'American Beauty' or 'The Kids Are All Right'?


She gives an incredible performance in both, but which one do you prefer?

I have to give the edge to American Beauty, where she absolutely nails it. It's also one of my most perfect films of all time.

Don't threaten me with a dead fish!

American Beauty.

She really should have won an Oscar for it...

It's amazing what rewatches can do.. Sandra Bullock, you weren't THAT bad in The Blind Side!

American Beauty is a far better movie and her role in it was perfect. She should have won that year. It's hard to be both funny, crazy, and tragic all in the same movie.

You heard that? Where? You are so full of it. You don't like this film because your are a homophobic little witch.

How many times are you going say that Bening should have won for American Beauty? Play it again, xs3.

Are you going to discuss how Bening looks like a lesbian with her short hair as you have in the recent past? You are pathetic.

AS good as Annette was in American Beauty, Hillary Swank was pretty much solid in her role in Boys Dont Cry deserved her oscar for that, as for Million Dollar Baby I dont know. But either way give this woman her award already.

The Kids Are All Right wasn't a disaster at all. In truth, it was my favorite movie this year. Highly recommend.

American Beauty is one of the best movies of all time, IMO. I loved The Kids Are All Right but it's tough for any film to compete with American Beauty. Props to Bening for choosing two great projects though. She doesn't always pick the best films to work on, but when she does, it's a hit right out of the park.
