No Sam Mendes directed American Beauty.....Irwin Winkler directed Life As A House.....from my point of view, I found Life As A House to be the superior of the two...I'm not to fussed on American Beauty.

maybe im wrong. but im almost sure that someone who either produced or directed life as a house directed or produced american beauty. they're very similar.

Nope. LIFE AS A HOUSE was directed by Irwin Winkler, produced by Rob Cowan and Irwin Winkler, and executive produced by Michael De Luca, Brian E. Frankish, and Lynn Harris.

AMERICAN BEAUTY was directed by Sam Mendes, produced by Bruce Cohen and Dan Jinks, and co-produced by Alan Ball and Stan Wlodkowski.

I've seen AMERICAN BEAUTY but not LIFE AS A HOUSE. I have heard they're quite similar, however. Just judging by the previews for HOUSE, it seems that BEAUTY is probably the heavier, more hard-core film.
