Not enough love for Burn After Reading!

Though it doesn’t make my top 3 either. So many greats to choose from.

That was decent, but definitely not their best work... though seeing Pitt play a hapless goofball was interesting, since that’s not his typical role

Great poll Otter (no homo).

I got it narrowed down to six. Looking at poll results I feel like a lot of voters here haven't seen Miller's Crossing.

When Zune's came out before you could watch video on your phone I watched TBL every day until It drove me crazy.

Just sooo underrated, you never see anyone talk about it

Albert Finney
Gabriel Byrne
John Turturro
Steve Buscemi
Jon Polito

That’s a helluva cast, and it’s a helluva story... been a long time since I’ve watched it, I need to see if Tubi or Yahoo have it available

IMO it is the equal of the first two Godfathers and Goodfellas. The Danny Boy scene is absolutely iconic.

I'll have to watch Miller's Crossing again on the next rainy day.

I honestly thought "The Man who wasn't There" would get more rep. It's dark but it's really good.

Fargo - Frances McDormand was absolutely brilliant.
O Brother - You gotta love it when a bunch of dumb ass hillbillies do The Odyssey.
No Country - Tommy Lee Jones is one of my favorite actors. Perfect casting.

It's occurred to me that I'm just not a big fan of the Coen Brothers. I know I'm supposed to be but I'm just...not.

Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing and True Grit. And ultimate True Grit shouldn't have gotten a vote there, it's just the John Wayne fan in me coming out (Damon really did a nice job with LaBeouf's part and any time you can take a John Wayne movie and remove Kim Darby from it, you've earned my money).

I haven't seen most of these, though.
Stuck to the source material better but it didn't have the Duke.

Worse still, they mangled the showdown between him and Lucky Ned Pepper something awful. Bridges mumbled the 'Fill your hands!' line so badly you could barely understand it and having him ride w/ twin pistols instead of twirling that Winchester lever action was just blasphemy.

I went to one of those dinner and a movie theatres with the recliners and beer with my old man to see it. Hardly had any complaints but man - that is one of the climactic moments in western history and while the cinematography is great, poor line reading and a weird stylistic choice just took some of the starch out of it.

To borrow one of your phrases I’ve seen you use, do you think the Coen’s get too attached to the “smell of their own farts” at times? You used the phrase to describe Ad Astra and in some of the Coen brothers work I don’t care for seems to fall into that category.

Maybe. Probably. Sometimes they just seem cute to be cute.

I feel like Peter Griffin here (though of course, not in relation to the Godfather...because jesus christ, who doesn't like The Godfather?)



I just want to sit here and smugly and nonsensically say "They insist upon themselves..." and not even know what I really mean by that.

I really came to the conclusion during Burn After Reading. I just got done with it and watched a PILE of incredible actors just be shoved into weird parts that didn't suit them and thought "well ****, Coens, how'd you manage to make this so bizarrely unlikeable? Why'd you have to Coen it up?"

They just had to make it a 'Coen' property. That's why Hail Caesar failed so badly - same problem.

They're better when they're taking on harder, more 'serious' stuff, IMO. And maybe I'm in BL's camp of just not having seen TBL enough to appreciate it like I should, but in contrast to Raising Arizona where they nailed the humor, I don't see why I should have to watch it 5 times to accept it's greatness.

Some folks just fall in love with what makes them well known. Cruise did it for a bit, Denzel did as well; both guys spent a decade kinda playing themselves in slightly different places. Then Johnny Depp spent his entire latter career playing Captain Jack Sparrow. M. Night Shyamalan's goofy twist shit is the first example to come to mind with directors but Nolan's timeline things make his movies decidedly 'Nolan' movies as well (though I like just about everything he's done). Sometimes people fall in love with their brand and steer hard into it a little too much.

I dunno - they just don't quite hit the mark for me most of the time.

And my word people, how does Miller's Crossing only get 8 votes? Byrne and Finney just throwing 100 mph the whole movie. Gotta just be a function of fewer people having seen it.

Definitely top of the CB list, IMO.
