Still my favorite

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2002)

It's been a few years since I've seen American Beauty now, and I've seen a lot of movies in that time span (it's what happens when you work in a video store). This is still my favorite. It's not a style of movie that everyone can enjoy and is largely a love it/hate it film. But it's got amazing acting in a well-written script that includes not only a great deal of humor, but a depth that is almost unheard of in movies. With the numerous layers incorporated in the film, you can spend days thinking about this movie, and there's still no beating the feeling that comes to you during the final words. 10/10
