I agree Wizard Master, and I think either it or A Serious Man is my favorite, of theirs.

Lord Frankenstyle: Dec 3, 2005; Mmmm,
You smell like Lysol Wipes.

It's almost too close to call between Raising Arizona, Big Lebowski, and Fargo. And maybe Barton Fink.

It's hard to believe the same guys also made Ladykillers and No Country for Old Men, though.

No Country for Old Men is legitimately one of the most terrifying films I've seen. The scene where Josh Brolin tracks Javier Bardem through the night made me poo poo my pants

Anyone who answers The Ladykillers should be blinded and not allowed to discuss movies ever again.

Jesus Christ that was a complete misfire of a movie.

These.

Gotta love The Dude.

And gotta love a serial killer who is good with pressurised gas, and the sheriff a hair away from retirement whose old eyes have seen innumerable things even FYAD couldn't handle.

And O Brother Where Art Thou. I had dismissed bluegrass, gospel etc. musics until I saw this. A while after theatrical release, there was a kickin' televised concert with most of the soundtrack artists playing all the songs.

one of the funnier side effects of o brother is it brought ralph stanley a new audience who had no clue that he was more of a gospel singer than old timey bluegrass guy and how religious his shows were

lotsa confused looks when he started prosyletizing between songs

Tie between Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, The Hudsucker Proxy, and O Brother.

Blood Simple is crazy good. It's up there with Citizen Kane and The Maltese Falcon in terms of great debut films.

frytechnician: Jan 8, 2004; Happy to see me?

No Country For Old Men is an exceptional movie and probably their masterpiece. It avoids a lot of the goofiness that irritates me in their other works, looks loving phenomenal, is well acted, well paced and is just a text book version of how to adapt a book into a film. Big Lebowski's OK.... never got the adoring praise it's fans heap upon it. Miller's Crossing and Fargo are also pretty good but still feature this trademark awkward humour which I don't like. The Hudsucker Proxy is loving terrible.

The thing I find with Coen films is that they definitely have their style and fair play to them for carving out their niche but I find they include a lot of short scenes involving pointless dialogue. I'm aware that not everything has to have a meaning but it feels kind of tacked on sometimes and doesn't really go anywhere.

I haven't seen any of these movies, which is weird. Maybe I have the Coen bros confused with some other duo.
