"Poll question: It's time again: No Country For Old Men vs. There Will Be Blood"


  

          

So No Country For Old Men won the Oscar. I seem to recall There Will Be Blood won the Spilled Latte. In the critics' top of the decade lists, There Will Be Blood seems to be holding a steady lead.

After having recently re-watched both... I know my decision. What's yours?

Even though I like There Will Be Blood a lot...

If you think the score for TWBB was awkward then you need to study film
Dec 30th 2009

you're right, that is an asshole thing to say
Dec 30th 2009

Well did the score to The Shining didn't fit?
Dec 30th 2009

      Most top critics loved Gran Torino. I don't base my opinions on them.

      no, the score to The Shining worked

Dec 30th 2009

I thought TWBB was fairly good
Dec 30th 2009

Ensemble vs Dominant Lead/Writing vs Directing

Interesting. I think NCFOM may be the best directed film of the 00s.
Dec 29th 2009

      As I said, it's neck and neck for me.

I havent re-watch NCFOM yet...

No Country For Old Men is overrated
Dec 29th 2009
12
every film ever released has been "overrated"
Dec 30th 2009
17
      exactly
Dec 30th 2009

      This is running on from another thread
Dec 30th 2009

      THANK YOU!!!
Dec 30th 2009

      it implies that there is some universal standard
Dec 30th 2009
53
           I guessed you missed this line
Dec 30th 2009
54
           it means nothing.
Dec 30th 2009
55
                Haven't got the time to really go into this now
Dec 31st 2009

                     it's absolutely about semantics
Dec 31st 2009
70
                          According to your premise
Jan 02nd 2010
72
                               that's not my premise.
Jan 02nd 2010
73
                                    Reading this entire debate is overrated.
Jan 03rd 2010
76
                                         Is it even rated?
Jan 03rd 2010
77
                                              did the one person in this thread who used the term "overrated"
Jan 03rd 2010
78
                                                   Returning to the original point
Jan 03rd 2010

                                                        lol, we're both 12 replies and a few days deep into this
Jan 03rd 2010

Dec 30th 2009

Better Film: No Country. More entertaining (for me): TWBB
Dec 30th 2009
40
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Dec 30th 2009
44
No Country easily
Dec 30th 2009
46
No Country is the better film, TWBB has better individual scenes
Dec 30th 2009
49
No Country still rules. There Will Be Blood still drools.
Dec 30th 2009

i really like both but i give it to no country
Dec 30th 2009

i still fall on the side of No Country easily

      Well, it's open for interpretation. Death can be one take, I suppose.
Jan 03rd 2010
93
      I've been thinking about this point since you wrote it.
Jan 06th 2010
101
           What's great is how perfectly it works for BOTH.
Jan 06th 2010

      To me, the movie is more about choice and chance
