    Damn.  I absolutely love No Country as well.  Lot of good ones here that are tightly packed together for me, but No Country is a top 3.

    No country was really good but not better than the others, to me.
    This movie is one of the better adaptations from a great book...such an amazing book and they really did it justice.

    It's too overwrought. The Coens spent so much time and energy adapting a Cormac McCarthy novel that they forgot to make a Coen Brothers' film.

    The subtle comedy in both RA and Brother are what I adore about them.  That wit.

    Your fuckin' lady friend should find it a zesty enterprise -- that is, unless she's a fuckin' lady friend with a cleft asshole.

    Depends on the types of movies she likes, but I'd say either.  Wouldn't shy away from having her watch with you though.  Great movie and would be one of the last two I'd vote off.

    What's the rumpus? 46% voting against. That's fucked!

    Oh well, my favorite isn't even a choice.

    That definitely helps.  Does it have a pulp fiction feel?

    I would say no. It does not have the violence that Pulp Fiction does. It is more quirky. Lots of good dialogue - many quotable lines. The cast is great. I went to an event in NYC for some anniversary of the movie, and all the cast was there. They were on stage talking about the film. It was awesome!!

    RA is one of my family's movies. I used to watch it with my brother & cousin and we knew damn near every line. I'm sorry that you didn't have the same kind of experience.

    Never in my life have I been able to watch a movie Nic Cage was in more than once, to the point where I stopped watching movies with him as a cast member all together.

    Same.  Not sure the last time I watched one of his movies.  Think it was one of the Mission Impossible ones.
