Agreed. Kevin Spacey tells us not to feel sorry for him at the end, but I just can't help it. :(

I ranked American Beauty really high on my all time list for several years. It's slipped a bit. For instance, **SPOILER** I never realized how cliche it is to have your closet gay as a tough marine.

Little Children is pretty damn depressing. that last scene gives me chills.
and happiness is beyond f-ed up. its hard to watch phillip seymour hoffman and not think of that film.
crash is very disturbing too. i still cant sit through that movie. i walked out of it in theaters when it was first released. (and no, not the oscar movie) the cronenberg film with holly hunter

People think Sheryl Crow has a good voice. That's depressing.

Well, yeah, in it's own decadent kind of way.
(To be honest, I saw it so many years ago that I don't remember it all that well.)

Just saw this. It's very well done although a real downer.
