COVID took another relationship. This time it was Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas. The former couple is set to star as co-leads in the upcoming Adrian Lyne erotic thriller Deep Water. With the movie scheduled for release later this year, we’re looking at their best films and honoring a relationship we didn’t know we needed.

ANA DE ARMAS

BLADE RUNNER 2049

Ana de Armas and Ryan Gosling in a movie together? Hell yes. The Denis Villenueve sequel to the famous Blade Runner was Ana’s breakout film.

Blade Runner 2049 is available to rent on Amazon Prime.

KNOCK KNOCK

You may have seen this movie trending on Netflix when it hit the platform late last year. In the film, Ana’s character and her friend seduce Keanu Reeve’s character, which leads him to cheat on his wife. You won’t believe what happens after that.

Knock Knock is available on Netflix.

SERGIO

This Netflix Original follows top UN diplomat Sergio Vieira de Mello. Ana plays his wife in the spectacular drama.

Sergio is available on Netflix.

KNIVES OUT

Knives Out is where we get to see Ana’s acting chops at work. She plays a meek, wide-eyed nurse who gets wrapped up in a whodunit narrative. Her compelling performance was a great way to end 2019.

Knives Out is available on Amazon Prime.

THE INFORMER

2019 was a big year for Ana. She also starred alongside Joel Kinnaman, Rosamund Pike and Common in mob movie The Informer.

The Informer is available to rent on Amazon Prime.

BEN AFFLECK

GONE GIRL

David Fincher and Ben Affleck make one hell of a team. In a time where his career was going south, Ben was able to bring some self-awareness to his performance.

Gone Girl is available on Hulu.

THE TOWN

If you want a great Boston movie, look no further than The Town. Ben is amazing, and Blake Lively plays a sexy side character. What more could a person ask for.

ARGO

After he directed The Town, Ben took on Argo. He directed himself to Best Picture and Best Writing Oscars. Now that’s impressive.

Argo is available to rent on Amazon.

TRIPLE FRONTIER

Talk about underrated movies and performances. Ben’s greedy character in the epic heist film Triple Frontier is something we’ll remember for a long time. If you haven’t seen this film, it needs to be at the top of your list.

Triple Frontier is available on Netflix.

GOOD WILL HUNTING

And, yes, his most famous production. Though he was a secondary role, he and Matt Damon won the Oscar for Best Writing, solidifying him as a force in the entertainment industry.

Good Will Hunting is available on Starz.
