american beauty for me.

American Psycho

Ahhhh **** you man.

Beauty - 1
Psycho - 2

One of the hardest choices I've ever had to make. But American Psycho is the single best book to film adaptation I've ever seen.

American Beauty is quite possibly my favourite film of all time, well... it's certainly one of them.

I havent seen American Psycho, but loved American Beauty. So deserves my vote. Sorry if its biased :/

You should really abstain since you haven't seen both films, but wudev0r - come on American Beauty!

On what level exactly should I compare these two films? Ah yeah, they have a word 'American' in the title. Oh well...American Beauty never did much for me. I always felt it was flat and shallow in its core, covering this by insisting on that flatness as a style and a theme. Hey look, I found a level on which to compare this to American Psycho. They share some themes: shallowness, emptiness, flatness. But, American Psycho evokes all that with such ease that it never feels the movie itself is shallow, quite on the contrary. It has that satirical approach that is served so straightforwardly and coldly that it makes this emptiness of modern man funny and disturbing at the same time. American Beauty is too self-aware and self-serious to achieve more than what's already obvious, although it hides that seriousness behind cynicism. The problem for me is that I see through that and I don't like it. I guess it's pretty obvious where my vote goes: American Psycho, hands down.

I enjoyed American Psycho a lot- some of the scenes were so awesomely creepalicous and funny at the same time that it was hard not to. But American Beauty was just... really really really good. The writing, the acting, the feel blah blah blah. Great.
