I suggest you to watch 'The Talented Mr. Ripley'. Damon's performance was awesome and thought it would easily be the best among his early works. Haven't seen 'Goodwill Hunting' yet, so will see it before coming to a conclusion.

The Outrage (1964).
Martin Ritt's so and so remake of Rashomon. Like Yojimbo, transplanted to the Western frontier. Since presentation not original, I was checking out the performance. Newman was doing an Eli Wallach. William Shatner proves that even when you tell him there is not much acting to do, he still overacts.
The joy is Edward G. Robinson. What a performer? Such joy watching him act. Ivarukku yen legendary status kudukkalanu theriyila

EGR is a legend. At least in gangster genre, he's up there with Cagney..

Thanks Thilak, kannukku kulirchiya irukku padikkarthukku. He needs recognition for his work. My favourite of his performace: Double Indemnity.
Trivia for Eastwood fans (I know you know this, Thilak): EG Robinson's son is no other than Scorpio in Dirty Harry (sub-trivia to whoever discussing the Zodiac Killer, Scorpio was based on those incidents)

I don't rate Matt Damon highly, but he was pretty good in Good will Hunting.
Grouch,
Have you seen EGR's performance as Nazi Hunter in Welles film, The Stranger?
As for his best, I haven't seen many of his films. But Mankiewicz’s House of Strangers about Italian Immigrants, the Monetti family, evoking King Lear much much before "The Godfather", features one of his best. EGR would have made a fine Corleone.

La règle du jeu
Kood.
It was Britis play type mix-up humour. Mildly funny and all that.
But I am surely missing something as this one is in all time great lists and all that.
I liked Renoir's Le Grande Illusion a whole lot more.

EGR as Corleone...that would be lovely, too bad Brando owned it. I have not seen those films, will definitely look out for it. Thanks.
And I wonder if Damon has written any scripts after that...there was controversy about the ownership of GWH script. Goldman admitted that he helped the boys a bit, still....

Double Indemnity (1944) revisit.
Continuing EGR tribute. Script is the hero here, Raymond Chandler and Billy Wilder Chandler disliked the James Cain book, and said that everything Cain touches "smells like billy goat". But what an awesome film it turned out to be. Wilder and Chandler couldn't stand each other and unfortunately, this is the only collaboration.
EGR and his little man
