[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 9243672, member: 85555"] I haven't seen nearly enough Coen Brothers movies. So I will do a paired down list from the ones I have seen 6. Raising Arizona: I watched this movie a lot as a kid because it must have been on HBO or something. Maybe if I rewatched it now, it would get a much higher ranking. But I just can't bring myself to watch it again because something about the memories I have of this movie. I don't know what it is, call it reverse nostalgia, but that puts this lower on the list for me than it probably ought to be. 5. Hudsucker Proxy: This too was on HBO a lot (or a similar channel). But the difference is I was probably in highschool at this point. I remember loving this movie. I remember really loving Jennifer Jason Leigh in it. But it is a bit corny, so lower on the list. 4. Burn After Reading: I loved this movie. Didn't see it until years after it came out. I am glad I waited because all the negative attention it got at the time wasn't on my mind when I saw it. Genuinely funny film. Especially if you are into anything dealing with intelligence agencies ( and lack thereof in this case). And the characters in this one. They are just wonderfully dumb but charming. Every character in this film pops. 3. Miller's Crossing: This could easily have been 1 or 2 for me. Talk about a good movie. I love gangster films. And this is such an unusual gangster movie. I haven't seen it as much as I should. But it is one of those films I go back to in my mind all the time. Also I have never had a movie make me feel like I was marching into the woods to be shot the way this movie did. This is also one of my favorite Gabriel Byrne Roles (Uther Pendragon in Excalibur would be another). 2. Fargo: This is I think the best movie of theirs I have seen in terms of film making. It is just stunning. The use of the winter landscape adds so much to the story. Every part of the story just works. It would be number one, but it isn't the kind of movie I want to pop in all the time. 1. Big Lewboski: This gets number one because it is the most rewatchable for me. I love spending time with the characters. It is the perfect hangout movie, but it still has plot. The humor, the music, the mood, everything works for me. [/QUOTE]
