The March movie: From Rotten Tomatoes: Good Will Hunting is a 1997 film directed by Gus Van Sant, and stars Matt Damon, Robin Williams, Stellan Skarsgard and Minnie Driver. Will Hunting (Matt Damon) has a genius-level IQ but chooses to work as a janitor at MIT. When he solves a difficult graduate-level math problem, his talents are discovered by Professor Gerald Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgard), who decides to help the misguided youth reach his potential. When Will is arrested for attacking a police officer, Professor Lambeau makes a deal to get leniency for him if he will get treatment from therapist Sean Maguire (Robin Williams). The story is from an original screenplay by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
