Favorite Coen Bros. Movie?

• OneBuckeye

  

  Rip off of Tarentino thread, but in my opinion a much tougher question.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Burn After Reading
• Fab1b

  

  For me Fargo is one of my all time favorite movies!!
• Little Danny

  

  +1 on Fargo.
  
  Blood Simple was a great flick as well and is considered by many to be one of their best works.
  
  I'm sure what ever is the best movie has Frances McDormand in it.

  O' Brother Where Art Thou
  
  I haven't seen Serious Man yet, but will soon.

  Man, first Tarantino and now Coen Bros.! Yay! They're just flat-out awesome film makers. I went with The Big Lebowski for sentimental reasons...but, I had to think hard about Raising Arizona. The premise and everything about that movie is just hilarious. Plus, Fargo can't be messed with, and shit..I could go on and on. Awesome movies.

  That is why I think this question is much harder for the coen bros than any other film maker, because the amount of quality movies they have made is so high and they are all so different it is hard to pick one.

  Some how I haven't seen half the movies on this list, but I really like No Country For Old Men

  Watched Fargo a couple nights ago, and thought it was terrible for some reason. I am a huge fan of the Coen Brothers and have liked all the movies I have seen of theirs. But that movie honestly didn't do it for me. I dunno, maybe I'll have to see it again to appreciate it, I thought Francis Mcdormand's character was annoying as shit.

  This one was easier than the Tarentino thread. I'll have to vote for the only one I've seen. O Brother Where Art Thou.
• Websurfinbird

  

  hmm there are still a number of films I haven't seen, including A Serious Man. But out of the ones I have seen I'd probably go with The Big Lebowski as my top choice, followed by No Country.
  
  Another good one not mentioned is Miller's Crossing

  This.
  
  Seriously that movie was a rite of passage at Jew camp.
• killdeer

  

  good poll...I was actually thinking of that one when I posted the Tarantino one...
  
  I agree, a harder call.
  
  I went with Fargo...the dialogue and timing is fantastic.
  
  O Brother...is a close second.
• bigdaddy2003

  

  This is a very tough poll lol. I've never watched Ladykillers, Serious Man, Man Who Wasn't There, or Big Lebowski. I have Lebowski on my Netflix list though. I really enjoyed No Country, O Brother, Raising Arizona, and Fargo. Burn After Reading wasn't bad.
• Laley23

  

  EASILY The Big Lebowski!
  
  Jeff Bridges is the man in that role.
  
  Best part of the movie is John Turturro "Nobody fucks wit da Jesus!"
  
  But so many great lines:
  "Eight year-olds, Dude"
  "Donny, you're out of your element"
  "Im throwin' rocks tonight"
  "My... my wi-, my wife, Bunny? Do you see a wedding ring on my finger? Does this place look like I'm fucking married? The toilet seat's up, man!"

  Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

  Lebowski and Raising Arizona
• Manhattan Buckeye

  The Big Lebowski Morality scale:
  
  
• stroups

  

  No Country for Old Men is one of my favorite all time movies so it gets my vote.
• that_guy

  Miller's Crossing is probably my favorite, but O Brother & Lebowski are very close.
  I bucket their movies into four categories- Great, Almost Great, Good & Ladykillers (crap):
  
  Great- O Brother Where Art Thou, Miller's Crossing, Big Lebowski, Fargo, No Country for Old Men
  
  Almost Great- Barton Fink, Raising Arizona, Blood Simple
  
  Good- The Man Who Wasn't There, Serious Man, Burn After Reading, Intolerable Cruelty, Hudsucker Proxy
  
  Utter Crap (mainly due to Tom Hanks)- Lady Killers

  I took No Country over Lebowski....other than that, I really don't like any of the other movies.
