O Brother is an undeniable comedy classic too. Not a big fan of Llewyn Davis either tbh. Felt like an indie film vaguely aping their style instead of a Coen bros film.

I've watched almost all of them, so I'm unimpressed by half or more: O Brother, Ladykillers, Lebowski, Blood Simple, Llewyn, Arizona, also kinda Barton Fink. Not sure if I'm forgetting anything.

Most directors that I'd call myself a "fan" of, I like 90% of their movies or more.

But who cares. They've made movies I like and ones I don't care much for. It is what it is.

You're both crazy, that's one of their best. Plus, who doesn't like Lebowski??

Isn't it a crime to not like Lebowski?

I thought Blood Simple was just fine and lacked the depth of their later work though it did have similar themes of retribution. Like a 6 or 7 out of 10. It's been years though, I should probably revisit it.

Lebowski's brill

Lebowski O Brother Ladykillers and Raising Arizona are the essential Coen comedies in my opinion. Though Arizona is a TAD "outdated" at this point.

Burn after Reading and Intolerable Cruelty are fun and worth a watch, and Hail, Caesar was very disappointing for me. Maybe I will try it again in 10 years.

Inside Llewyn was also pretty lame, but at least Goodman's character was interesting.

I really need to rewatch True Grit... That was a goodun.
