Magnolia - which also came out that same year 1999. I highly recommend that one. In fact, I love Magnolia more than American Beauty.
It follows the life of people and how imperfect they are. Tom Cruise is gold in that film. -

I'm with you on that, pinokiyo Magnolia has aged well, while I can't say the same for American Beauty. - at least, to me, basing that on the fact that American Beauty USED to be a favorite of mine, but has faded out. It's a good performance by Kevin Spacey. Magnolia was and still is one of of my favorite films. Tom Cruise is good; EVERYONE is good in Magnolia. -

it's quite some time since you opened this thread, but if you're still interested have a look at Six Feet Under. It's created by Alan Ball (the writer from American Beauty) and has a lot of similarities with American Beauty.

-Garden State, I second that.
-The Wackness (2008) with Ben Kigsley is also really similar. It basically has same worldview about the friendship between an 18 y.o. boy and an older man in midlife crisis, who are smoking weed together.
