I just watched American Beauty for the first time tonight.
 

Hot shit, it was.

Sam Mendes is the bomb diggity

Very hot movie. One of my favs.

"F*ck me your majesty!"

The most hilarious line (for me at least) was when Caroline walks into the living room after seeing the sportscar in the driveway, and Lester is sitting with no socks, having a beer and playing with a remote control car. He says "What?" and I started laughing a lot.

CLASSICCCCCCC

I really didnt like that movie but I love the line he says after his wife walks in and asks him whats in the driveway and then he says stuff and raises his hand and says "I Rule".

Awesome movie. Gets you hooked from the start.

My favourite scene though is where he is about to be fired, so he spouts off all this stuff and blackmails the company with it.

My favorite movie from that year. It rocks big time

This movie is awesome. I bought the DVD about one month ago.

Really good movie.

:y: :y:

"I rule"

I wish I could remember why he says that. I'm gonna have to watch the film again tommorrow.

He sold his car for one he wanted all his life.

His interview at that fast food take away was funny as well. I'm going to have to watch it again, I think I've only seen it once.

Still haven't seen it. :(

check it outttttttt

"...and dream of a life that doesn't closely resemble hell!"

*Lester mouthing along, all nostalgic.*

I've seen the movie before but I don't remember much of it.

Yeah I saw it when I was like 13/14...don't remember much except that it was awesome.

When he sees his wife cheating in the car at the restaurant. His wife says something along the lines of "Mind your own business!" to the girl, and he tells her she's his superior.

"Smile!"

anyone who says Thomas Newman is not the man shhould die

Great movie. Great quotes:

CAROLYN: Uh, who's car is that out front?
LESTER: Mine. 1970 Pontiac Firebird. The car I've always wanted and now I have it. I rule!
BRAD (reading): "My job consists of basically masking my contempt for the assholes in charge, and, at least once a day, retiring to the men's room so I can jerk off while I fantasize about a life that doesn't so closely resemble Hell." Well, you have absolutely no interest in saving yourself.
LESTER: Brad, for 14 years I've been a whore for the advertising industry. The only way I could save myself now is if I start firebombing.

CAROLYN: Your father and I were just discussing his day at work. Why don't you tell our daughter about it, honey?
LESTER: Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go **** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.
CAROLYN: Your father seems to think this type of behavior is something to be proud of.
LESTER: And your mother seems to prefer I go through life like a ****ing prisoner while she keeps my dick in a mason jar under the sink.
CAROLYN: How dare you speak to me that way in front of her? And I marvel that you can be so contemptuous of me, on the same day that you LOSE your job.
LESTER: Lose it? I didn't lose it. It's not like, "Whoops! Where'd my job go?" I QUIT. Someone pass me the asparagus.

LESTER: Oh, all right! So shoot me, I was whacking off! That's right, I was choking the bishop, chafing the carrot, you know, saying "hi" to my monster!
