My wife rolls her eyes everytime I want to watch "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle" or any of the American Pie movies (all of which are funny)

I think it's the Coen Brothers finest movie - even better than ' Fargo ' and ' Blood Simple '.

' Shawshank Redemption ' is my All - time favourite.

If you like "Fargo" and "No Country", I would recommend "A Simple Plan". I'm not a huge Billy Bob fan, but he was excellent in this movie. Great story line.

I agree that 'No Country For Old Men' is an excellent piece of film making and any weakness in the movie is from the source material. I usually like the author, Cormac McCarthy, and I had read the book before I saw the movie (and was somewhat over my anger at some of the plot points by then).

McCarthy's excellent novel, 'The Road', is being filmed right now with Viggo Mortenson and should be an outstanding movie.

'The Lookout' is an excellent crime thriller that got no attention when it was released and is well worth renting for any of you fans of the genre.
