Best Sam Mendes Movie

Road to Perdition.

Didn't really like Skyfall that much.

Personal fav... American Beauty

Haven't seen Revolutionary Road yet, but the one I like the most from him so far is Road To Perdition. I thought that while it had some good qualities, American Beauty came across as a rather pretentious and pointless examination of a mid life crises in American suburbia, which I have no interest in whatsoever.

Not counting his Bond films (which I might rewatch on 2023):


1917
Revolutionary Road
American Beauty


RR was passable to me, and I didn't like American Beauty. Loved 1917 though.


I'd prob put both his Bond films above RR, but need to rewatch them.

I have to go with American Beauty too, though I really liked Jarhead and LOVED Revolutionary Road.

Can't add too much to this thread since I've only seen American Beauty and Skyfall. However, it;s gotta be said that AMerican Beauty is the single weirdest non-surrealism movie I've ever seen. Sure, there are a couple dream sequences. But the whole weirdness stems from these people just being themselves.

I'll re-rate them all after I see Empire of Light in the next couple weeks.

Granted, I haven't seen Road to Perdition, who knows how I'll react to it. I also suspect you like RR more than me.
