The idea of this poll is to take the BP winner of each year and reimagine them with the best director nominees of that year, and ask which director would make the best version of that film. If the BP winner was nominated in directing, that option will not be listed.
So our choices for No Country for Old Men are...
Paul Thomas Anderson
Tony Gilroy
Jason Reitman
Julian Schnabel
Previous winners:
2022: Ruben Östlund's Everything Everywhere All at Once
2021: Ryusuke Hamaguchi's CODA
2020: Lee Isaac Chung's Nomadland
2019: Martin Scorsese's Parasite
2018: Spike Lee's Green Book
2017: Jordan Peele's The Shape of Water
2016: Kenneth Lonergan's Moonlight
2015: Lenny Abrahamson's Spotlight
2014: Wes Anderson's Birdman
2013: Martin Scorsese's 12 Years a Slave
2012: Steven Spielberg's Argo
2011: Woody Allen's The Artist
2010: Joel & Ethan Coen's The King's Speech
2009: James Cameron's The Hurt Locker
2008: David Fincher's Slumdog Millionaire

This board is gonna have to explain its PTA cocksucking to me. Gilroy and Schnabel would deliver grittier, more intense versions of this story.

PTA is one of the few people who could improve on regular NCFOM This board is gonna have to explain its PTA cocksucking to me. Gilroy and Schnabel would deliver grittier, more intense versions of this story. I think you've been hacked. Someone lock Stett's account due to suspicious activity. |

PTA's would do something entirely different, as there are only limited thriller elements in Inherent Vice and Hard Eight, and perhaps it would be more so Bell's observations, however whatever it would be, would be unique and likely fascinating.
Gilroy's would be the standardized thriller version, that would probably change the ending to a showdown.
Reitman's would be completely misguided and terrible in many ways.
Schnabel certainly would so something...that could go either way.

Gilroy would make a more straightforward thriller while losing some of the existential dread/angst and dry humor. Schnabel would go off the deep end and make something experimental and probably unsatisfying, Retiman I don't even wanna think about. There Will Be Blood is closest in tone and aesthetic so PTA makes the most sense. Don't know how he'd fare with the thriller elements though. The Coens and Cormac McCarthy were a perfect match.

NCFOM is basically antithetical to PTA's confused, meandering praxis.

PTA. Even though his version would have some offbeat elements but will still be regarded in high esteem through the roof to the same extent as Coens' version though in PTA's case it would be WAY overrated  |
