I enjoyed both but I know the endings didnt sit well with some people and No country's ending I didn't exactly like but what they were going for was unmatched and that realism and no happy endings was shown when most the time movies dont.

There Will Be Blood by far. Everything about it is better. sammyjenkis898
What do you boys like about it specifically?! I'm not really a fan of Paul Thomas Anderson, so I wasn't expecting to like it. I was pleasantly surprised after I saw it. I just enjoyed it so much more then I did No County For Old Men. The themes it presented, Daniel Day Lewis' performance, the score, the cinematography etc.. It should have won Best Picture.
They are both good, but There Will Be blood was just about an historically greedy ahole that, over time, let his greed drive him to madness, and then the movie ended. At least Cohen Brother's films have additional dimesions to them.

But its also about religion and the irony that someone strong in their beliefs was just as greedy as the capitalist. And its more than about greed, because we find out everything about this man: his sneaky business methods, like the way he uses his son to project this family image, his incapacity to see good in people, his ruthlessness to see people as anything more than a competitor, his asexuality as well and his lack of empathy and cold blooded nature.

It also had one of the best performances of the decade.

Yeah, I forgot those aspects. They are both very good films, in slightly different ways.
