Heartwarming / Good Will Hunting

Go To


  • Any time Sean talks about his wife, Nancy, making it clear how much he loved her and how he doesn't regret a second he spent with her, even when she got sick with cancer.
  • Sean and Gerry apologizing to each other, patching things up and going to get a drink while bickering like old friends.
  • Will's friends giving him a new car for his birthday. His response of "It's the ugliest fucking car I've ever seen in my life" is an obvious deflection from how touched he is.
  • "If the professor calls about that job tell him, sorry, I had to go see about a girl."
  • When Sean asks about Will's soulmate, Will's first thought isn't to sarcastically dismiss the comment, or even about Skylar, but that Chuckie is his soulmate.

  • Will and Skylar trying on goofy glasses and fake noses in a novelty store while flirting isn’t one of their more serious moments together, but still is cute and moving.
  • Skylar immediately hits it off with Will’s friends over drinks and jokes once he finally introduces them.
  • Sean hugging Will as he breaks down crying after their penultimate session and the accompanying breakthrough. And then hugging him in a calmer way during their last meeting.
