It all fits perfectly

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2008)

The fact is true - Premiere voted this movie as one of the top twenty "Overrated films of All Time." HOWEVER, included in that same list is Forrest Gump, Good Will Hunting, A Beautiful Mind, Mystic River, The Wizard of Oz, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Gone With the Wind. How much respect should be granted to a list that knocks some of the greatest films of all time? Truly NONE. American Beauty is one of the few films that gives every element, including drama, romance, comedy, and suspense. The acting performances of Kevin Spacey, Annette Bening, and even the supporting roles of Thora Birch and Wes Bentley were absolutely astounding. This is a film that cannot be overlooked for any movie fan. Spacey gives a dynamite performance that displays just how powerful one actor can be. Flawless in every aspect of the word. If you have not seen this movie, it belongs at the top of the list. There is a reason people have ranked it as one of the greatest movies on IMDb - remember that. I give the film a 9.7/10. A+
