What amazes me about the Coens is that they're excellent writers and editors. There are ridiculously few directors who write and edit. Kurosawa is one of the other few.

I am your Redeemer! It is by my hand that you arise from the ashes of this world!

I remember going into Inside Llewyn Davis knowing nothing about it, and about a quarter of the way through thinking "Boy, this is a lot like O Brother Where Art Thou?" Once I realized it was Coen Bros, I felt a little silly, but O Brother is my favorite movie so I guess it says something about ILD.

What do you think it means, bitch?
I was always of the impression that their strength was setting re-creation (including characters) to an absurd level. Perhaps some of that is due to the material they adapt, not well-versed there.
A family member with extensive experience in West Texas in the 70s or so was blown away by No Country's setting and characters. Taken as a whole, I wasn't really impressed, but that's from a wholly different viewpoint.

Ladykillers had some enjoyable parts and is probably their only one I've watched more than once.

Hail Caesar was also thoroughly enjoyable as a sort of period piece but had a few dud spots in it.

O Brother and its soundtrack were also good.

Never too taken with Lebowski, and saw True Grit but meh.

also there was a teenage runaway that moss picked up and was found dead in the room they totally left out of the movie
