No Country overall for general atmosphere,  but TWWB has best ending easily!

Alex said it all in few words, but I'm going to agree with Anthony and vote fore TWBB only because of Daniel Day-Lewis.Thumbs Up

'I drink your milkshake' was just one of the best little monologues ever. But I still have to go with No Country.. It was alot more fun to watch.

I love NCFOM, I once started Blood, but never finished it. I'm looking forward to do that.

He had large shoes to fill in 'Gangs' as well - Scorcese originally wanted De Niro for the role

Agree, I come back to that movie more often, whereas NCFOM I rarely watch.

Tough call.
 
No Country has an aspect about it that makes me want to watch it all the through, especially on repeated watchings, similar to Pulp Fiction. However, I wasn't all too thrilled with the ending. Conversely There Will Be Blood has a better ending but doesn't entice me to watch it all the way through again.
 
So I suppose I'll vote for NCFOM.
