1 corrected entry
Directed by: Roger Avary
Starring: Jessica Biel, Shannyn Sossamon, James Van Der Beek, Kip Pardue
Continuity mistake: In the split screen scene when Lauren removes Sean's sunglasses, you can see that after the shot pans outward where both are facing each other, they are actually several feet apart. There is no way she could have reached his face from where she is standing. (00:37:01)
Lauren: Abstinence is 100% safe, which is less of a percentage than.
Lara: Whatever, I don't care, I don't major in math.
Trivia: Christian Bale declined an offer to reprise his role of Patrick Bateman from "American Psycho."

Correction: The movie is most certainly set in the 90s (notice the video cameras and digital cameras employed by several of the characters, not to mention the car you noticed). The book on which the movie is based, however, was indeed set in the 80s.
