3. American Beauty has been one of my all time favorites, for the past 20

years.

4. I'll have to re-watch that

Actually saw that one when it came out on Beta....

8. I saw it at the movies when it came out, still love it.

5. I watched it when it first came out, wasn't impressed

Appreciated it much more this time 'round.

Although both times I felt that the character of the wife was over the top. Possibly a combination of the writing and acting.

7. I have known women like that.

6. I think I might like to see Gangs of NY again

I remember I really liked it.

2. Only by about 20 years. both really good movies.

11. Be forewarned

The pianist is gripping and very emotional.

Back then the Irish were shite to the "true americans".. The great political statement in the movie was when Boss tweed said it's not about the votes.... it's about the vote counters!!! KEEP counting!! Just like our problems with vote counting today...
Seems we always need a ethnic group to dump on.. Then as now...
