Good Will Hunting is my favorite movie he was in....and he was only a supporting actor (although, he did get writing credits on it. I think Matt Damon was just being nice though).

he is "everyman", that is his charm. the US version of Hugh Grant. Attractive, bland, fvckable.

Now you're just being silly.

(And this is coming from someone who doesn't like Ben Affleck as an actor.)

Good Will Hunting
Shakespeare in Love
Boiler Room

That's about it. A couple were mediocre and most were amazingly awful. He's been riding that writing Oscar his entire career. If he wasn't friends with Damon he'd be working in Summerstock.

He was pretty good in Boiler Room, although he's too much of a pretty-boy to be as intimidating as he should have been.
