PrintableInsomnia, where the fuck is Insomnia?? In my top ten. The Robin Williams, Al Pacino remake.
Minority fucking Report? The brits hate Spielberg. Fucking gnats.
I agree on Kill Bill. Great film.
No Country For Old Men, best film. Muholland Drive number two, they almost had it.
They won't fund his films. Rewatch Blue Velvet, wow.
Wild At Heart is good too.
Coen film that is under rated: The Man Who Wasn't There.
No Michael Moore films?? Dumb ass Brits. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

Not only should Match Point be on this list, it should be at the top of it. |

I've seen a grand total of 7 films from this list. I'm not counting In the Mood for Love, 'cause I fell asleep in the middle of it (nothing to do with the film - I was just exhausted that night).
Too grim for my tastes.
Too self-consciously "quirky" for my tastes.
Good picture, but I found Before Midnight eminently better.
Meh.
Loved it.
Found the portrayal of Zuckerberg to be a cartoon. The rest of it? Meh.
Thought it was overrated the first time I saw it, but liked it a lot on second viewing.

If you're going to slag us off then at least learn how to use our punctuation. Hamburger, Hot Dog, Root Beer, Pussy | |

Mark Kermode knows his shit.
ACE is dead on about Match Point. Quite a film. Woody didn't always have to be funny. He certainly got his idea from his love of Hitchcock.
Rico, not so suave. All you others say Hell Yea!! | |

With 84 years remaining in this century this list will obviously undergo vast changes, but what a cool place to start the ongoing exploration/debate.
I would include "Match Point" on my theoretical list, too. However, this list is far, far more capable. * 177 voters (52 women, 122 men) * Professions: newspapers, magazines, websites, academics, cinema curators. * 6 of 7 continents (so much for "Lovers of the Arctic Circle"). * 36 countries * 81 pollsters from the U.S. * 19 from the U.K. * 5 from Germany, France, Cuba, and Canada * 4 from Australia, Columbia, India, Israel, and Italy * Also: Lebanon, the UAE, China, Bangladesh, Chile, Namibia, Kazakhstan, and 18 others. Of course this needs to be even more diverse. But most other polls are so thin you can see right through them. If I were to take a time machine to the year 2100 I'm guessing that the most prominent change here will be found in the national makeup and the parenthetical auteur stamp. It's been happening for decades already, but I think diversity is going to explode in the most profound manner. And by "diversity" I'm not meaning some politically correct babble, I mean the natural force of embarrassing riches that exists all around us—and in us—that we far too often tragically squander. Wish I were going to be alive at the end of it.

Does the book give more info on Anton Chigur? He is indeed a great villain but the film gave very little info on him. Which was probably intended in order to make him more mysterious but still...I am still wondering who he really was, his background etc. etc.

No, the book doesn't give any more background info on him. The movie is basically the book on screen. There's no real deviations from it. The ending is a little different in that where the movie ends, the book continues for a little bit afterwards. | |
