YES.
Best version of that story, er... general beast vs. beauty theme (example: phantom of the opera) EVER. I agree with everything you said. Oh, and you know the guy that plays the beast? He was Cocteau's lover in real life. ZOMG I LOVE IT. :D
yeah, as you said, people neeeed to see it.
Oh, and I believe everyone needs to also see these movies:
Pulp Fiction [THIS IS AN ESSENTIAL]
Garden State
Thumbsucker
Ghost World
((and, because his work kicks ass, go get the dvd for Chris Cunningham's music videos [director's label]. He is amazingly awesome.))

This isn't a film, but by goodness, pick up a copy of a TV series called 'Ultraviolet', and do it now. It's AWESOME. Kinda like every vampire story set in modern times, except it actually takes place in the real world (The vampires run FUTURES SCAMS for fucks sake!), it has good writing, lots of science (but no real science-fiction) and some really ace moral ambiguity. Although it's coming more on our side by where I am now (just finished episode four of six) for at least the first three episodes (and especially after the conclusion of three) you really aren't sure if the vampires or the exterminators are the more evil. After episode four though, the exterminators come out in a slightly better light.
It's just the damn subtlety of it. Four episodes into a vampire series and I haven't seen a fucking fang yet.

Well, the book that is my favorite, was one recommended by my girlfriend.
The Magus, by John Fowles.
It is the best book I have ever read! Deals with loads of psychology and stuff. Im not going to say more, not to give away the ending, however, the end is rather shocking....
