11) No Country for Old Men - Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Kelly Macdonald, Tess Harper, Woody Harrelson (May 11, 2008)
The Coen Brothers are back with their latest film, a modern western that tells the tale of a man who finds 2 million dollars and then is hunted by a hitman who is trying to retrieve the money. The story takes many twists and turns, and leaves many bodies in its wake. It is a violent film, probably not for everyone to watch, but it is a very intelligent film and leaves the viewer with many questions and points to ponder. Javier Bardem deservedly won an Academy Award for his protrayal of Anton Chigurh, and the film itself won 3 other Academy awards for the Coen Brothers. Not for everyone, at times painful to watch, and difficult to fathom, this is a rare treat, a movie that doesn't answer all the questions. If it interests you, see it!
