Matt Damon's Most Impressive Roles In Throughout His Career

By Michael James


Matt Damon is a pretty good actor. I wouldn't say he is the best out there, since many of his roles are similar, but I really like the guy and I like most of the movies he stars in. I also like that he does not take himself too seriously, which is indicated by his ridiculous roles in Eurotrip and on Entourage.

Let's discuss some of Matt Damon's best films so far in his career.

The first movie that I will discuss is Rounders. Damon stars as an up and coming, yet troubled poker player named Mike McDermott. This is a suspenseful movie and one of the better gambling movies around.

Another awesome Matt Damon movies is Good Will Hunting. There is little doubt that this is the film that put both Damon and Ben Affleck on the map. In fact, they also wrote the screenplay together, for which they received an Academy Award.

One movie that absolutely has to be discussed as one of the best Damon films, if not the best, is Saving Private Ryan. Damon plays Private Ryan, a solider who is trapped behind enemy lines during World War 2. This movie is directed by Steven Spielberg and is one of the better movies of all time.

One other film that I definitely have to mention is The Bourne Identity. The Bourne movies are based on the character made famous in the novels by Robert Ludlum, and while the action is better in the second film, the first installment is wherever everything begins.

The last movie that I will mention on this list is The Departed. This is easily one of the best movies of the past decade and Damon was a big part of the reason why. Both Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio are fantastic in this movie.

Hopefully there are one or more films starring Matt Damon on this list that you have not yet seen.
