American Beauty was great.
The ones I despised were "The English Patient" (both main characters loathsome people I was hoping would die) and "Forrest Gump", which may be one of the worst movies to ever win best picture.
I agree on 'The English Patient.' I actually enjoyed Gump the first time I saw it, but it suffers badly on repeated viewings.
That's exactly how I felt about Ordinary People years ago. How I loath that crappy film. Diediediediedie.
I thought English Patient was ok, not great.
