02.14.13 | If you're just watching movies for a no-brainer storyline, then no. |
MO
02.14.13 | such a good movie |
Buzzkillr
02.14.13 | you're sort of leaving out the part where all three storylines are connected
and yeah it's a lot more complex than that, oh and the themes from the movie are essentially separate from the storyline |

02.14.13 | classic movie
There Will Be Blood should have won best picture though, if only they came out in different years |

02.14.13 | I probably need to watch this film again cos I likely missed a lot on the first watch. Liked it though |
Ire
02.14.13 | yea brilliant film |
demigod!
02.14.13 | I liked No Country more than TWBB, tho most of the latters plot kinda went over my head when i saw it |
BigPleb
02.14.13 | Where have you been Demi? |
evilford
02.14.13 | if you're expecting a movie with a traditional arc storyline, you're gonna be confused. |
londoncalling457
02.14.13 | there will be blood > most movies including no country |
Trebor.
02.14.13 | Both movies pretty much require multiple viewings

02.14.13 | Film is a goddamn masterpiece. A simple story, but one that is very deep if you look into it properly. |

Another classic. But I think I prefer NCFOM a little more. |

02.14.13 | No Country For Old Men is the Coen Brothers' best film |
GringoSuave89
02.14.13 | Love that movie. If you are a reader, read the book. It helped make NCFOM go from fantastic movie to masterpiece in my opinion. |
CutMan
02.14.13 | Damn good film. |
DotEight
02.14.13 | Great movie. Anton is one of my favorite movie villains. |
kris.
02.14.13 | there will be blood and no country are both utterly fantastic in their own rights but daniel day lewis kinda out-acted anyone ever in twbb so it wins |
toxin.
02.14.13 | Need to watch this damn. Probably should read it too, love McCarthy |
clercqie
02.14.13 | "No Country For Old Men is the Coen Brothers' best film"
Actually, I like A Serious Man the most. |
GringoSuave89
02.14.13 | Not in an ironic way, but The Big Lebowski will always be my favorite. O Brother Where Art Thou is third. |
Hospital
02.14.13 | that shotgun silencer doe |
WeepingBanana
02.14.13 | No Country isn't even close to Coen Brother's best but it's still really fuckin' good
TWBB is better though |
Buzzkillr
02.14.13 | Fargo and The Big Lebowski come pretty close but apart from that I can't really think of any other Coen brother's movies that are close to matching it |
WeepingBanana
02.14.13 | Barton Fink, Raising Arizona, O Brother Where Art Thou (barely)
hell, i think i liked True Grit more than No Country tbh |
clercqie
02.14.13 | They're all great, yeah. |
wacknizzle
02.14.13 | Fucking awesome movie |
ViralOblivion
02.14.13 | Amazing movie one of my all time favorites the fact that it has no music I think makes it better |
evilford
02.14.13 | agreed^^^ music placed in a movie can just be wrong sometimes, and it totally would have killed NCFOM imo |

02.15.13 | I didn't get Michael Clayton but I'm not going to make a list about it |
tommygun
02.15.13 | ok sweet thanks for the heads up |
clercqie
02.15.13 | "My copy has these cool chapter breakdowns to give an idea of what happened and it helped me understand how the writing style worked. "
So that totally defeats the purpose of figuring out a book's thematics on your own / having a personal take on a work. |
GringoSuave89
02.18.13 | Woah woah, I loved Michael Clayton. |
Strider
02.18.13 | I shat myself when I saw Javier Bardem's performance in that movie |
RickySpanish
02.18.13 | The movie is brilliant, and one of the rare occasions the bad guy wins (or gets away
atleast)...unlike the movie End of Watch which was good til a gay ass shit dumb ending. |
Insurrection
02.18.13 | Just saw this movie yesterday actually. Javier Bardem was brilliant |
RickySpanish
02.18.13 | I believe he does, dumb bitch shoulda picked heads or tails |
Insurrection

Yeah cuz he reloads his weapon or whatever |

Nah dude he leaves it up to the coin toss |
americanohno
02.18.13 | "notice I say "film" instead of "movie"? is because it's that fucking good"
this is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever read in my entire life. And I read all the shit I write on here.
anyway I think Zodiac and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford are the two best american films of 2007. I do like NCFOM and TWBB just fine but I don't like like them. |
GringoSuave89
02.18.13 | It's implied she's dead. He checks his boots as he leaves the room, which makes me think he's checking for blood. Captive bolt pictures are messy shit. |
GringoSuave89
02.18.13 | The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is flawless. |

02.18.13 | So, this list is a joke, and you guys really need to read The Road. It's fantastic, probably a more compelling storyline and equally brilliant writing. Thematically it's a little more straightforward but in terms of everything else, I found it to be a cut above No Country. |
tommygun
02.18.13 | yeah he definitely kills the wife they show him checking his boots for blood rather than showing it on screen (can't
remember how they handle it in the book) -- I mean even llewellyn gets killed off screen. the road is right up there with
it, book is road > no country, vice versa for movie. that said the road movie ruled and viggo mortensen was fantastic in it |
GringoSuave89
02.18.13 | In the book, she calls wrong. |
