No Country for Old Men

No movie comes closer to its book version than Oscar®-winning Best Picture No Country for Old Men. The creepy cat and mouse game is based on Cormac McCarthy's novel—and the dialogue is taken from the book word for word. Javier Bardem's spine-tingling performance earned him the Oscar, though the haircut helped too.
