Shame. It's a GREAT movie! And very funny IMO. The coffee tin moment?

I love every one of the Coen Brothers ilms

To be honest, I could see that predictable joke lumbering into shot from several miles away. All I thought when the payoff moment in that scene happened was "so that's why they set up the previous scene where 'X' died (don't want to ruin it for anyone else so I wont name the character), seemingly for no reason that added to the plot. It was just so that they could insert that clichéd old joke into the subsequent ashes scene."

I'm not a fan of the Coen brothers. I didn't 'get' No Country For Old Men either. Their films just feel like shaggy dog stories to me. I can appreciate the situational comedy in some of their individual scenes, like this one from Fargo. However, as complete stories, most of their stuff leaves me feeling the same way as when you've had your time wasted by being talked at for an hour by the office bore.

It has such a bizarre and twisted end to it.

It's the fact that we can see it but the characters cannot that makes it so funny. And that they are a bunch of idiots who take themselves so seriously. Oh wait .... I hadn't seem the similarity with CUK before

thank goodness for that, I watched thinking 'should I mention the emperor is naked?' glad I didn't pay for it.

No country is great but the ending is infuriating on first watching.

Another recent film i liked was There Will be Blood.

I'm looking for ideas on a good movie to watch tonight.

As you're in germany, I suggest "The Lives of Others".
