What is your favourite Cohen Brother Movie
 
I love Raising Arizona and Fargo

ToTheNines 02-22-2011 07:50 PM

Big Lebowski, hands down.

Buuuut, Raising Arizona holds the unique distinction of being one of the 3 Nicolas Cage movies that I actually like.

No Country for Old Men.

True Grit was fantastic, also.

You forgot to list A Serious Man.

O_O All this time, I thought we was cool. :cry:
I hope a plumber craps in your sink! :x He would likely be very drunk in order to think that's a good idea. So, there! :evil:

Mine are A Serious Man and Burn After Reading.

Abnormal Freak 02-23-2011 12:06 AM

I haven't seen many but have greatly enjoyed all the ones I have. No Country for Old Men is probably tops for me, and The Big Lebowski is definitely one of the funniest damn movies I've ever seen.

I've been meaning to watch Blood Simple for several years. I really oughta get to that.

wilddiverse 02-23-2011 01:03 AM

It's Coen, not Cohen.

I can tell you my favorite was not Crimewave, the one they made with Sam Raimi.

A few more aren't listed yet:
Hudsucker Proxy.
The Man Who Wasn't There.
Intolerable Cruelty.
The Ladykillers.
Miller's Crossing.
O Brother, Where Art Thou.

I really can't pick a favorite, but must recommend Miller's Crossing be given a look. And I should see Barton Fink more.

Oh, and Chinaman isn't the preferred nomenclature.

Abnormal Freak 02-23-2011 03:18 AM

I haven't seen Crimewave, but I heard it got f***ed over real hard by the studio that handled it, that the end product doesn't much resemble what Raimi and co. had intended on making. Darkman received similar treatment (probably the biggest change being that Bruce Campbell was supposed to play the lead) though to a much lesser extent.

Speakin'a Campbell and the Coen bros., it's interesting to note that to find financial backers for their first feature length film, they followed the Raimi/Tapert/Campbell approach of filming a short film to show to potential customers, except in the Coen brothers' case, they filmed a trailer for the movie they wanted to make, and it starred Campbell. To my knowledge, none of that footage was in the final film.

PAAATE 02-23-2011 03:36 AM

Um...
Blood Simple
The Big Lebowski
No Country for Old Men
Burn After Reading
True Grit
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Fargo

Ah, **** it, I love all of their movies

Abnormal Freak 02-23-2011 03:51 AM

I saw Burn After Reading in a theater packed full of rubes. My pal and I were the only ones laughing the entire way through.

chad 02-23-2011 07:22 AM

I never saw a Serious man though my friend Craig said it's a great movie

See ya later I have to go to school

This isn't instant messenger. Also, we just don't really care.

Anyway, my favorite Coen brothers flick would probably be Fargo, although both Blood Simple and No Country are serious contenders. Still need to see Crimewave, Miller's Crossing, and A Serious Man.

chad 02-23-2011 02:42 PM

:)I was just kidding Dude I am an adult and I know this is not instant message

Mr. Snackpants 02-24-2011 08:25 AM

The Coen's are my favorite.

The best, imo, are Fargo, No Country for Old Men, Blood Simple, The Big Lebowski, and A Serious Man.

But I also really like Burn After Reading, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Raising Arizona, True Grit, The Man Who Wasn't There, The Ladykillers, Miller's Crossing, and The Hudsucker Proxy.

Fugitoid Jones 02-24-2011 01:12 PM

Boy, this is a tough one. I've really enjoyed all the ones I've seen, but I have a soft spot for O Brother Where Art Thou? and Raising Arizona. Hudsucker Proxy gets an honorable mention too.

shuriken 02-26-2011 02:18 PM

Been meaning to see Fargo but No Country for Old Men was awesome. As was The Big Lebowski.
