This double feature presents two of the best 1990s films exploring suburban angst: in AMERICAN BEAUTY (1999), a yuppie businessman (Kevin Spacey) goes through a midlife crisis when he becomes disgusted with his stale, repetitive existence; and in THE VIRGIN SUICIDES (1999), a group of beautiful sisters (Kirsten Dunst, Chelse Swain, A.J. Cook, and Leslie Hayman) retreat from life after the death of their youngest sibling. See individual titles for further plot details.

AMERICAN BEAUTY tells the story of Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey), a suburban father who snaps when he becomes disgusted with his stale, repetitive existence. Burnham lets us know in voice-over from the film's opening that this is the day he dies (using the SUNSET BOULEVARD flashback approach), a technique that adds an inevitable tension to the proceedings and keeps the story moving forward at all times. On a whim, Lester quits his job and begins a regression into young adulthood, lifting weights...
