If you want to do more westerns, I'd highly recommend Rio Bravo! It's an excellent hang-out movie with a perfect pacing of action scenes and a great performance from Dean Martin and Ricky Martin.
Great video, but just want to add I agree with Joe, I think the ending is perfect. It's noir in the truest form, which means an overall cynical worldview and a doomed protagonist. Closer to Chinatown or Double Indemnity than hard-boiled stories like The Maltese Falcon or The Big Sleep. The title, "No Country for Old Men" fits perfectly with the idea that the old-time sheriff is simply outmatched and gives up, choosing to retire instead of try and hunt down the big bad guy who he's so terrified of.
Great review guys. Glad to see you both looking better than ever in 2025!
