and the best soundtrack ever!

It rules

Ikr!!

It’s perfection. But that’s Thomas Newman for you.

[@karinhaset645]

I think you have to be highly sensitive to understand and enjoy this movie. Just watched it and cried my eyes out, this is art❤️✨

[@Jesus_H._Tap-DancingChrist]

It's beautifully shot

[@kateskeys]

The music was integral to the much deserved success of this movie

[@KatsPurr]

The casting of this film was absolute perfection. Lots of oscars were given out, but I feel like Wes Bentley (Ricky) should have won one. I literally bawled my eyes out in the scene where Ricky explains about the beauty of the plastic bag to Jane, then Jane takes his hand. Such a powerful moment in film!

[@negativeindustrial]

Are you being serious? When this movie came out EVERYONE clowned it for that scene. I’m glad that scene finally found its audience.

[@poppyfield1619]

Annette Bening giving it her all singing "Don't Rain on My Parade" What a movie moment❤

[@TheBestBroster]

"we are having so much fun that it's probably illegal." Classic Kevin Spacey

[@dudoklasovity2093]

both Anette and Kevin were sublime in this. The casting could’ve gone any better!❤

This is a true masterpiece, cause I can (and will want to) watch it again and again. Really brilliant acting and script!!!

[@WilliamDelorenzo-y9v]

a fantastic and brilliant film. I can watch it over and over...a masterpiece

Jane "I think I'm gonna walk too" Angela "Jane, that's almost like, a mile" 🤣😂

Thank you for this, an excellent & very well done look behind the scenes.

This film is my heart.

[@williamb.1376]

Same for me, every single scene talks to me, even more 20 years later !

@@mdp4022 Depth of it, emotion. Reality versus Imagination, encapsulated. If you're an emotional shitbag like me you pretty much get it. It's dark and yet light mixed.

[@D-Fens_1632]

Annette Benning was tremendous in this film, she invented the Karen. And she was stunning, I'd burn my name in her lawn. I know we canceled Spacey but it's kinda like listening to Thriller and just enjoying it for how awesome it is...

[@poppyfield1619]

My eyes were on Ricky..his beautiful face. I loved his weirdo character and found him riveting. Then you see what is going on in his homelife and how he subtly rebels by dealing drugs..such a different type of character but it worked in this film. I liked how he 'grew' on Jane, too.

[@OMG_BeCkY]

F'ing masterpiece! American Beauty was the first DVD I ever bought (I pre-ordered it on Amazon way back in 2000...I still remember it was $14.99 and I thought it was such a deal! If only I'd bought some Amazon stock that same year). I've always been amazed by this movie's excellent character development. In the course of only two hours you really get to know the intricacies of the many varied characters' personalities. I've never seen another film do it so well. Chef's kiss!

[@ericsteinert4953]

Excellent film, with dramatic edge showcasing flawed suburban family. I loved it because I can sympathize with Lester and the part of being in a coma…. Marriage on life support, etc

[@d.k.1394]

Amazing film

[@helenarichard]

I was only 11 but I was obsessed with the cover of the video tapes and I knew that that was the best moment in movie history. I havent seen many great movies since then. I often rewatch this movie, I have the DVD and CD and wish there was a book. I like Meet Joe Black too. If you havent seen it, spectacular music and setting!

[@julieshelley-fd5kp]

Great movie, Kevin Spacey is brilliant!

[@helenarichard]

Wait... Naming the guy "Bud" in a rose themed movie is brilliant lol!

[@alooncnej4696]

I want back at this era ...

[@rgfreese]

Conrad Hall for the win

[@madamebovary7211]

Look at Kevin with his "beard." 1999 still had a little bit of innocence.

[@VeryScaryLarry2024]

it is just now i realize that the dinner scene gets increasingly illuminated

[@Jesus_H._Tap-DancingChrist]

Mena was brilliant in Spun. If you havent seen it, i highly recommend doing so

[@karlhungus5554]

Annette was so beautiful.

Alan Ball is an ingenious screenwriter.

Disfuncrjonal families are truly painful and I’ve never understood the entertainment value of it. Gosh if someone recorded our family it would receive all these accolades and praise…I don’t get jt

It “was” illegal Kevin.
