What is your favorite Matt Damon movie?

I’m not asking what’s the best MD movie, I’m asking what is your favorite?
(BTW, his best movie is “The Departed”)
MD gets a lot flack, saying he’s mildly retarded, etc, but his resume may be one of the greatest resumes of any current actor under 60 years old.
My favorite movie starring MD is “The Martian”, just edging out “Interstellar” by a hair.
“The Martian” is just a great, fun watch.
I’m guessing most will say “Saving Private Ryan” is their favorite and his best movie. I have no problem with that, it’s a great movie.

The antique Tiger,
I can’t agree with you on Matt Damon “starring in” either Interstellar or Saving Private Ryan. Great work but he wasn’t the star of either.
His greatest work was without a doubt the SNL Weezer skit he did 3-5 years ago. Greatest movie…Elysieum just cause I want to see how many people will read a paragraph of someone else’s opinion. & knowing this board, I can use upvotes & downvotes on any pro snl or immigrant metaphor movie message to gauge how many people actually finished reading this block of text.

I just looked up his filmography, and counted 89 movies he's done as an actor which is way more than I expected. I only saw 27 of those movies.
I think I enjoyed his character best in The Martian, but he was also a great back-stabber in Interstellar, which went against his usual likable/rootable type roles.
While he's been a polarizing/prickly figure at times offscreen, I'm hard-pressed to name a movie character of his I've seen that wasn't entertaining.

Watched Good Will Hunting for the millionth time this past Saturday because the gf had never seen it. It’s probably in my top 5 of all time, so that one

"Rounders"!

Wasn't that all a joke stemming from what his dummy looked like in Team America? Do people really think he's retarded? I've never heard that I don't think.
ETA:
By the way, the best movie he was in is School Ties. But my favorite is either Rounders or Ocean's Eleven, with Rounders likely edging out the win.

Good Will Hunting
I think this is the runaway winner for him in a starting role.
Saving Private Ryan for him in a supporting role.
Eurotrip for him in a cameo appearance.

My favorite movie that he's in is probably Oceans 11, but wouldn't call it a "Matt Damon movie"
I'd agree that my favorite movie he's the lead in is The Martian. It's very close though, there are better movies and others that I love, but that is just such an enjoyable flick.
Spinoff: Favorite Matt Damon Cameo. There are tons of great ones.

I like the one where he buys the zoo. Underrated family flick.
ETA: the Departed is my favorite movie that he’s in. His Asgard cameo was funny as well.

Puppet Matt Damon as a leading member of the F.A.G. Group is his peak performance.
Same goes for Alec Baldwin.

Rounders, Good Will Hunting, The Departed, The Bourne Series (first is best but all 3 are really good), Courage under fire, Ocean's Eleven, The Good Shepherd, Ford v Ferrari, The Martian and Stillwater are what I'd consider my favorites.
Rounders probably my top of the list but it's tough.
I don't necessarily consider Private Ryan a Damon movie even though he's in it and is the title character, otherwise I'd have it included as well.

Probably The Martian, followed by The Bourne Identity.
