One actor who has always gotten a bad rap, but has managed to persevere, is Ben Affleck. Like most major Hollywood actors, he has gone through a bit of a dark period, but has bounced back in a big way. He has recently begun to get his hands in directing and so far, has showed a lot of promise.In my opinion, the following five movies are the best films that have starred, featured or been directed by Ben Affleck.One movie that certainly is one of my favorites of his is The Town. This movie focuses on the Charlestown, an area in Boston that is apparently notorious for crime and robberies. This movie also stars Jeremy Renner, John Hamm and features Chris Cooper.Another movie that I would include on this list is Mallrats. Of the films that have starred Ben Affleck and have been directed by Kevin Smith, Mallrats is right near the top of the list for me. It is a silly film that pretty much all takes place in a mall, but Jason Lee is fantastic in this one.No list of Ben Affleck f ilms would be complete without mentioning Good Will Hunting. While Affleck and Matt Damon had been in other films prior to Good Will Hunting, this was the movie that established them as a force to reckon with. One of the best movies of the 1990s, hands down.The next movie that makes the list for me is Gone Baby Gone. This is a tough movie to get through, and in a lot of ways is similar to Mystic River. Both deal with a crime in Boston and have a similar feel to them.One other movie that I would include on this list is Extract. This is the newest comedy from Mike Judge, who also happened to direct Office Space and is the creator of Beavis and Butthead. This is certainly a different role for Affleck.As it stands, this is my Ben Affleck best-of list. I am incredibly excited for any future films that he needs to direct.
