Let's try a couple of movies with a little more similarity to each other..

Is it the movie with the schizophrenic genius or the childhood scarred genius?

have you seen either?

I liked both, but ABM had a few twists in the story that made it worth watching.

I prefer Good Will Hunting.

"Do you like apples? Well I got her number. How do you like them apples?"

Pwned.

Dude, if you want to watch GWH, just do it. Don't look to an internet message board to make the decision for you.

Heh, the story it was based on is true, the movie is a work of fiction with major parts of his life left out or altered

Best pwning from GWH:

"Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? That's a tough one, but I'll give it a shot. Say I'm working at N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. So I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels were hiding and fifteen hundred people I never had a problem with get killed. Now the politicians are sayin', "Send in the marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a sh!t. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number was called, 'cause they were pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some guy from Southie takin' shrapnel in the a$$. And he comes home to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his a$$ got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile my buddy from Southie realizes the only reason he was over there was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And of course the oil companies used the skirmish to scare up oil prices so they could turn a quick buck. A cute little ancillary benefit for them but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. And naturally they're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and play slalom with the icebergs, and it ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's got to walk to the job interviews, which sucks 'cause the shrapnel in his a$$ is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids. And meanwhile he's starvin' 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat the only blue plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what do I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. Why not just shoot my buddy, take his job and give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president.

Thats why this movie rocks....

HAHA - Yeah, Matt Damon is so cool in GWH - with some amazing lines. Movie just puts me down so much though towards the end with what happens between Driver and Damon (forget their character names). ABM is an amazing all around movie, and while the end is so corny, its a really great movie.

I was pissed when I bought the GWH DVD and found out it wasn't anamorphic. The transfer quality wasn't all that good, either. :|
