No Country For Old Men: Coen Brothers (2007)
Posted on March 29th, 2008 by Adam Brucker
Loved this movie in the theater and it was even better seeing it a second time on video not having to worry about the plot quite as much.
Not sure if this is the Coen Brother’s best film (gotta love the almost 100, one and two star reviews on Amazon), but it’s up there - here’s how I’d grade their films:
- No Country for Old Men (2007) = A
- The Ladykillers (2004) = Haven’t Seen
- Intolerable Cruelty (2003) = B-
- The Man Who Wasn’t There (2001) = B
- O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) = A
- The Big Lebowski (1998) = A+
- Fargo (1996) = A
- The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) = B+
- Barton Fink (1991) = B
- Miller’s Crossing (1990) = B+
- Raising Arizona (1987) = A
- Blood Simple. (1984) = A-
Anton Chigurh: Don’t put it in your pocket, sir. Don’t put it in your pocket. It’s your lucky quarter.
Gas Station Proprietor: Where do you want me to put it?
Anton Chigurh: Anywhere not in your pocket. Where it’ll get mixed in with the others and become just a coin. Which it is.
(If you liked No Country, rent Blood Simple to see where it all started.)
