10. The Coin Toss – No Country for Old Men (2007)

The tense coin toss scene in No Country for Old Men was largely improvised by Javier Bardem, playing the chilling assassin Anton Chigurh. Although the script outlined the interaction, Bardem added his unnerving pauses and menacing tone to the scene, creating an atmosphere of dread.
His spontaneous choices elevated the scene, turning a simple coin flip into a metaphor for fate and chance, and solidifying Chigurh as one of cinema's most memorable villains.
