Intolerable Cruelty
No Country For Old Men
Miller's Crossing

I am open to hearing your (wrong) alternate orderings.

[whathehell]

1. I haven't seen them all, but I'll give you my ranking

of those that I have:

Miller's Crossing
Blood Simple
O Brother where art thou?
Raising Arizona
Big Lebowski
Fargo

[Anon-C]

2. I love Barton Fink but OBWAT is better cinema and a greater work of art.

Its hand to hand combat the rest of the way. Intolerable Cruelty is a sleeper for me, but that's quite high on your list and I would place it after the five films that follow it.

The struggle is real!

[Itchinjim]

3. The Big Lebowski is the single greatest motion picture ever made.

And that's not just like my opinion man.

[GetRidOfThem]

17. Dude!

[Quemado]

4. True Grit gets my vote as their best.

I haven't seen all the Coen movies, but True Grit is the best I've seen.

The 2010 remake renders the 1969 original virtually unwatchable.

Great cast: Jeff Bridges, Hailee Steinfeld, Matt Damon, and Josh Brolin.

[The Blue Flower]

5. Ladykillers would be at the top of my list

Irma P. Hall is in a class of her own.

6. haven't seen them all, but i loves raising arizona.

7. You're wrong, of course.

As we all well know, good taste is my taste.

I still think Fargo is drop-dead funny, and the series derived from them were great, too. I loved O Brother, too. Intolerable Cruelty was hilarious.

I like most anything they do. No Country for Old Men was truly terrifying.

Most movies suck, and their worst is better than most people's best.

[Paladin]

8. I'd place "True Grit" and "Hudsucker Proxy" significantly higher.

I really think "Hudsucker" is one of their most under-appreciated works.

[peekaloo]

14. The boardroom scene in 'HP' when one of the execs

tries to jump AFTER the window was replaced still makes me laugh. Added plus is Paul Newman as the heavy.

As someone else has pointed out, their "worst" movies are still miles ahead of most others best efforts.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

9. Fargo, Lebowski, Miller's, Blood Simple, O Brother, True Grit

[Snellius]

10. A Serious Man is a great movie but you have to be raised orthodox to get much of it.

And if you are, you'll likely hate it because the sarcasm is so oy gevalt.

[peekaloo]

11. First punch: I don't count Ladykillers/Intolerable Cruelty / Crimewave as pure Coens.

Damn I see three I have not seen. *makes mental note and ducks* (Inside/Ballad/the really Jewish one)

Depends on my mood and I'm not particularly moody tonight so I'll throw Miller's Crossing as my favorite and think about the rest. Must admit with the Gym Jordan controversy swirling I have been thinking of that line from Barton Fink about how "we were men! we were wrestling!" lately.

The best thing about their films is you can see them multiple times and still find something fresh with each view.

It's also funny how when I peruse the list scenes/dialogue pop up in my memory. George Clooney's dildo chair, Tim Robbins doing his college cheer(?), I'm gonna bust yo ass!, Heavens to Betsy!, Friendo, so many social engagements so little time.......I really love their movies.

Why fight? Your list is okay by me.

[Upthevibe]

12. The number 1 spot goes to Raising Arizona and Fargo (in a tie)....

With The Big Lebowski a close second.. I haven't seen Ladykillers, Inside Llewelyn Davis, Ballad of Buster Scruggs, or Hudsucker Proxy....

[7wo7rees]

13. I love how Hail, Caesar isn't even here

You got that one right.

NCFOM > Lebowski > Fargo > Arizona > OBWAT > Grit

[Phentex]

15. I'd bump Raising Arizona and Fargo

at least ahead of Miller's Crossing. I don't really have any issue with the list.

[red dog 1]

16. 1) The Big Lebowski, 2) No Country for Old Men, 3) Fargo, 4) Barton Fink

I didn't like "O Brother Where Art Thou"

(I've only seen 5 Coen Brothers movies)

18. The other night, this was on one of "classic" teevee cable channels

Joel and Ethan being interviewed by Dick Cavett upon the release of Barton Fink.

19. Raising Arizona #1
