I'll add to your list, "The English Patient" .Talk about boring.
I must say that I liked No Country for Old Men. I don't think it was an award worthy movie though.

I've watched a lot of movies from the last year or so and of all the movies I've seen one of the most entertaining was "Flawless" with Michael Caine and Demi Moore. I've always liked crime capers and the movie has a lot of charm and a nice twist at the end.

I revived this topic because we finally watched NCFOM last night. We had no expectations at all, in fact, we didn't even know what the movie was about until we started watching it. Hee hee . . . we're kind of "out of the loop" when it comes to current movies. 
Anyway, since we both like Tommie Lee Jones, we thought we'd give the movie a look. End result . . . . . big disappointment!  Neither one of us can stand movies that have endings that are basicly "non-endings". There was no closure on this movie at all, there was no ending. The bad guy gets away with only a compound fracture of his arm!!?? Thats the ending??? There's no justice in that
In a nutshell, the bad guy wins in this movie. I hate movies like that because it's too much like real life. I want the good guys to win every time!

See, I prefer character-driven realistic movies. I love the Coen brothers and thought NCFOM was incredible. One of the best movies I've ever seen. The point of the movie is very profound. . . there is no fix for the depravity we face in this world. It will continue to get worse - for such trivial things! The lack of a soundtrack was bold and they pulled it off.
However, I know that I like the odd films that don't appeal to the mass populace, so I avoid making recommendations unless I know my tastes match somebody else's.
I also love anything by Wes Anderson. . .

We thought it was the WORST movie we seen in A VERY LONG TIME! Hollywierd can't get enough of the gore, senseless violence and sex. It's probably the last movie we will spend our money on for the foreseable future.
