No Country For Old Men

"These boys appear to be managerial!"
Excellent movie. Javier Bardem is bone-chilling.

Honestly, it has to be the best film of the year by default. Nothing could conceivably top it.
ImRonBurgundy?:
There Will Be Blood does, at least for me.
TheFuriousWombat:
I just saw it and words cannot describe how good it was. Johnny's right, I honestly can't imagine a better movie coming out this year. The acting was truly excellent for all the main characters, the script was great (can't really expect anything else from a Coen Brothers movie though), it was tense, violent, beautifully shot and the pacing was pretty much perfect. I'm not sure if this is the best Coen Brothers film but it's in the top 4 to be sure (Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink and Fargo are the other three on that list) and it may just best those three. I have to see it again to be sure. Still, it's far and away the best movie I've seen in recent memory and I can't imagine anything replacing it anytime soon (especially not "There Will be Blood" even if that does look like it's going to be pretty good).
De_El:
I really like it when a character is strong enough that it doesn't really matter who the hell they are. That's what Anton Chigurh is like; very little background is presented about him, but his presence and actions are just so intense you kind of forget that he's practically without identity.
Another point I was impressed with was the series of landscape shots and accompanying voice-over at the beginning. It's really hard to make a voice-over without succumbing to stupid, but this one (as everything moment in a film should) furthered the effect of the movie as a whole. For the most part, I agree with those who praise it lavishly.
