Aside from the fact that you're spot on about Spacey as a real life predator, American Beauty has to be one of the best movies ever made. In my opinion it is the perfect balance of an artistic and commercial film that is relatable to most audience members and really conveys a lot of important messages about life. Great suggestion and interesting insight from your post, well done!
