Top 10 Coen Brothers Movies

I admit that No Country for Old Men is probably a better film than The Big Lebowski, but this film is so much more in the style of the Coen brothers. This film didn't give a crap about being a money making enterprise. This film was made to make a film that people would have a laugh at, such a rare quality in films these days.

The perfect blend of comedy and mystery; I've always loved this movie. It's certainly a good thing this film has had a resurgence in popularity and hasn't gone too under the radar. Far more complex and intricate than the stoner comedy it might first come off as. View at as many times as you like; you'll always laugh.

Currently my favorite movie of all time. A co-worker and I only communicated in Lebowski quotes over a period of several months. An old friend had only a signed cardboard grocery
store card for ID as does the dude. The Coens really understand personal relationships and this film shows that the best.

Absolutely brilliant! Went to see this at the cinema just off Leicester sq, for maybe the...30th time! First time on the big screen though, and it was great; better, funnier, and more enjoyable than it ever has been before. Thank you Joel and Ethan, for making my Sunday!

Knowing that this film followed the narrative perfectly did not tamp down the despair for our world magnified at the end.

As much as I love "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?", this is the boss. The acting and action are professional and intense.

My first and my favorite. A deeply entertaining film from start to finish.

There's no way Fargo is better than this. Such an overrated film.

Frances McDormand is amazing. I smile every time I think of her performance. What can you say about William Macey? He was brilliant! Throw in the inept bad guys and the whole northern Minnesota accent and environment, and you have their best film among so many that are marvelous and not the usual Hollywood film movies.

You know when a film is special when you can watch it again and again, like this one is for me. If you've never seen this film then you obviously don't do movies or are still wearing nappies!

Loved it. Frances McDormand and Williams Macy were superb. I shiver each time I watch it.

Fargo is # 1 No Country for Old Men is #2 Oh brother, Where Art Thou? Is #3 True Grit is #4 and the Big Lebowski Is #5

As usual, the Coen brothers' combination of unique dialogue and colorful characters makes for a thoroughly entertaining film. Also, the golden hue to the outdoor scenes was breathtaking. Definitely one of my favorites.

I didn't know they also made Raising Arizona. These guys are brilliant. Raising Arizona was completely original, and so was O'Brother.

O'Brother's look, dialog and music made for a great film. I think it was highly underrated. Great movie.

In a time where 9/11 had everyone down... this movie brought a smile to our faces and distracted us from a day that know one will forget... even if for a short time. God bless the Coen brothers!

The spiritual desire and the irony of a fallen humanity is depicted perfectly in this saga.

Such a hard choice. ALL of these films deserve to be on the best films of all time! Let alone best Coen Brother films. The directing and producing, and script came naturally.

Still my favorite Coen brothers film. Great cast. The dialogue and characters were unique. I know it by heart after having watched it so many times.

I absolutely LOVE this movie...the dialogue, the music, the performances of everyone is fantastic. My favorite Coen brothers movie, by far.

Ah. That was Cage could act.

Absolute gem of a movie and weirdly underrated. A theatrical bomb on initial release but revived to live again on DVD. High production values, fabulous acting, direction and settings. The real charm here is the script; one of the wittiest you'll ever hear. Bravo cohens!

Haunting theme, razor sharp dialogue a thinking mans gangster epic.

Brilliant gangster movie - very brainy, not bloody!

This should be in 4th,

In its own way, a wonderful horrible story - Goodman is scary!

As a true fan of the original ( filmed in my home town ) I can say the Coen Brothers did a spectacular work. They kept the language of the original ( and the book ) and worked their magic bringing out the true feel of the period and the story as well as great, moving music and great acting ( very subtle, not over sensationalized or modernized ) - a true masterpiece.

When rented this movie on amazon I didn't know what to expect. I wasn't sure wether it was good or bad. However I was treated to an exciting well acted superb movie with beautiful landscapes and 1 awesome shoot out at the end. I am 29 and me and my wife love the cone brothers and have seen all their movies. Her favorite is Fargo but true grit is and will always be my favorite P.S No Country For Old men is also great and is a close second

A truly great film on it's own, different than the original in that it is more authentic to old western dialog, look and feel capturing nuance of the period and I felt the characters were more realistic as well.
.

If you aren't looking for a remake of the original, as a stand alone, this is a great movie.

No12 How dare you, this is a laugh riot, brilliant from the start, right thtough to that very last scene.

Fantastic through and through. The most ridiculous plot I've ever seen.

Love this movie! Great cast but Brad Pitt and Francis McDermand are show stoppers!

Last scene is classic.

From "Look at that parking lot..." to "The teeth, don't know, Message from Haschem, don't know, helping other people, couldn't hurt" outstanding writing.

Partying in that time period at the neighbor's home was spot on!

The Hudsucker Proxy is by far the most under-rated of the Coen Brother's movies. It may not make the top five, but it easily slips into the top ten.

There are a lot of movies that tells us about "life".
But this is the most powerful one.
Great performances from all the actors.

Superb... The camera work, the music (can not go wron with Beethoven) the script and the cast... Brilliant, simply Brilliant.

This is my favorite of all! I had the hardest time trying to find a copy of this movie and it will definitely be one of those things I will grab first if I ever have to evacuate my home in an emergency. The story line was one of the best and yes, there is a ginger tabby cat who steals the show!
