Our favourite films of the Noughties revealed
American Beauty
It’s clear from the outset that Kevin Spacey’s character, Lester Burnham, is about to meet a sticky end, and before the movie is over we discover how it is going to happen. Is it something to do with his wife’s (Annette Benning) affair? Or his daughter’s Lolita-esque friend (Mena Suvari)? This is an understated tale of inner despair in suburbia. Beware the killer hook at the end.
