American History X is his best performance by far. Rounders is second.

I really liked Rounders.

yes after seeing Rounders i no longer thought Matt Damon was a pussy. Until of course he went and did Legend of bagger Vance and the Talented Mr Ripley. He has came back strong though with the Bourne series as well as all the Ocean series.

The only part of Rounders that I really liked was when Damon told all the judges what they were holding. It makes me chuckle just thinking about it.

Junkie, if you haven't seen Primal Fear, see it. I thought he was better in that than in American History X

American history X makes me think he could play the Hulk. But really it is not the most demanding of roles. Even Lou Ferrigno could handle it.

I loved the ending - just before the credits roll, the Pixies kick in, nice and loud. "You met me at a very strange time in my life.

Edward Norton is one of my favorite actors if not my very favorite... I thought he was awesome to in Fight Club... seeing his body transform from Fight Club to American History X is nothing short of amazing. He got absolutely huge in that show... my favorite part of him is when he curbs that dude and then drops to his knees to be handcuffed.. he had this crazy psycho look on his face... great show.

The "Where is My Mind" song from the Pixies was perfect for that final scene as they watch all the building blow...
