My favourite is No Country for Old Men.


Basically a movie about monotone Terminator who goes around killing people for a box of money. The end.

You just described the antagonist. That's hardly what the movie's about...


There is hardly any plot. All it is are scenes of Anton walking around talking to people with a deadpan face. Then there's some dialogue of the Sheriff which has to do with absolutely nothing. That's all it is. Please give an example of a plot.

The plot is that Llewellyn Moss finds a satchel full of money at a failed drug deal. A cat-and-mouse (and dog?) chase then ensues with Sheriff Ed Tom Bell chasing Anton Chigurh chasing Llewellyn, which results in (No Country for Old Men Spoilers) Llewellyn being killed, Chigurh getting the money and Bell feeling afraid and "over-matched" and therefore retiring. The whole story's about why Bell decides to retire.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

Except the sheriff is barely part of the movie. He has no interaction with any of the main characters. You can assert that their is some connection between the murders and his retirement, but it means nothing because there's just a few scenes of sheriff complaining about how brutal his job is.

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

It's hard to say what the best movie ever is, but my personal favorite is Saving Private Ryan.

Edit: No Country for Old Men is one of my top 5

The movie is about him. He's just barely part of the action, and is always a step behind. It's very strongly implied that he feels he would've died on the job just as his father and grandfather had before him if he continued. EDIT: The whole reason you don't see Llewellyn get killed directly is to remind you that the story is about Bell and how the events affect him.

Besides, film isn't solely dependent on plot alone. The movie's minimalist style, superb acting, interesting setting, recurring themes, numerous subtleties and incredibly tense and exciting scenes make it a classic. It's not the best, I admit, but it's my personal favourite. My second favourite is Fight Club.
