The phrase might have existed before, but Good Will Hunting was the first movie that used it or at least made it famous. Without that movie, no one would have even heard of the phrase.
just because thats how you learned about it, doesnt mean that it wasnt popular at one time with other groups of people. I for one, heard it all the time growing up because it was one of my grandfather's favorite phrases, and he died a long time before good will hunting came out.
"The first time I heard it was in 1993, so that must be the first time anyone said it."
You guys must be amazed to discover that rock music is over 50 years old, and rap music is over 30 years old. Yes, there was a world, with music, language, and technology in it, before you were born.

Trying to put my finger on the slightly ironic phrase:
"How do you like them apples, Vista SP1?"
The phrase is from "Good Will Hunting" - personally one of my favorites. Matt Damon is the one who says the line.
That phrase existed decades before Good Will Hunting.

I assure you, it was a very well known phrase before Good Will Hunting. Wow.
Matt Damon has the crappiest Boston accent (see: The Departed) i've ever heard; i don't even care if he's from there, it's horrible.
yeah, it's off-topic, big whoop, wanna e-fight about it?
Young people are funny.
