American Beauty is, without a doubt, one of my all time favorite movies. The cast is beyond incredible-Kevin Spacey appears to have a sketchy personal life, but this isn't about his real life-his acting in this movie is brilliant. His relatable, funny and intelligent style has you glued to the screen from start to end. Annette Bening is superb; I can see no one else playing this role; she's simply fantastic; everyone else was spectacular as well-from the entire neighboring family to Mena Suvari, all did an outstanding job both independently and as a team. The plot line and twists were just genius; it's so real and bittersweet at the same time. This movie is one I constantly bring up to new friends and acquaintances and although it premiered almost 2 decades ago, it has left a lasting impression. If you haven't already, and you're looking to be thoroughly entertained, watch American Beauty. I can't say enough good things about it. It is truly one of a kind.
