Including BAR and Changeling is a joke. This is clearly a group that loves Clint Eastwood.
They probably thought (as I do) that No Country for Old Men is so good is deserves to be on the list 2 years in a row.
I haven't liked any of Clint's films since Mystic River. I was on my way to see Changeling until I saw it was 140 minutes.
