[def28]

Hollywoodland
The Directors Cut: Daredevil
Good Will Hunting
Jersey Girl
Shakespeare in Love
School Ties
Chasing Amy

I haven't seen The Town but I hear it's good.

 

[Loki882]

What, Affleck was in Shakespeare in Love, I didn't remember seeing him (I haven't seen the movie in several years)?

 

[CGHulk]

Ben Affleck movie quote from Shakespeare in Love, "What is the play and what is my part?"

No, All suck, close thread.

Hollywoodland.
The Town.
Argo.

Haven't seen Chasing Amy and Goodwill Hunting but heard good things about them, I will check those out soon.

 

[rayc1971]

is his thread for reel the town and argo were good movies and Hollywoodland was pretty darn good too!

 

[flickchick85]

I agree with all the main ones being mentioned now, but I'd also add that, while it's been a long time since I've seen them, as I recall, Changing Lanes and Boiler Room weren't too bad, either.

 

[def28]

Boiler Room was decent from what I remember.

Hollywoodland
Jersey Girl
State of Play
Chasing Amy
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Dogma

 

[dude stannis]

There cast possibly be a better case of thread necromancy in SHH history.

Argo
The Town
Gone Baby Gone
Hollywoodland
DareDevil: DC
Armageddon
State of Play

And being the best Batman ever.

Wow. how did anyone find this relic lol? 2006. I didn't know we still had threads from that far back (7 years).

Ever heard about the search engine? All you need is to search a word, and with all the talk about him i thought Affleck was a nice word to search for

 

[The Guard]

Affleck himself is usually at least solid in anything he's in, including movies that I don't consider good, like Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, etc.

But actual good movies?

Good Will Hunting
Chasing Amy
Armageddon
Reindeer Games
Dogma
Daredevil (It's not a bad film, just a mediocre one)
The Sum of All Fears (one of his better younger performances)
Jersey Girl
Hollywoodland
Smokin' Aces
State of Play (overlooked by many)
The Town
Argo
The Company Men

To The Wonder is supposed to be really good as well.

 

[Loki882]

I forgot State of Play and Boiler Room, good thing other remembered. I haven't seen The Company Men yet (I hear its really good).

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

Good Will Hunting
Chasing Amy
Gone Baby, Gone
Hollywoodland
The Town
Argo

And in my humble opinion, the Daredevil Director's Cut is pretty underrated.

 

[Rocketman]

No love for Paycheck?!?!

I haven't seen To The Wonder , but I hear it's good. I think Ben is good when he's not just doing it for a paycheck.

I'm just going to quote Bullets, here. But my personal faves are Argo, The Town, Hollywoodland, Dogma, Daredevil (DC), and State of Play

Why? Nothing seems to be out of order here. People are just talking. I've only skimmed over the last few posts but banning seems a bit excessive dont you think?

 

[pr0xyt0xin]

It's funny. When this thread was made, I couldn't have named a single one where Affleck is the leading role.

Now its like this:

Lead:
The Town
Argo

Supporting:
Good Will Hunting
Smokin' Aces

I haven't seen Hollywoodland or Shakespeare in Love. And I haven't really liked anything Kevin Smith has done since I was like 16.

 

[Gianakin_]

I'd strongly suggest Chasing Amy, if you haven't seen it. Kevin Smith brings the best out of Ben (and can pinpoint some of his acting weaknesses in the process, see Jersey Girl).

Any thread that goes for more than a year without a post should be closed and archived. This one was over seven years inactive before being zombified for no real reason. Take it out back and shoot it in the head, like any good zombie deserves.

You monster, what if Simon Pegg had done the same thing to Nick Frost in Shaun of the Dead?
