It would be interesting to see how much in common this has with the IMDb top 250 because by the looks of it we're actually pretty similar. 🫢 The internet consensus will be the internet consensus I suppose. ](*,)
As similar to the IMDb 250 as it is, I'm finding it closer to RYM's top 250... which might make sense. It's pretty far away from Letterboxd's 250 though.
No Country for Old Men beats There Will Be Blood AGAIN. I hate you guys. Haha just kidding. But for real, what the hell? No Country is great. I love it. There's nothing wrong with it. It is a fucking awesome film and one of the Coen Brothers' 10 best. But whyyyy? I get it. It's more accessible. More modern. More shocking. More thrilling. More violent (!?). But it's just not as good. Not as compelling. Not as fun. Have someone else play Daniel Day-Lewis's part and it might be close enough to justify. Even then There Will Be Blood would probably be better; if it was a lesser actor playing the part, you still had Paul Dano, who truth be told was just as robbed by the Academy as PTA. But just the fact that Day-Lewis provides the most flawlessly entertaining performance of all time elevates it to another level.
No country for old men felt like it cared more about building the world of the film, like I remember so many characters in that film that don't have major roles, I remember the lady who wont't give any information to Anton, I remember the hotel owner that killed, I remember the sheriff that Ed Tom Bell has the conversation with, I remember Ed's wife, I remember the mother. I don't feel that with There will be blood, it's still an amazing film, and Dano totally got screwed out of a nomination, but in my opinion it's not as great of a film as No Country _________________ Nothing really matters, anyone can see, nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me.

While I do prefer There Will Be Blood, I totally get what you're going for. Can you believe I totally forgot Ciarán Hinds was in that movie?
