I saw this movie in school in one of my cinema class cause we had to analyse it and i was happily surprise. This film doesn't really follow boundaries and you never expect whats going to happen next and that's what makes it good and you just got to love Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem) in this movie, those who saw it know what I'm talking about.

''How come you knew all the answer''. This one sentence is stuck in my head forever. Loved the story and the way it was told this is the kind of movie that just makes you smile.

OK, I admit it, I haven't seen this movie yet. Yeah I know shame on me, what I am waiting for, I don't know? But it definitely is on my list of movies to watch.

Award For The Best Picture

Even though i don't always agree with the pick for best picture of the year, i can't argue that they all are very interesting films. More than 80 movies have won this price now, so i came to ask myself this question: what is the Best Best Picture of all time?

Instead of asking the academy this time we're gonna let the public decide! To help you make your choice I've put a description of my personal favorite and of the last 3 films that won the award

Voice you're opinion in the best Best Picture pool and help me decide what is the best movie ever!...

The Best, Best Picture Of All Time
