from most favouritest to just really good:

The Big Lebowski (1998 ) -- on the way back from the butt doctor, CCR's "Looking Out My Back Door" on the radio. pure gold.
Raising Arizona (1987) -- i don't know, they were jammies, they had yodas and shit on 'em.
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
Barton Fink (1991) -- C-H-E-T Chet!
The Man Who Wasn't There (2001)
Intolerable Cruelty (2003)
Fargo (1996)
The Ladykillers (2004) -- you brought yo bitch to the Waffle Hut?
Blood Simple (1985)
Miller's Crossing (1990)

and i have only seen a bit of the Hudsucker Proxy so i can't rank it. it's on my Netflix Q.

but the best part is their frequent collaboration with roger deakins the cinematographer who, to me, is just the most talented, incredible artist.

Can only rate the ones I've seen:

Big Lebowski
Fargo
O Brother Where Art Thou?
Raising Arizona
Hudsucker Proxy
Intolerable Cruelty
The Man Who Wasn't There

Ladykillers any good? Funnily enough I had it in my hand at the DVD store yesterday.
I want to see it but remember it getting some pretty bad reviews from both the critics & fans alike.

Haven't seen Hudsucker or Intolerable Cruelty....

1. The Big Lebowski (1998): But, that's just like, my opinion, man.
2. Fargo (1996): Freakin' brilliant, ya....
3. O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000): Me 'n Delmer are unaffiliated...
4. Blood Simple (1985): Reminds me of Texas in a lot of ways, and includes the vastly underrated M. Emmet Walsh as a key role.
5. Raising Arizona (1987): Or my name ain't Nathan Arizona...
6. Miller's Crossing (1990)
7. Barton Fink (1991)
8. The Man Who Wasn't There (2001)  
9. The Ladykillers (2004): The only dog of theirs I've seen. Too much of that hippity-hop music.....

The Hudsucker Proxy (1994)  
Fargo (1996)  
The Big Lebowski (1998 )  
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)  

These 4 are equal in my book. What a stretch of amazing films.I can watch any of these at any time.

I place the others are about the same; I like them alot, but not as much as those top 4.
Except for The MAn Who Wasn't There.  I've only seen it onc, but I just could not get into it at all. Am I missing something?

For one thing, it can't compare to the brilliant original English film. A remake was unnecessary from these normally talented filmmakers.

Don't compare it to the original.  I thought it was great.  But then again I live right near Bob Jones University....
