Yeah, I know you said some movies worked for some people. I just wondered why American Beauty worked for you.

It wasn't the nihilism that got me, nessarily. Most of it was the sick obsession the married suburbanite had with the young girl. That was a large part of the movie.

That, and the teen slut he fixated on.

And the ex-marine next door was (literally) a nazi who murders Spacey's character.

Or Annette Benning's character (after getting caught cheating) takes a handgun and hunts down her husband while chanting "refuse to be a victim".

The only characters in the whole movie who seemed normal are the queer couple that just moved in across the street.

The whole movie was a big stinking POS.
