American Beauty is my pick as one of the best films ever made

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 1999)

Great cast, great script, great acting...what more do you need in a great film!!! 10 out of 10. Spacey definitely should get a nod for an Oscar! Annette Bening's best performance to-date! Thora Birch, 16 (now 17), Mena Suvari, 19 (now 20), and Wes Bentley have promising acting careers with proof shown in AB! Supporting cast which included Chris Cooper and Allison Janney was superb!
After reading in Entertainment Weekly that certain scenes such as a different beginning and ending were deleted, I'm glad the director and editor made those changes, or else, my feelings for the film may have been different.
MY ADVICE IS "GO SEE IT IF YOU HAVEN'T YET! AND IF YOU DID, GO SEE IT AGAIN TO ENJOY AGAIN!
