The Rip ranks sixth among Matt Damon and Ben Affleck collaborations

Movieweb has ranked every Matt Damon and Ben Affleck movie collaboration, placing their Netflix crime thriller The Rip at number six on the list.

The piece notes the pair have both costarred and traded cameos across a lengthy shared filmography, and that factors such as brief appearances can heavily influence rankings. Examples cited include Field of Dreams at 13, where they appear as uncredited background extras; Glory Daze, in which Affleck stars and Damon has a minor non-speaking part; The Third Wheel and Jersey Girl, which feature brief Damon cameos while Affleck has larger roles; and the Jay and Silent Bob films, where the pair appear in single standout scenes. Higher entries include Chasing Amy, with Affleck starring and Damon in a cameo, and The Last Duel, which the two co-wrote and which critics praised despite its box-office struggles.

The ranking emphasizes on-screen presence and the varied nature of their collaborations, noting The Rip stands out for the leads' chemistry and strong performances even if it does not top the list; where films sit reflects a mix of cameos, critical reception and overall impact rather than a single criterion.
