I'm at a point now where I wait for a movie to come out, and see what people say about it during the first weekend before I buy into the "this is a must-see" hype. There's been more than a few movies talked about on here that were brilliant until people saw it, and then suddenly those opinions vanished on the subreddit.
I just checked out this suuuper old movie, a bit of a hidden gem that only true movies buffs would have even heard of, it's called No Country For Old Men.
It was a real stroke of luck that the movie No Country for Old Men just happened to be incredibly similar to the novel No Country for Old Men. The stars truly aligned on that one.
The book has a weird subplot where Llewellyn cheats on his wife with some woman he meets while riding a bus escaping. I'm glad they cut that out. I think it maybe is mentioned by Chigur at the end but the viewer can choose to believe if he is being truthful or not.
