Many critically praised films over the years have titles that begin with the word "American".
This has nothing to do with patriotism.
Vote for your favourite.

American Beauty followed by American History X. Why the fuck is terrible ass American Pie on that list?I thought American Pie was hysterical, and so did many others.

Cool.Did you know besides the regular trilogy their is like 5-6 direct to DVD sequels?Yeah, I haven't even bothered to watch them in fear of disappointment. I may end up seeing American Pie 2 and American Wedding though.

American Beauty duh
My friend's uncle turned down a part in American Pie 4. Apparently its filming in Canada and they're getting some older 80's comedy actors to be in it (he was in Porky's).

Have to go with American History X.
I do love the American Pie series though (original trilogy, never saw the garbage straight to dvd ones) mainly for nostalgic reasons though.

I was just rearranging my DVD shelves the other day and noticed I have 3 movies starting with the word American. Also, American Splendor could have been another option, not that I own it, but it's nearing the top of my netflix queue.

American Beauty, by a fucking landslide. Easily one of my favorite movies ever.
Beauty, History X and Psycho are all awesome. I can't choose between Beauty and Psycho for my favourite though.

History X or Pyscho....either one.
I love the fact no one's voted for American Graffiti. Hated that movie so much.
Beauty, one of my all time favourites.

Graffiti, it's actually a classic film. I can't say that for Beauty though.

I'm torn between American Beauty and American History X. Both are brilliant.
Also, here's a movie that was left out

Seriously, Graffiti is great. I think it's only doing so poor because a lot of people haven't seen it.

People who hate Psycho have obviously never lived in a big city before.
