Best Coen brothers film?

[Sarah_Jayne]

I bought a dvd box set today and have been working my way through.

I think my top three would be:

Fargo
The Big Lebowski
The Hudsucker Proxy

Though there a few others that I feel bad leaving out.

1.)Big Lebowski: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS, LARRY....
2.)Barton Fink: I WILL SHOW YOU THE LIFE OF THE MIND!

Big Lebowski and The man who wasnt there (black and white version awesome camera and ligt work) ...

Those are the two I didn't want to leave out but I thought a top five was indulgent

All mentioned are brilliant, but without a doubt my favourite:



A few of the many, many lines:
Do these (balloons) blow up into funny shapes?
Not unless you think round is funny.

Now, what's it gonna be young feller? You want I should freeze or get down on the ground? 'Cause if'n I freeze, I can't rightly drop. And if'n I drop, I'm gonna be in motion.

Say, did you hear about the person of the Polish persuasion who walked into a bar with a big 'ol pile of shit in his hands and he says, "Look what I almost stepped in"?

I'll be taking these Huggies and whatever cash ya got ... and make it quick, I'm in dutch with the wife

Round is most definitely funny --

I love writers/directors that have a sort of troop of actors they put in most of their films. I love how Kevin Smith does that and the Coens are another team that does it. Plus, they tend to cast Oscar winners before they win their Oscars.

The Big Lebowski. Quite possibly my favorite movie.

Barton Fink is a masterpiece.

Barton Fink is a masterpiece.

I am ashamed to say that I haven't seen it. I keep meaning to but haven't yet. It is in the box set so I will watch it tonight, I think.

I love Big Lebowski, somehow I never get tired of watching it.
