Good Will Hunting looks promising for our next movie night. Does it get a conversation going afterwards?

siobhan_fitzgerald · 29 Oct 2026, 22:08 UTC

Ronan, agreed on keeping the pitch short. I want a reason to try it without knowing every turn.

Good Will Hunting is one I am weighing up. The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.

Cian, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

For anyone considering Good Will Hunting: I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.
