Product Description
Armageddon is a 1998 disaster/science fiction-action film about a group of blue-collar deep-core drillers who are sent by NASA to stop an Asteroid on a collision course with Earth. It was directed by Michael Bay, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and released on Disney's Touchstone Pictures label. It stars Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, Michael Clarke Duncan, Peter Stormare and Steve Buscemi. Armageddon arrived in theaters only two and a half months after a similar impact-based movie, Deep Impact, which starred Morgan Freeman. Astronomers described Deep Impact as being more scientifically accurate, and it was better received by critics, but Armageddon fared better at the box office. Due to a fire that destroyed the master print of the film, if Armageddon were to be released on Blu-ray, it would have to be remastered. ... Read more

Product Description
As director Gus Van Sant observes in the introduction to Matt Damon's and Ben Affleck's screenplay Good Will Hunting, the two young actors somewhat resemble the characters they play in the film: they're best friends, and Affleck (who plays Chuckie) habitually chauffeurs Damon (Will), who doesn't drive. Van Sant says we can see how badly Damon drives by watching the film's last scene, in which he is actually driving the car with the camera mounted on it. But Damon and company write better than he drives; this script contains some of the boldest, best monologues since Pulp Fiction.Van Sant and cast member Robin Williams helped the young actors tame the tigers in their cranial tanks, trimming the script into a precision instrument. Though the stills from the film are not perfectly matched to their places in the script, this story remains as much a joy to read as it is towatch on the big screen.Amazon.com Review

Good Will Hunting
I enjoyed the final script with all of the stage directions, music overlay,etc. almost as much as I enjoyed the movie.I think Matt Damon and Ben Affleck should write another great screenplay for both of them.

"How do you like them Apples"
This was a hit for Affleck & Damon, I own very few DVD'sthis is on eof my favorites. The cast of characters fit well together.
Robin Williams always delivers a dynamic believable real performance, subtle humor in an beautiful written drama.

I found a lot of personal connection to Will in this movie. His complacancy in life reveals his hestitation to step outisde the bounds of his comfort zone and really let his Gaurd down to become who he can.

There are so many great moments in this movie from the animated dialogue between Will and numerous therapists & Sean ( Robin Willimas), to his running in with bloated Ego's of College preps.

Good Will Hunting inspires us all to seek knowledge using what resources or devices we have available. An inspiring entertaining film.

Favorite lines:
Sean to Will: "Maybe *you're* perfect right now. Maybe you don't wanna ruin that. I think that's a super philosophy, Will; that way you can go through your entire life without ever having to really know anybody..."

Will to College prep: "See, the sad thing about a guy like you is in 50 years you're gonna start doing some thinkin on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certaintees in life. One, don't do that. And Two, you dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a f***n education you coulda got for a dollar fifty in late chahges at the public library"

Sean to Will: after he tells the Story ( passion energy & detail of Fisk HR of Game 6 World Series of which he had tickets to.. , "Sorry, guys; I gotta see about a girl."<----That entire dialogue was amazing!

Sean to Will:"If I ask you about women, you'll probably give me a syllabus of your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman... and feel truly happy."

Sean to Will: ..."My wife..She had all sorts of wonderful little idiosyncrasies. She used to fart in her sleep. I thought I'd share that with you. One night it was so loud it woke the dog up. She woke up and went `ah was that you?' And I didn't have the heart to tell her. Oh!"
...."Ah...! But Will, ..... Those are the things I miss the most. The little idiosyncrasies that only I know about: that's what made her my wife. Oh she had the goods on me too, she knew all my little peccadilloes. People call these things imperfections, but there not. Ah, that's the good stuff."

Brilliant in its simplicity
This script is sheer perfection, brilliant in its simplicity.My goal is to learn to write like that!

Great Screenplay of a Great Movie
This is a great story--a tale about guys in their early twenties living in working-class Boston.One of them, Will, just happens to be a genius, with a photographic memory.He is also an abused orphan who doesn't trust anyone but his friends and seems content to do construction and janitorial work.When an M.I.T. professor of mathematics catches him solving a nearly impossible proof one evening after all of the students have left, he is intrigued.

After Will gets into trouble with the law, which is a fairly common occurrence for him, the professor steps in and agrees to work with him and get him counseling if the judge will agree not to send him to jail.Will reluctantly agrees, not really willing to see a therapist.It proves to be difficult to find a therapist who can handle Will; he has read their books and mocks them during therapy sessions.Finally an old college friend of the professor's has a breakthrough and becomes someone that Will can trust.

This is a story about a person learning to take risks in relationships and with his future.The movie was excellent, and the screenplay is very interesting.I hadn't realized that a screenplay has so little direction; it gives me new respect for a film's director as well as the actors and actresses who create three-dimensional characters out of the words ont he page.

Great script of a great movie
The lines such as "How do you like them apples" are classics already.The movie was brilliant and I own the screenplay.A terrific insight into the anatomy of the film. ... Read more
