1001 Movies ... my own version (2000's) (100 movies items)" Notes: At last, the Coen brothers finally did it. They finally got their deserved Academy Award for the Best Picture! And, yet, I have to admit that I actually ended up with some mixed feelings about this movie. The first issue was that there was such a hype when it came out and, to be honest, I was actually a slightly disappointed.

Slant's 100 Best Westerns of All Time (100 movies items)"Joel and Ethan Coen’s concise, efficient script proficiently captures Cormac McCarthy’s melancholic view of the disparities between the old and the young, whether it be Ed Tom Bill’s (Tommy Lee Jones) utilization of horses to scour the desolate desert for clues, or his bafflement at the callous disregard for the dead (and propriety) shown by a guy transporting corpses to the morgue.
