We're all agreed that no film has bettered There Will Be Blood since it's release?

:wtf: While TWBB showcases some breathtaking technical craft at times, it has serious focus and pacing issues. PTA didn't have a clear grasp of what he wanted to express, and could not sufficiently finesse the dramatic structure. It's not even a Top 10 film of 2007.

No Country is far better.

Zodiac is better.

Into the Wild is better.

Sunshine is better.

Atonement is better.

Michael Clayton is better.

The Darjeeling Limited is better.

Grindhouse is better.

Ratatouille is better.

I could keep going.

There Will Be Blood is a great movie. If I had a Top 25 I'm sure it would be in there somewhere. BUT

It had little to no plot. We kind of just got pulled along bouncing from scenario to scenario that showed us how flawed of a person Daniel Day's character.

I always placed No Country For Old Men above There Will Be Blood.
To me TWBB was a case of a phenomenal lead performance in a pretty good movie.

Yes. I thought so :smugbiden:

Finest film of the last 20 years.

A masterpiece in every single way.

As much as I loved No Country, this should've won the Oscar.

It's storytelling at it's most cinematic. Grandiose , epic, full of layers and depth, but beyond that incredibly entertaining. DDL's performance might be the pinnacle of on screen acting.

And PTA is so talented it actually make's me sick :scusthov:

If he ain't better than Kubrick, he's the closest one. :whew:
This isn't fair becuz No Country For Old Men came out a month before There Will Be Blood in the states.

The way he beat the shyt outta Eli at the end tho. I was :krs: and :heh: when I first saw that shyt.

Possibly my favorite film ever. A lot of symbolism in the main story too

Grindhouse was terrible and Michael Clayton was ok.
