Higher or Lower: Fewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I did love No Country for Old Men until the confusing, ambiguous, trailing off into the sunset ending. I would love to give it something higher—it's just that endings are important. The Turning was similar, although not nearly as big of a case; it's also not here as I'd rate it higher than 3.7 since it was pretty decent and had potential, as No Country was epic up until that fateful time. The rest of these I rated 1.5 to 6 stars under the IMDb average.
