Good Will Hunting (1997)Directed by Gus Van Sant, rated R, 126 minutes
Good Will Hunting is an inspiring and moving drama about an unruly MIT janitor who's discovered by a math professor to be a genius, but who needs help from a psychologist to get his life on track. Matt Damon is flawless as the unlikely genius and plays off well with Robin Williams, who is likable and explosive as the despondent psychologist. It's always fun to see someone overcoming extreme odds, but the film is more than that, really exploring the characters. 
Despite feeling a little unrealistic at times, Good Will Hunting isn't simplistic or obvious, and deals with some serious issues with tact and meaning. You'll like it if: You like coming-of-age dramas, films involving math, Robin Williams, A Beautiful Mind, Finding Forrester or The Fisher King.
