This is the second movie on this list directed by the Coen Brothers, but this is their masterpiece. Released in 2007, the film was universally praised and won best picture at the Oscars. The story revolves around a guy named Llewelyn who while hunting comes upon a drug deal gone bad, and while there he finds a suitcase full of money. Little does he know there is a tracker hidden in the case. And a sociopathic hit man has been hired to get it back. This movie has an old feel to it, and that's one thing I love about it. It takes a page out of the old Clint Eastwood playbook where actions speak louder than words. But undoubtedly the best aspect of No Country for Old Men is Javier Bardem's performance. It may be the best performance by a supporting actor I've ever seen in a movie. And I truly believe no on could could have played the part any better. His performance would would go on to win him best supporting actor at the Oscars. No Country for Old Men is a violent and intense thriller that is one for the ages.
