Best Coen Brothers Film
 
I thought The man who wasnt there was their best movie, how about you?.

Piddzilla 10-06-03 05:10 PM

The Big Lebowski is my all time favourite comedy so ... The Big Lebowski.

Revenant 10-06-03 05:16 PM

It's a toss-up between 'O Brother Where art Thou?' and 'Raising Arizona'.


Despite that I love 'O Brother Where art Thou?' its going to have to be 'Raising Arizona'.

That film has some very fond memories for me and I think it's unique and brilliant. Nic Cage has not been quite that good since though.

There are about six other threads on this already. Ah well....I'll leave posting those links to somebody like Holden. He is good at it. :p

There really isn't any Coen Brothers movie that I don't love with a passion.....My favorite is probably a combination of Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing, O Brother Where Art Thou, and The Big Lebowski. I dig Fargo....but at the moment not as much as those movies.

While we're sort of on the topic of Fargo, I think I'll ask a question concerning evil (as that is my thing as of late). Who do you think the villain of this movie is? Is William H. Macy's character evil?

I've not seen alot of Coen Bros films, Fargo was my favorite. Big Lebowski was hilarious too.

Miller's Crossing
"That's you all over, Tom: a lie and no heart."

I really need to see Miller's Crossing again.
It didn't sit right with me that first time, and I wants to know why.

I can't wait for Intolerable Cruelty to come out. Its always nice having a Coen bros. picture in theaters.

Beale the Rippe 10-07-03 12:19 AM

So true.... :D

One word for you, Sir:
Adaptation.

I've yet to see that one of his.

Then stop whatever it is you are doing right now and go watch it. NOW! It is Nic Cage's best movie.

Wish I could but I can't afford to, not unless it comes out on Terrestrial Television or Sky.

I haven't seen some of those movies yet (HEY! Quit pelting me with popcorn!) I own "The Man Who Wasn't there". My fave tho is "O Brother" which I don't own, but I own the soundtrack with the 2ed being "Raising Arizonia" which I did own, but was stolen from me by my mother along with my good cookbooks.

nebbit 10-07-03 02:29 PM

MY favourite is THE DUDE. :D

THE BIG LEBOWSKI

:yup:

bloodraveness 10-07-03 02:41 PM

The Big Lebowski is awesome. Also loved Something about Mary.

No, it was a brain fart. Argh crap, S.A.M - that was the Farelly (sp) bros, wasn't it?

:blush:

Beale the Rippe 10-07-03 07:35 PM

Yep. Cool movie...but, as you noticed, wrong people.

You should go see The Man Who Wasn't There. It is VERY good. Beautifully filmed, acted....touching.....great. Check it out.
