The Virgin Suicides for me. I bought it last week and haven't been able to work up the gumption to watch it yet. Maybe tonight.

The movie is an adaptation of the book by Cormac McCarthy. The book won the Pulitzer and the James Tait Memorial Prize.

"Depression Porn without substance" is a funny way to characterize the movie.

I've seen No Country for Old Men, unfortunately nothing else from your list. I did enjoy that one.
