Most movies can be glad if they contain one or two memorable one liners. American Beauty in turn seems to consists solely of memorable quotes.

[BurkeytheTurkey1]

Anyone know what is the music at the very start sounds familiar?

I first saw this movie when I was five years old, in 1999. I've seen it over a hundred time since then, and I still love it. Great movie, I suggest to everyone. ONE GREAT MOVIE

I also can relate to Jane.

[ngarcia1995]

This movie really describes my life. My parents act just like Lester and Carolyn.

[jamma]

This movie changes your life, the music is beautyful!!

Ricky Fits, Tyler Durden, Max Demian, Zarathustra...!!

@MattThomasFilm thats some leap! lol

[mierdadeyouculo]

At the time he is telling all this, he should actually be saying "in less than a second i'll be dead"

[73Stargazer]

wow the first time i watched this i totally forgot he said he'd be dead within the year.

[delltardboy]

@73Stargazer ya its cool cuz when its the first time u watch it u dont know whos gonna kill him but it keeps u guessing cuz theres like three possible killers, the daughter and her boyfriend, the wife, or the crazy nazi souvenir collecting fag hating ex marine neighbor

[Testedformybros]

One of my favorites.

[conquistadorsREPBLC]

do you think the iphone alarm tone is similar to this music for a reason?

My daughter Jane..only child...Jane is a pretty typical teenager, angry, insecure, confused...I wish I could tell her that's all going to pass, but I don't wanna lie ti her..

[FutileTheory]

Thanks for posting....what a great sentence to start a movie dialogue: In less than a year I'll be dead...
