Is Good Will Hunting the Best Movie Ever?

Okay I know it came out 12 years ago and this isn't news, but I still love it.

First of all, it takes place in Beantown, which gives it instant credibility. The camaraderie between Will and his friends seems real... it's hard to believe that they're only acting. Affleck is especially convincing, I think it's one of the best performances of his career. He plays the role of Will's best friend perfectly. Robin Williams turns in an Academy Award winning performance for Best Supporting Actor as Will's mentor. Watching Will mature through the movie is incredible and the movie can be watched over and over again.

Here's the pivotal scene. It gets pretty dusty in the room whenever I watch it:



This one's great too:
