I've seen <i>The Theory of Everything</i> which is good but <i>A Brief History of Time</i> is the better film on Hawking. <i>Good Will Hunting</i> is definitely essential as it gave Robin Williams his Oscar and gave us Ben Affleck and Matt "I do good Matthew McConaughey impressions" Damon.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-34346208671017601522017-02-09T14:21:52.354-06:002017-02-09T14:21:52.354-06:00HATED The Imitation Game.

It's so sad as well but Cumberbatch played him beautifully. I really love Good Will Hunting and need to revisit it. I loved Robin Williams in that film especially when he talks about the memory of his wife. I am not a fan of The Theory of Everything.
