Sam Mendes’ stirring
masterpiece about a dysfunctional family carefully trying to ignore
its own unraveling nature brings to the screen some of the most
memorable performances ever. Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening lead
a remarkable cast and wickedly humorous screenplay in this inspiring
film that won five Academy Awards including 1999’s Best
Picture. Unforgettable movie moments such as Mena Suvari in a
bathtub of roses, and Kevin Spacey lounging on the couch after
buying the dream car he always wanted comprise a film that understandably
landed on over 275 Top 10 lists of 1999. As Spacey’s character
would have said, “This movie RULES!”
