What is your favorite Coen Bros. Film? - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

The Don · 03-19-2008, 01:36 PM

I liked Fargo, it made me laugh and it had some great acting in there....plus it wasn't exactly a comedy...but this movie is well underrated on this list...

my husband loves O brother, i've just never watched it. and i've always heard big lebowski is good, but it's never on tv. or if it is it's censored

Aphanasis · 08-26-2011, 10:06 AM

Big Lebowski for me, though I love them all.

Some of the most consistently solid films around.

Al_The_Strange · 08-26-2011, 10:08 AM

I'm not quite sure yet, but "True Grit" might be my favorite of the lot.

jawsfan1975 · 08-26-2011, 10:12 AM

Sorry but nothing can top The Dude!

Saints 2010 · 08-28-2011, 01:05 PM

Voted for No Country For Old Men - It's one of my favourite books and I thought the Coens did a great job.

SixSpeedSamurai · 08-28-2011, 01:47 PM

I did not realize they directed Raising Arizona.

For me it's Big Lebowski, but there are a few on the list i have yet to see.

Lebowski is a film I HATED the first time I saw it. However, it's come to be one of my favorite films. That is rare for me to turn around on a movie I detested.

+1
not only my favorite Coen film, but my favorite movie in general.

wilky61 · 08-28-2011, 09:35 PM

1a.) The Man Who Wasn't There
1b.) Blood Simple
3.) The Hudsucker Proxy

Other notable favorites include Miller's Crossing, No Country for Old Men, and A Serious Man.

My least favorite is easily Raising Arizona.

AKORIS · 08-29-2011, 01:45 AM

FARGO got my vote--

very impressed with NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, BLOOD SIMPLE, and TRUE GRIT as well...

IronWaffle · 08-29-2011, 02:01 AM

Voted Fargo.
Honorable mention to Serious Man, tied with Barton, Old Men, Arizona and The Dude all just about as favorite.

Cinemave · 08-29-2011, 02:55 PM

Nice poll because you realize the how the quality of their films has been maintained as their career has evolved. I picked The Big Lebowski because of the iconic level to which this film has risen. Most of the others are still worth owning, though.

luwanda · 09-15-2011, 01:22 PM

The Big Leboswki

arcadeforest · 09-18-2011, 12:16 AM

The Big Lebowski, but I've always enjoyed the Hudsucker Proxy as well.

Imamuppet · 09-18-2011, 12:26 AM

Lebowski with Miller's a close second.

LukeJudkins · 09-20-2011, 07:29 AM

10. Raising Arizona
11. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
12. True Grit
13. The Ladykillers
14. Blood Simple
15. Intolerable Cruelty

Jasonic · 09-20-2011, 07:20 PM

Not a big Coen brothers fan, but I did love True Grit.

Foggy · 09-20-2011, 08:29 PM
