Every Matt Damon Movie Ranked Worst To Best

4. The Talented Mr Ripley (1999)

One of the best films of 1999 (and that's saying a lot), The Talented Mr Ripley finds now-A-lister Damon playing manipulative conman Tom Ripley, who does everything in his power to become the man he most admires (Jude Law).

It's clever in its execution, a vibrant character study bursting with sinister suspense, dark humour and witty dialogue. Damon has rarely been better, and watching him here it's clear how he has become such a big Hollywood name.
