The 5 best and worst Ben Affleck movies, ranked

Published by Business Insider on Wed, 16 Mar 2016


Whether you're a fan of his work or not, chances are you have some opinion about the body of work of Ben Affleck.He'sbeen inescapable.The actor has close to 50 credits to his name over a career that has quite a few highs and as many lows.And in a career not lacking forsharp criticism(whether it be over his questionable ascent to leaning-man rolesor his work opposite onetime fiance Jennifer Lopez), he's opened the gatesfor what could be epic blowback from fans bytaking on Batmanin the much-anticipated"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," out March 25.Before we start nitpicking about his version of the Dark Knight, though, let's rank his best and worst performances so far.SEE ALSO:RANKED: Every actor who's played Batman, from best to worstWORST: 5. 'Reindeer Games' (2000)In what can only be explained as a favor to the Weinsteins for making "Good Will Hunting" (this was released by the company's genre arm, Dimension), Affleck stars in this campy thriller/love story in which he plays an ex-con who is forced into robbing a casino. WORST: 4. 'Surviving Christmas' (2004)When a movie with Christmas in the title comes out in October, you know something is wrong. In fact, this comedy starringAffleck as a millionaire who spends Christmas in the house he grew up in (along with the family that currently lives there) was supposed to come out around Christmas 2003, but it got pushed back. We're guessing test screenings weren't favorable, because there's a reason you don't see Affleck in comedies like these anymore: He's just not good at them.WORST: 3. 'Runner Runner' (2013)It's understandable why Affleck was drawn to the role of a crooked entrepreneur who runs an offshore betting site: He's a big fan of poker. But why Justin Timberlake or anyone else followed along is anyone's guess. Perhaps because the movie was written by the same guys who did "Rounders,"but the end result this time is a messy story with laughable dramatic moments.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
