This was my 40th movie overall from the IMDB Top 100 list and the 20th one for my competition. That means I've watched the same number of top 100 movies in 2 weeks than I have in 19 years.
IMDB rating: 8.5
My rating: 9
I loved American Beauty. I would put this in the top 10 movies I've ever seen.
Kevin Spacey is creepy as always and he pulls it off beautifully. Thora Birch and Mena Suvari were also excellent.
I'm not sure exactly what it was about this movie that made it so enjoyable. The music, the camerawork, the voice overs, and the scenery all came together to create a dark comedy/tragedy/drama, or a tragecomedrama for short.
There is brief nudity in this movie and a very small amount of violence, but nothing too distracting. This is a movie everyone should watch, hands down.

It always bothers me that I can't figure out if Mena Suvari was lying or not to Kevin Spacey at the end of the movie. But I agree, I really enjoyed this twisted movie as well.
