No Country for Old Men
This is one that I bought when it first came out on DVD, but still haven't watched it yet. I fear that I may end up not liking it or that it may be a bit too slow/boring for me.
Should I stop being a bitch and just watch it? Is it that good?

I wouldn't call it slow either. Sure there are scenes with little dialogue, but the pacing is such that it's not a chore to get through and their are plenty of very tense moments.
Anton Chigurh is one of cinema's all time great antagonists

DVD or BluRay? If you have Netflix, it is on there in HD.

better
this is one of those movies that i'm glad i saw in theaters b/c it has such great atmosphere/tension
it's like a horror movie in many places, so watch it like you would a horror movie (at night, alone, quiet, no distractions)

One of maybe 6 movies that has broken my 5point rating scale. It's nearly perfect - I can't think of a single thing I'd change

Some movies are exciting on first watch but by the time you've brushed the popcorn out of your teeth, you've ready forgotten most of the movie, and you don't really care.
Some movies are immediately satisfying and they are remembered as a good movie, a good flick.
Some rare movies leave you guessing and a bit unsatisfied upon the first watch. You leave the movie knowing that you just watched something powerful and significant, but you're struggling to get it into focus. The scenes keep replaying themselves in your head as you try to fully appreciate it. There were assumptions you made before starting tne movie, and also while watching, that you have a hard time letting go so that you can see what was actually there and not what you thought you'd see.
Eventually, you watch it again with those preconceived notions put away in your mind. You start to enjoy the characters in a way that you couldn't before. You start to realize that these characters, this story, reveal some deep truths, awaken deep primal emotions, that you simple don't ponder in your every day life.
Then you realize that the movie is a masterpiece. It touched a nerve in you that you didn't know was there, or don't pay attention to very often. It becomes like an old friend that you enjoy visiting again and again from time to time.
So, I hope you enjoy this masterpeice. Give it time to settle on you before you judge it.

I thought it was great and maybe the best movie based on a book I have read in terms of translating from print to screen.
Sorry to hijack, but I never read Blood Meridian and just bought it last week. How does it compare to the No Country book (for anyone who has read both)?

If Breaking Bad knocked up Lonesome Dove, the arse baby would be No Country.

It's easily one of the top-10 films of the 21st century so far. The depth of the characters and incredible acting makes a fairly simple plot into an amazing movie.
It has several scenes which are among the greatest dialogue driven scenes ever.
