of my favorite roles of his career.

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.

One film that certainly makes the list for me is The Bourne Identity. This first film in the now trilogy of Bourne movies sets the pace for the saga. Although Jason Bourne cannot remember what happened to him in this movie, he knows he can kick some butt.

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.
