I am starting to think this scene from No Country for Old Men is perfect

The best scene in the movie IMO is when Chigurh is telling the old man to call the coin flip. It's such an incredibly tense scene the first time you see it, and something about us as the audience knowing exactly what the the coin flip is for while the old man is oblivious just adds to it. Bardem is just amazing in that role.

That's vanity

Perfect two scenes imo are sheriff describing the couple that held ppl captive in basement BC of how it came off as a legit story; and Woody Harrelson's scene where he gets killed. Every scene with Woody had great dialogue imo.

I am realizing and appreciating the genius and depth of Tommy Lee Jones' soliloquy at the end more and more with every view.

Indeed. I didn't realize how excellent it was on my first watch because I was so spellbound, but now I look forward to it on each viewing. Same for the scene in OP

I'll continue being the only one that doesn't like this movie.

So many themes
I contend that Chigurh wasn't going to kill Carson until the phone rang. The phone ringing was fate and then Anton knew, as an agent of death/fate that it was time to kill him. Carson knew it too

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

Word, I'll try to give it a shot some time soon since your movie tastes always align so closely with mine. Just for whatever reason, I have always put off watching this one.
Posted on 2/9/17 at 8:35 am to CocomoLSU
I've probably seen it no less than 10 times
It's a masterpiece imo.
But hopefully it's not been built up TOO much

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

I don't understand why Carson didn't try to flee from a limping Chigurth on the stairway. I assume he thought he could outsmart him?

I knew it was inevitable. I had to admit my situation - there was a certain dignity in it

Great exchange between 2 fine actors.

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.
