I just saw Michael Clayton. Great acting, great story and then afterwards I rewatched my No Country DVD. I don't know why but I think its one of my least favorite Coen films just a couple notches above the lawyer movie with George Clooney that I'm too lazy to look up.

is someone stuck in 2007?

Lets make a whole new thread about it! Screw the review threads that already exist. Your opinion, Ronnie Dobbs, is much too important to lump in with those other two threads.

I liked Michael Clayton but....nah.

I agree

I need to re-watch "Michael Clayton" - but I don't think I'll ever like it as much as "No Country for Old Men".

I second this motion. NCFOM is just a bloody hitman movie, masquerading as a morality tale that will save us all.

*runs away from thread*

Clayton is shit compared to NCFOM

Yentl is better than Ishtar.
Schindler's List is better than The Bucket List.
Lawrance of Arabia is better than Lawrence of Zombania.
There Will Be Blood is better than I Drink Your Blood.
Taxi Driver is better than Driving Miss Daisy.
The Departed is better than The Arrival.
No Country for Old Men is better than Michael Clayton.

WAIT a second. Surely, you jest? Right?

Michael Clayton is one big safe cliched film while NCFOM is the exact opposite.

If you measure both films by just the first 90%, No Country is miles better than Clayton... but if you judge them on the last 10%, Clayton all the way. Both movies are good and neither has anything to do with each other, so I don't understand the comparison.

Predator is better than Boleyn Girls

I agree with this. Clayton was pretty good, but doesn't hold a candle to NCFOM

Heh, I'm up for some friendly piling on...

I haven't seen Michael Clayton, but there were 103 movies or shorts last year I found better than the Coens' latest.

Here are a few American (or at least English language) works released in 2007 that easily surpassed No Country for Old Men:

Inland Empire
The Cats of Mirikitani
Helvetica
Rescue Dawn
Once
Starting Out in the Evening
Eastern Promises
Southland Tales
The Simpsons Movie
Sunshine
The Bourne Ultimatum
Enchanted
Stardust

NCFOM best film of 2007!

My opinion is better than yours.

well, it is set up to be the next "Michael Myers" or Jason" franchise, so...

Haven't seen Michael Clayton, but I have a gut feeling I'll disagree upon seeing it. NCFOM is a perfect film.

Movies better than No Country for Old Men:

Grindhouse
Juno
The Namesake
Black Snake Moan

Crack + You = This post.

I thought it was called I Drink Your Milkshake or is there a movie called I drink your blood?

My opinion brings all the boys to the yard. Damn right.

Clayton didn't deserve its Best Picture nom, NCFOM was one of the best of '07.

Strongly disagree, although Michael Clayton is a good movie.
