1999 | Drama, Mystery
1999 thriller starring a (very young) Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law, with Damon playing the Mr Ripley of the title, a young man with a talent for mimicry, who is hired by a wealthy American businessman (in the late 1950s) to bring his errant son back home from his idyllic lifestyle in sun-drenched Italy.

Initially planning on doing just that, Ripley soon finds himself drawn further and further into their lifestyle, soon going to extreme lengths in order to live the life that he craves (and that they do).
