One of the best movies I have ever seen

[sook]

American Beauty.

It had to me into tears at the end, talk about a movie weaved together so well.

Its deff top 10 all time on my list.

[Mugshot]

Definitely a great film....

[Dex]

10 Years Late Forum. :D

Still, definitely a classic film.

Easily on my top 5 list, and I've watched a LOT of movies.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Thora Birch's tits are the best part of the flick.

[duncan228]

One of the best. :tu :tu

[baseline bum]

Classic movie. Kevin Spacey's character was fucking awesome in it.

[jaffies]

Awesome movie.
Spacey made it great.

but not in my favorite 100.

[Ghazi]

Whoa Whoa whoa

Its a good movie, but...

It's not close to an all time classic dammit!

and youre GAY for crying at the end of it.

[lefty]

I wasn't just abput Spacey

That other guy (I always forget his name), who is playing the neighbor's father, is amazing

[Blue Jew]

Let us know what you think about Titanic when you see it!

[monosylab1k]

Pretty good but not great. It's not even that director's best movie.

[marini martini]

I didn't know Sissy Spacek was in that movie!!!!

[ChumpDumper]

I wasn't just abput Spacey

That other guy (I always forget his name), who is playing the neighbor's father, is amazingChris Cooper is a criminally underrated actor. If you want to see one of his few leading roles, check out The Lone Star. It's a really engrossing snapshot of the border region of Texas.

All I did was click on a thread, how did I end up in in the year 1999?

haven't seen it. Maybe I need to rent it.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

It has some great performances but I think it's overrated as a film.

[Spurminator]

Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening were great. If the movie was solely about them, I'd have loved it.

Unfortunately, the movie is also about a budding love story between their daughter and their "oh wow, I am so totally introspective" pussy neighbor kid who thinks filming a trash bag flying around qualifies as some kind of deep spiritual event. "Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in."

Run away with me, my darling! Let's reject this hollow superficial suburban world if favor of smoking weed and filming trash! That's what life is really about! We're "freaks." People just don't understand us. Maybe they'll let us live outside a Hot Topic.

And then there's his dad, played admirably by Chris Cooper, but written as an over-the-top, one-dimensionally evil characature. Oh wow, the abusive homophobic military father is actually gay himself? What a clever ironic twist!

There's really not a single character in the movie worth rooting for or even giving a shit about. And that would be fine except I think we're supposed to like some of them.

[JoeChalupa]

I've never watched it but I've heard it was good.

Chris Cooper is a criminally underrated actor. If you want to see one of his few leading roles, check out The Lone Star. It's a really engrossing snapshot of the border region of Texas.

Cooper was also outstanding in Breach, the story of Robert Hanssen, the FBI mole/double agent.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I liked this movie alot. Kevin Spacey's character is the shit. Remember when he bribes his boss by saying that he'll tell people that he was going to let the boss blow him


roflrofl it makes no sense but its awesome
Thora Birch :tu :tu :tu

[sonic21]

He also won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Adaptation.

Haha dude i just added that to my favorite quotes on facebook...


Lester: "My job consists of basically masking my contempt for the assholes in charge, and, at least once a day, retiring to the men's room so I can jerk off while I fantasize about a life that doesn't so closely resemble Hell." Well, you have absolutely no interest in saving yourself.

Whoa Whoa whoa

Its a good movie, but...

Ok...I didn't really cry but it was an emotional ending.

I agree with everything . . . and go one further.

Spacey's character began the film as a narcissistic douchebag who wants to sleep with his daughter's friend. And at the end, our hero has gone through a transformation so that now he is a narcissistic douchebag who doesn't want to sleep with his daughter's friend any more.

That's it. That's the big self-relevation: There are limits to douchebaggery.

[Laker Lanny]

all of you missed the whole point of the movie it was about the plastic bag!

[IronMexican]

Never watched it or even heard of it.

[ChumpDumper]

It has some great performances but I think it's overrated as a film.I generally agree with this assessment.

There are some great moments with Spacey of course, and the overall message was an interesting one but they way it got there was a little contrived to be an all-time classic.

Still, some priceless parts....

"You're gettin' it from the king, baby!"

"Fuck me, your majesty!"
