Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have appeared together in 10 films, spanning more than 35 years from Field of Dreams (1989) to The Rip (2026). That count includes a brief, uncredited crowd appearance, so it is broader than a list of films in which both had substantial roles. Their breakthrough collaboration, Good Will Hunting, came later, in 1997.
All 10 Ben Affleck and Matt Damon movies, in order
- Field of Dreams (1989) — Their earliest shared screen appearance was an uncredited one: both were extras in a baseball crowd scene. They had gone to a call for extras at Fenway Park, according to TIME.
- School Ties (1992) — Affleck plays Chesty Smith and Damon plays Charlie Dillon, classmates who bully David Green, played by Brendan Fraser. TIME identifies this as their next film together.
- Good Will Hunting (1997) — Damon stars as Will Hunting, while Affleck plays Will’s friend Chuckie Sullivan. They also co-wrote the screenplay and won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 1998, as TIME reports.
- Chasing Amy (1997) — Affleck stars as comic-book artist Holden McNeil; Damon has a brief part as a business executive.
- Dogma (1999) — In Kevin Smith’s film, they play the fallen angels Loki and Bartleby.
- Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) — They appear in several meta roles, including as themselves and in roles connected to Good Will Hunting and Chasing Amy.
- Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019) — They return to Kevin Smith’s world: Affleck appears as Holden and Damon as Loki. The film also jokes about Damon’s Jason Bourne persona.
- The Last Duel (2021) — In Ridley Scott’s historical drama, Damon plays Jean de Carrouges and Affleck plays Count Pierre d’Alençon.
- Air (2023) — Damon plays sports marketing executive Sonny Vaccaro; Affleck plays Nike co-founder Phil Knight and directs. TIME describes the film as the first release from the pair’s production company, Artists Equity.
- The Rip (2026) — In Joe Carnahan’s Miami police thriller, Damon plays Lieutenant Dane Dumars and Affleck plays Detective Sergeant J.D. Byrne. Both are also producers. Netflix Tudum lists a runtime of 1 hour 55 minutes and an R rating. The story follows a police team that finds $20 million in cash.
Why the count depends on what you include
The 10-film total counts shared on-screen appearances, not just co-starring or featured performances. That is why the uncredited crowd appearance in Field of Dreams belongs on the list, even though it is unlike the substantial roles they share in films such as Good Will Hunting and The Last Duel. The same filmography also includes cameos and self-referential appearances in Kevin Smith’s movies.

It counts films in which both appear on screen, rather than every project they have worked on together behind the scenes. Within that rule, Good Will Hunting is distinctive: they acted in it and wrote its screenplay together.
Was Good Will Hunting their first movie together?
No. Their first shared screen appearance was the uncredited extra role in Field of Dreams (1989), eight years before Good Will Hunting. Good Will Hunting was their breakthrough as leading collaborators: Damon starred, Affleck played his close friend, and the two co-wrote the screenplay.

What the filmography shows
Their collaborations shifted from small parts and ensemble appearances to prominent dramatic roles, then continued with later projects including The Last Duel, Air and The Rip. The films do not represent 10 equal co-lead pairings; the count spans everything from an uncredited crowd scene to substantial shared roles and playful cameos.
