The title of this thread says it all. No spoilers please.

Miller's Crossing
Barton Fink
The Hudsucker Proxy

Now, I've seen Fargo, The Man Who Wasn't There, Intolerable Cruelty, Raising Arizona, No Country for Old Men, O Brother Where Art Thou? and The Big Lebowski. Am I missing any more essential views?

Blood Simple, which is their first.

[Ontir]

There are only 2 I've not seen: Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? and Intolerable Cruelty. I'm going to see Oh Brother, Where Art Though?.

See everything, it's worth it! Even Ladykillers.

[parrish]

The only two I don't care for are Intolerable Cruelty and Hudsucker, But from your list, I think you have seen the best ones.

[Shellhead]

Yeah, Blood Simple was very interesting. Highly stylized, but interesting.

[jesse_custer]

Miller's Crossing, I believe, is the best Coen brothers film.

Blood Simple is essential. It sets up a lot of what they would do for Fargo and No Country.

Barton Fink is their most enigmatic film. Great characters and interesting plot.

Hudsucker Proxy is a throwback to 1940s movies. It's OK but not as great as the others you haven't seen.

Screw The Ladykillers. Their worst film and probably Tom Hanks' worst performance.

[Tobias March]

Millers Crossing is fantastic, hunt it down.

Personally I love the Hudsucker Proxy :smile:

'sure sure...'

The Big Lebowski is the only Coen Brothers movie I've seen I didn't like.

[Tobias March]

The Big Lebowski is the only Coen Brothers movie I've seen I didn't like.

Whoa lets not say anything we can't take back... :wink:

[Gilda Dent]

Whoa lets not say anything we can't take back... :wink:

Well, I haven't seen Oh Brother Where Art Thou, so there's a small possibility that might end up on the list.

[GRANT!]

The Big Lebowski is the only Coen Brothers movie I've seen I didn't like.

Probably because you weren't stoned when you saw it.

[jessecuster3]

Probably because you weren't stoned when you saw it.

This is completely ludicrous. Please take it back.

[Gilda Dent]

This is completely ludicrous. Please take it back.

Why? He was right. I wasn't stoned when I saw it.

[Omega Alpha]

The only one I haven't see was Intolerable Cruelty. And I enjoy all the others.

Gods, sometimes I hate this town. I hit three video stores last night, and none of them have even heard of The Hudsucker Proxy, let alone have a copy of it. I managed to buy a previously viewed copy of Barton Fink for $10 at the last place I looked. For some stupid reason I thought I'd be able to buy a copy of the three movies at Wal-Mart, but they had nothing at all.

I was going to rent Miller's Crossing, but there was nothing else I wanted to see, so I ended up going to another store (where I got Fink) and rented Big Lebowski again, along with another movie. What a waste of an hour.

[Scott Free]

Well you've seen Fargo, The Big Lebowski, and No Country For Old Men, so you've seen the best. As for the ones you've missed, the only one I've seen is Barton Fink. It was pretty good. Not as good as the 3 mentioned above, but pretty good.

.......... check out Crimewave (1985) - if you can find it - writen by the coens directed and disowned by sam rami - staring louise lasser , bruce campbell ( duh ) and the late great brion james - kinda a mess but an amazing mess
