The Coen brothers have brought us another classic, and personally this writer’s favorite since, the genius that is, The Big Lebowski. No Country For Old Men is a distinctly American crime story that explores biblical themes (in case you haven’t already noticed a pattern with Coen brothers movies) in a contemporary Southwestern setting. A modern classic for sure.

What this means to you: It’s terrifically disturbing, terrifyingly enigmatic and belongs in your movie collection today.

DVD: $16 @ Amazon or Best Buy

Does this movie look as cool to you as it does to us? Tony Stark, a billionaire industrialist and inventor, is kidnapped and forced by his captors to design and build a weapon. Secretly, Stark instead creates a mechanized suit of armor and escapes. Returning to the U.S., he discovers a dangerous plot and becomes Iron Man to stop it.

What this means to you: Our take - Robert Downey Jr. gets suited up and uses his impossibly unending amounts of money, talents and looks to get the girl, shoots the bad guys, use a lot of ridiculously awesome gadgets and drive a shit-ton of bad ass cars, including the Audi R8. It had us at money.

Now, go watch it.
