1. Ben Affleck & Matt Damon - Good Will Hunting
The infamous tale of how Good Will Hunting came about is one which inspires and scares many upcoming writers. Before the 1997 hit Gus Van Sant directed drama was a success, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were new to the whole film game, nobodies with an insanely good script in their hands; it was a bitter sweet scenario for the industry. Studios wanted change, they wanted different actors and different directors involved. Yet friends Affleck and Damon fought hard for their cause and got the right contract and in the end the right, envisioned film. This proved how cut throat the industry can be but with persistence, how something so special can be created. The film explores fame and fortune in a very human, down to earth way, the perfect example of actors channelling their feelings through a script.
