Which one do you think was better? They are some of my favorite movies and want to hear your opinions on them. Which do you like better and why?

Those are two excellent movies, but I liked Gran Torino better. I didn't like they way No Country For Old Men ended.

I didn't either. And in Gran Torino I didn't want the old man to die either, especially when he didn't have a weapon but he did it to get everyone arrested. No country was more of a on your toes type movie though

Yeah, but Gran Torino also had some comedic value.

x2 i love the rascism in it , it was so funny!! lol im not rascist tho

They are both mediocre at best. At best.

No Country For Old Men and it's not even close.

Gran Torino was just okay. If that old guy (Eastwood) tried mouthing off like that in the hood, he'd be dead the first day. :

although its unfair to compare two totally different movies,  its 'no country' hands down.

some of you need to watch it again. cant you feel that pit bull swimming right behind you?

those of you who read books and like 'no country' have to check out some of Cormac McCarthy's books. Blood Meridian is straight up brutal.

Man this is a tough one.  I voted for Gran Torino just because I don't like the way No Country For Old Men ended. Also what kind of name is No Country For Old Men?

Bigfruits; I'll check those books out man. Thanks.

Well, the ending is part of what makes the movie. As an old friend of mine says, 'it doesn't play by the rules'. Movies like 'The Departed' 'Fallen' are movies like this that don't have happy endings just like life. Sometimes good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people.

As for the title, here's a quote from Tommy Lee Jones' character (Ed Tom Bell):

Ed Tom Bell: I was sheriff of this county when I was twenty-five years old. Hard to believe. My grandfather was a lawman; father too. Me and him was sheriffs at the same time; him up in Plano and me out here. I think he's pretty proud of that. I know I was. Some of the old time sheriffs never even wore a gun. A lotta folks find that hard to believe. Jim Scarborough'd never carry one; that's the younger Jim. Gaston Boykins wouldn't wear one up in Camanche County. I always liked to hear about the oldtimers. Never missed a chance to do so. You can't help but compare yourself against the oldtimers. Can't help but wonder how theyd've operated these times. There was this boy I sent to the 'lectric chair at Huntsville Hill here a while back. My arrest and my testimony. He killt a fourteen-year-old girl. Papers said it was a crime of passion but he told me there wasn't any passion to it. Told me that he'd been planning to kill somebody for about as long as he could remember. Said that if they turned him out he'd do it again. Said he knew he was going to hell. "Be there in about fifteen minutes". I don't know what to make of that. I sure don't. The crime you see now, it's hard to even take its measure. It's not that I'm afraid of it. I always knew you had to be willing to die to even do this job. But, I don't want to push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don't understand. A man would have to put his soul at hazard. He'd have to say, "O.K., I'll be part of this world."
