Inhaltsangabe:	Lester Burnham, jahrelang unterdrückt von seiner frustrierten Ehefrau Carolyn und seiner missmutigen Tochter Jane, beschließt, sein Leben von Grund auf zu ändern. Ausschlag gebend ist das Kennenlernen von Angela, einer Freundin von Jane. In seinem Kopf laufen die wildesten Fantasien ab. Er schmeißt seinen Job hin, erpresst sich seine Abfindung und holt ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste alles das nach, was er sich in seinen kühnsten Träumen niemals hätte ausmalen können ... ####################################################################### Oscar ® Oscar für 1999 für "American Beauty" (Bester Film) Oscar für 1999 für Kevin Spacey (Bester Schauspieler) Oscar für 1999 für Sam Mendes (Beste Regie) Oscar für 1999 für Conrad L.
