    A sensational character study, an eerie, but beautiful life message,and one hell of a movie. American Beauty simply caught me off guard the first time I watched it, and it has captivated me ever since. With a timeless performance from Kevin Spacey, that just enriches his status as one of the finest actors ever. Along with a great plot, and other noticeable performances. American Beauty is an incredible film that will decorate film classes for years to come.
