Almost 30 years ago, "Good Will Hunting" graced our theaters. It's one of those films you're glad to have seen — and wish you could see again for the first time. For then-obscure, now-legendary best friends Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, it was their first co-written script, and it earned them an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Not a bad debut. The film essentially launched both of their careers.
But what has always stood out to me isn't the math, the Boston accents, or even the "how do you like them apples" moment. It's Robin Williams' remarkably restrained performance as therapist Sean Maguire. This certainly wasn't his first dramatic turn, but it's the one that has stayed with me longest.
