Coen Bros.
 

Yikes no thread on them yet!?! Well I did a search for "Fargo" and it didn't come up with a Coen Bros. specific thread. I figure any thread about the Coen Bros. will have Fargo involved.

So anyways, I haven't seen all of their films (including some of their best), though based on what I have seen, this is how they'd rank, from favorite to least favorite:

1. No Country For Old Men
2. Fargo
3. Barton Fink (truly bizarre movie and by extension awesome!)
4. Blood Simple
5. Raising Arizona
6. Burn After Reading
7. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
8. Intolerable Cruelty
9. The Ladykillers
10. The Man Who Wasn't There

I liked all of them though.

I'm still waiting to see Miller's Crossing, The Hudsucker Proxy, The Big Lebowski, and A Serious Man. Any suggestions for which one first? :D

The Big Lebowski all the way. I love Jeff Bridges...especially after The Men Who Stare At Goats.

I've only dipped my toes in their works (seen about 8 or 9 so far) but you're definitely missing two of their best if you haven't seen The Big Lebowski or Miller's Crossing yet. Everyone will cite The Big Lebowski here, but the truth is its awesomeness still exceeds its cult status. I don't think I've ever met anyone who saw it that didn't love that movie.

I didn't find The Big Lebowski very funny at all *shrugs*

No Country and Fargo are excellent films though...

Watch the Big Fuckin' Lebowski.

I haven't seen a huge amount of Coen Bros films but as V&F said No Country For Old Men and Fargo are great.

I've seen all of their movies except A Serious Man. Aside from Hudsucker Proxy I'm a huge fan of all their older movies, but everything they've done since The Man Who Wasn't There has been kind of lackluster in my opinion.

The Big Lebowski it is.

What about NCFOM?

Did anyone else like Barton Fink as much as I did? The movie seems very underrated.

Big Lebowski is one of their best movies, so good call! :)

I didn't like it at all.

I love that one! It's one of my favorite Coen brothers movies and I agree it's kind of underrated.

"I'll show you the life of the mind!"

This.

Really? Hmm, I guess it's not for everyone. I know a lot of people hated the abrupt ending, but I thought it made complete sense in showing how irrelevant the death is to what the movie is truly about.

Hah John Goodman is classic in that one. I also love the Hollywood boss:

and the dectectives:

That movie left me thinking about it's meaning for days. Few movies do that for me anymore. I'm still not sure what it's about.
