This looks so amazing. When was the last time Day-Lewis made a bad movie?

I saw this on TV with very little volume and it looked like a remake of "The Executioner's Song" with Tommy Lee Jones. I don't know why it reminded me of that but it did. If you havn't seen that movie check it out.

I'd say my top 5 Coen films are:

1. Miller's Crossing
2. Fargo
3. No Country For Old Men
4. The Man Who Wasn't There
5. Raising Arizona

Oscar-worthy? Will be seeing it Thursday. Had a discussion with a friend and I just don't think there are that many films that jumped out this year, at least not yet.

* For SURE best Adapted Screenplay.
* IMO Best Director too.
* Best Sound would be an absolute LOCK if these categories weren't run over by blockbusters (expect Pirates 3 to win that this year even though NCFOM probably has the most artistic sound design I've heard in a movie in 5 years).
* Acting is so great everywhere that who knows where to start; Bardem is likely to get noticed the most because he's such a badass. But IMO Josh Brolin is every bit as good (like a young Nick Nolte) and Tommy Lee Jones as well. All 3 of them could get nominated and I'd be pleased as punch.
* I would say Cinematography but since Deakins also shot Jesse James, I'd rather him get nominated for that one. It even beats NCFOM.
* Outside chance at Best Picture but it's probably too indie/violent for that. The Departed was graphic enough for Best Pic; no chance they honor a bloodbath two years in a row.

just got back from seeing this.

fantastic, absolutely genius movie. the coens' attention to detail is just astounding to me.

i really liked the ending too, to me it was basically a perfect movie. the only thing that grated on me a little bit was harrelson's character being a bit too heavyhanded of a narrator in the dialogue at a few moments, but it didn't really bother me that much.

god is not letting you see it until you admit that the ladykillers sucked balls and tom hanks is a hack.

seriously i just read your review of intolerable cruelty, and all those things that you are ballwashing the movie for are things that they do in every. single. movie. they. make. great timing, attention to detail, repeating tropes and snippets of dialogue... they do all those things in TBL and in RA, and neither of those movies are smarmy romantic comedies.

NCFOM is my favorite of their dramas, I think, right ahead of Blood Simple. I would put NCFOM, RA, and TBL all in a top three that would be 'too close to call.'

Fargo's not in the top tier for you? Obviously, that's up to you, but while Blood Simple, The Big Lebowski, The Hudsucker Proxy, etc., are all great- I don't find many people rating them above Fargo, which is an amazing film.
