    My favourite Matt Damon film has to be Saving Private Ryan and not because of him either, 😉

    I also enjoyed the Bourne trilogy.

    I saw Hereafter recently, Matt plays a reluctant psychic, it was directed by Clint Eastwood. I didn’t like it.

    Good work as usual Cogerson. Oh and that Clint Eastwood page is overdue… [wink]

    Nice movie on Matt Damon!!! I think the Talented Mr. Ripley is the weirdest Damon movie I’ve seen. Adjustment Bureau and Good Will Hunting probably my faves of him. Great job!

      Thank you Emilybee….I have been trying to see The Adjustment Bureau the last two weekends…maybe the third weekend will be the charm.

    I really like Ben Affleck and Matt Damon – would like to see them together in another film. I have enjoyed their movies – The Bourne films were really good. Thanks for all the information. GREAT SPEECH AT THE OSCARS…

      I am glad you liked the hub BERN1960…..the Bourne movies are all very well made…..the next Bourne movie will not star Matt Damon….not sure how that is going to work

    While Matt Damon has never been among my favorite movie stars, he’s made some good films. He’s fun in the Jason Bourne films. The Departed was a best picture winner, although I preferred the original Hong Kong version of that one. Damon’s two latest films, True Grit and Adjustment Bureau, are very good. I didn’t think Titan A.E. was all that bad.

      Hey Rob. I have been working on a James Stewart for what seems like forever….and I realized I had most of Matt Damon’s movies already done so I threw this one out there real quick. I gained some new respect for him after looking at his body of work…..I am thinking he is the new “Harrison Ford”….I agree with you that Titan A.E. was actually pretty good….back in 2000 I do not think they knew how to market movies like Titan ….thanks for reading and commenting.

    This is a comprehensive list for Matt Damon fans. I’m not one of them, but I like his political views.

      Thanks for reading Faye…He is not one of my favorites either……but as I was researching the hub…I noticed pretty much all his movies make money and audiences and critics like his movies.
