American Beauty is a fine film .. but it didnt speak to me. I'm the guys age - but experiencing nothing like this guy is. I'm not saying it's less natural than The Fly, but somehow i was able to sympathize more with Seth Brundle than I was with Spaceys character.

and i guess thats the key to me liking one film more than another when forced to chose (between 2 competently made films) - can i identify with/ or at least dig the character.

i would pick The Fly.

10-5, The Fly beats out American Beauty.
