omigod I forgot about Bounce ("his best performance to date!" according to lots of people).

armageddon will walk this.

in hindsight, i probably should have excluded it - Willis is the bigger star, plenty of ensemble action. Not a Ben Affleck Vehicle

prob prefer daredevil to anything else

Reindeer Games. not seen it.

lol

Its shocking to see just how shit that string of movies is. His cameo in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was the best thing he did during this run, but since its not an option... I'm going to have to vote Jersey Girl just because I will lol when I see the 1 vote it gets.

His cameo in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was the best thing he did during this run, but since its not an option... he was the bomb in Phantoms yo.

I haven't seen that, sounds like I may need to.

i have seen exactly 0 of these movies

phantoms like a motherfucker iirc

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Where's Boiler Room? That one's horribly amazing.

i only saw Armageddon and Jersey Girl, what do i win?

Criterion Collection film, Armageddon

I seem to remember I really enjoyed Changing Lanes, though I haven't thought about it in years.

^^ yeah that

I couldn't tell you what the movie was about except that there was a car crash and multiple stories? but I remember enjoying it

i liked changing lanes as well, though i also remember little of it

armageddon owns

I think I've only seen Jersey Girl. Weird.

Reindeer Games is the best of this list that I've actually seen.

armaggedon, reindeer games or the sum of all fears

okay i haven't seen it, but how can reindeer games be good?

its john frankenheimer!

gary sinise is in it!

its john frankenheimer!

Correct! Also, Charlize Theron before she became Charlize Theron-bot.

Huh?

reindeer games is really bad

i saw it when it came out being all like 'frankenheimer! sinise!' too but afterwards i was just like :|

Where's Boiler Room? That one's horribly amazing.

^^would've voted for this. jeez these are some terrible movies - I have seen reindeer games and jersey girl and remember absolutely nothing about them.

i've also seen gigli, daredevil and pearl harbor and wish i could remember absolutely nothing about them.

Huh?

It was during the brief time her career was on the rise, before she was being cast in five out of every ten films being made playing essentially the same character, and well before she stepped back and started choosing her roles carefully. So pre-ubiquity and pre-pre-awards.

Yeah, I don't really ever remember thinking of her being in every other film and playing the same character repeatedly but I may just not of seem much of whatever you're referring to.

to be clear reindeer games is pretty mediocre; i was just answering horseshoes question of "how"

yeah but it's John Frankenheimer

tbh I haven't seen Reindeer Games in a number of years, but I like what I remember of it.

I remember Changing Lanes having so much promise based on the trailer, but it stunk out loud.

thought changing lanes was really trite & boring tbh

Changing Lanes, easy.

Where's Boiler Room? That one's horribly amazing.

Movies where Affleck's role is smaller than Giovanni Ribisi's and Vin Deisel's combined were not included.

haha wait that makes no sense - of course his is smaller when they're combined. I mean when he's basically doing an Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross glorified cameo.

If Armageddon wins that'll just be straight proof that the best Ben Affleck movies of this period were films were ones that weren't really about Ben Affleck.

gotta give him major points for somehow morphing into nu-Clint Eastwood after this run and not into some bloated celebrity poker playing Michael Madsen type

or replacing Skeet Ulrich in Law & Order: LA

affleck can't quite shake the baby-fat - no matter how buff he gets, no matter how rugged his jawline he still sort of seems like a kid. so when he tried that routine in boiler room it was just awful - i had to watch through my fingers

Huh?

people were so traumatized by having to look at Charlize Theron all the time that they've suppressed all memories of her reign of terror, poor dears

i mean, that year that she was in Sweet November AND 15 Minutes AND Curse of the Jade Scorpion, gosh, you just couldn't get away from her

I would probably have voted for Boiler Room too, but it clearly doesn't qualify as a film that stars Ben Affleck. Now I'm starting to wonder if I rewatched Changing Lanes, if it would still be any good. Still, it has no real competition in this poll.

of these, I've seen Daredevil, Pearl Harbor and Forces of Nature

I only remember Daredevil and Pearl Harbor

voting Forces of Nature

I vaguely remember thinking Changing Lanes was "ok".

The only other one of these I can remember seeing is Daredevil. I vaguely remember thinking it was "not ok".

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

happy to say I've not seen one, life has its rewatds
