Post by: ManNamedTruth on Apr 18, 2006, 02:31 AM
I think they make some of the finest movies around. You guys dig? You can't go wrong- The Big Lebowski, Oh Brother Where art Though, Blood Simple, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo, all classics. Anyone know if they're working on anything new?

You have to mention Raising Arizona.

I like the Brothers too, although I think they are slipping somewhat over the last five or so years.

Intolerable Cruelty did not feel like a Coen Brothers movie.  I did not really like that one at all.  

The Ladykillers was great.  Very funny movie, although it always gets mixed reviews.  I thought it was as good as the classic Coen films already mentioned.

Raising Arizona is my favorite.
