American Beauty

[Lefty Guns]

Saw it last night for the first time in years and years. I've maybe seen it two or three times before.

It's superb, I had forgotten just how good it.

Some great performances by Chris Cooper and Annete Bennington in particular IMHO and Spacey is his usual amazingly intense self. The fella who looks like Jethro Bovingdon and plays Coopers son is good too...

And there are some great one-liners in it:

"1970 Pontiac Trans Am. I rule!"
"How d'ya like gettin nailed by the King?"

Great film, ive got it on DVD watched it a couple of weeks ago.

[taldo]

brilliant movie, and apparantly the inspiration for Desperate Housewives.

[RJDM3]

Has to be my all time favourite movie, just one of those films you can never bore from watching in my opinion.

Excellent film. Thomas Newman's soundtrack makes it special.

Great film, love the bit with the Pontiac. I can really relate sometimes, it reminds you that you just have to take time out every now and again to make sure your life is still fun.

I watched it a few weeks ago, and was shocked by how poor it looks on DVD. They need to re-master it and/or put it on blu-ray or something.
