Favorite Coen Brothers film?

Poll question: Favorite Coen Brothers film?

I left The Ladykillers out. Sorry about that.

[bigwillq]

1. Fargo

But I liked Miller's Crossing, Raising Arizona almost as much.

[jonnyblitz]

19. fargo for me too , hands down.

Steve Buscemi was great in that and I loved the accents! "why'd yah have to go and put yer buddie in the woodchipper" and "margie I saw you on the tee vee"

[LDS Jock]

23. Fargo.. you're such a super lady

or whatever the Asian guy said to Margie. I love that movie.

[SmileyBoy]

2. Here's my top five:

1) Fargo
2) The Big Lebowski
3) Raising Arizona
4) The Hudsucker Proxy
5) Barton Fink

I never cared for Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing or O' Brother, tho. I've watched every Coen Brothers movie ever made, as a gesture of good will to them, being two of the most famous people to ever graduate from my old high school (next to Al Franken).

3. O' Brother

[loudestchick]

4. Give me back that baby, you warthog from hell!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

5. Where is pancakes house?

[derbstyron]

6. I would have to go with Miller's Crossing

although I have enjoyed almost all of them, esp. Fargo, very much

[Boswells_Johnson]

7. Nobody F**cks With The J***us!

[autorank]

8. They're all great except that 'Hudsucker' thing. WTF?

Blood Simple

How sweet it is!!!

[reprehensor]

9. "Complete fuckin' silence. See how you like it."

[bettyellen]

10. i love the bros- always will!

[Heimdallr]

11. Barton Fink. All who vote otherwise are whores.

Oh, hold on, I meant 'mistaken', or perhaps 'unaware of this particular choice.'

'Whores'?!?! What was I thinking?

[Metatron]

26. Welcome to DU!

You are right - Barton Fink is their best film so far!

[PittPoliSci]

12. "The dude abides."

:hippie:

[stanwyck]

13. Gotta go with Lebowski

the dude abides. I liked its trippy visuals and the wonderfully zonked Jeff Bridges. Plus any movie with a "marmot:, nihilists, and a musical production number with giant bowling pins earns extra points.

[SmileyBoy]

14. "Leave us the fuck alone, Donny!! This doesn't concern you!!"

The best line in the movie.

[stanwyck]

15. Is this your homework, Larry?

Is this your homework?
My son and I text message each other lines from the movie.
There are so many.

[Boswells_Johnson]

16. LOL...."See what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!"

[Guaranteed]

17. Best movie ever made!

:)

[jakpalmer]

25. "Gutterballs"

:-)

[PittPoliSci]

18. ladykillers was a remake anyway...

though i did find it somewhat enjoyable, it wasn't up to the standard set by greats like Big Lebowski and Raising Arizona.

[Rowdyboy]

20. "Well I don't want Fop, goddamn it!...I'm a Dapper Dan man!"

28. "My HAIR!!!"

21. Can't Help It - I'm a Hudsucker Fan

I suspect it's mostly for the soundtrack.


trivia note: in Raising Arizona, when they show Hi (H.I. Donnough) at his welding job, the tag on his shirt reads "Hudsucker Industries."

[mac56]

27. Me too.

Loved Fargo, O Brother, Raising Arizona. Appreciated Miller's Crossing and Blood Simple.

But The Hudsucker Proxy just makes me smile.

Add on edit: I absolutely hated Barton Fink. Scared the hell out of me. I slept with the lights on afterward.

22. Oh George, not the livestock...

and...

They done loved him all up and turned him into a horney toad!

or...

Do any of you Gentlemen know the fine art of metallurgy?

and...

He's Bonified!

[hfojvt]

24. I have only seen two of them

Fargo and Raising Arizona in spite of my connection to them - I took an economics course from their dad at the University of Minnesota and had him write a letter of recommendation for me to graduate school. That was in 1984, about the time Blood Simple came out.

[ghostsofgiants]

29. The Big Lebowski

Probably the most quotable movie ever.

[DS1]

30. That's what I was going to write

/brevity thing

[katinmn]

31. loved it n/t
