Best Coen Brothers Film?

Celebrating my shiny new gold star and my membership in the 700 club!

When I saw the scene with the wood-chipper, I had to turn that one off...

RA is a classic but we all laughed our asses of at Fargo.

"I guess that was your buddy in the wood chipper, eh?"

I loved Margie. :-)

Fargo was the first film of theirs I saw, and it took a lot of convincing to get me to watch another.

Depressing, stomach-turning, and not at all funny.

:puke:

Oh, well, I find the Three Stooges excrutiating. Humor is very subjective.

hands down one of my all time favorites

and what's it about?a movie...sheesh

where he says something like "wait...I think I may see it..." and they dunk him in again...
hahahaha

Without a doubt this movie is one of their best.

"Hey man! There's a beverage here!"

Edited for jumping the gun on my own post. Don't mind me... back to studying.

lines from The Big Lebowski all the time. It's very annoying for people who haven't seen the movie. We especially like "Is this your homework, Larry? Is this your homework?" Sigh. Guess you see why it's annoying.

Tied for 2. Fargo and Oh, Brother ...

That is my all time favourite movie...only because everything about it is perfect. The casting, dialogue, camarawork, music...everything. I bet I have seen that movie 250 times, no kidding. I can quote it verbatim, much to the dismay of anyone who happens to be watching it with me! :D


"Alright you hayseeds, this is a stickup! Everybody freeze! Everybody down on the ground!!"
"Well, which is it, young fella, you want I should freeze or get down on the ground? I mean to say, if'n I freeze, I cain't rightly drop, and if'n I drop, I'm a-gonna be in motion. Y'see..."
"SHUT UP!! Everybody down on the ground!!"
"Ok, then" :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Raising Arizona and Fargo, but I chose Fargo. Frances McDormand was great, her oscar was well deserved.

Love 'em both. Two of my all-time favorite movies of all time.

"So, which one of ya slept with the little fella?"

And I also loved BL..... I pretty much love everything they do.

but I LOVED Raising Arizona (I also liked him in Moonlighting, but I digress). John Goodman was priceless in Raising Arizona, hysterical in The Big Lebowski, and creepy as all get-out in O, Brother - I think Goodman is often very unfairly underrated as an actor. But my favorite actor is in one of these choices...Jeff Bridges in the Big Lebowski. You just can't beat it. Dude.

"Am I the only sane person here?!" John Goodman, waving a loaded .45 around in the bowling alley

"It's a league game Smokey"

I could quote that movie all day long.

and trade lines with us. My son considers this movie a dealbreaker with his girlfriends. They have to watch "The Big Lebowski" and like it. Or the relationship is over.

Along with Al Franken and former world champion-Houston Rockets player Jim Peterson. (trivia) Guess which high school that is???

BTW, I voted Fargo.

Washburn
or
Northwest

It used to be the king of ALL Twin Cities high schools back in the '60's. Seriously.

My father went to Washburn and I live in Pittsburgh. So I have no clue.

...the answer is St. Louis Park high school. Interesting fact, cause Al Franken is in the news with that crap lawsuit, and all. And we were talking about the Coen brothers...

Do you see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass?
This is what happens Larry
This is what happens
This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!

I don't know that life gets any better than a packed bowl and lebowski

Unfortunately the silent Fargo voters don't seem to have much to back it up. All a matter of taste I suppose, maybe they never :smoke:

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

But I've always had a soft spot for "The Hudsucker Proxy".

"Barton Fink" completely gooned me out.

I watched it and concetrated on the plot. Some people said to me that it was really funny, but I didn't think so. It was still a good movie.

I like the art direction in Hudsucker. And Paul Newman. He's a good villian.

IMO anyway

for purely estrogen related reasons. Tim Robbins was at the peak of deliciousness in this movie- just a gorgeous guy.

Its a narrow choice between either lebowski or arizona.. i picked arizona.


About o' brother.. i didnt like that movie at all.

Best dark comedy of all time.

Dr. Strangelove takes top honor

to each their own :-)

great tribute to gangster films like "The Glass Key", and great performances by Gabriel Byrne, Albert Finney,and many of the Coen regulars.

Loved them all, actually, and you didn't list "The Man who Never Was" with Billy Bob, James Gandolfini, etc. Blood Simple in the same vein of noire cinema!

And the funny stuff like Big L. Love the scene where they dump Steven Buscemi's ashes and they blow back into their faces!!!

Love them all, actually.
