Good Will Hunting/YMMV

• Crowning Music of Awesome: Elliott Smith's "Miss Misery"
  • Similarly his performance of the song at the Oscars, just before it inevitably lost to "My Heart Will Go On"
  • Also features "Afternoon Delight" well before it was hip or ironic.
• Fan Dumb: This film has become a favorite source of quotes and inspiration for exactly the sort of "don't think, just repeat what you've read/seen" person that Will mocks in one scene.
• Jerkass Woobie: Will.
• Narm: The scene where Chuckie poses as Will in the meeting. The rest of the movie had its humorous moments, but this felt like something out of American Pie.
  • Non Sequitur Scene?
• He Really Can Act: Ben Affleck, a retroactive example. Although he would go on to be known for schlock like Gigli and Pearl Harbor, his Dare to Be Badass speech is one of the most bitter, poignant moments of the film.
  • Applies for Robin Williams acting in a serious role as well.
• Tear Jerker: "It's not your fault."
• Tom Hanks Syndrome: Robin Williams won Best Supporting Actor for his role. However, he didn't abandon comedic roles completely after this, despite his success.
