Ben, it is so ironic that your description of Their Will Be Blood actually made we want to see it, since it actually describe so many elements of a great movie! In addition to the great acting and cinematography you acknowledged, you described complex characters, unexpected plot devices, a strong emotional impact and a sharp contrast to the movie Dodgeball.
Movies need not have explosions, battle scenes, fast-paced action, high hilarity or happy endings to be considered a great movie experience. Sometimes, a disturbing, challenging, fascinating, unexpected movie will provide a higher quality use of your time.
What would you consider your top dramatic movies of all time? Movies without any significant action or comedy.
