Shouldn't you pick a better Coen Brother's film?
Fargo is the best Coen Brothers film. Big Lebowski is up there too. I cant get into their earlier stuff
I dunno, I may have agreed with you in years past, when Lebowski was the frat movie du jour. I longed for the halcyon days of Fargo. During the hubbub, I ended up going years without seeing Fargo, naturally assuming that since it wasn't as silly as Lebowski, it was probably better, as I remembered. I also developed a dislike for O Brother, without even seeing it. I worked in a book and music store when that movie broke big, and near constant exposure to the soundtrack made me uninterested in seeing it.
Anyway, about 2 years ago I got Fargo on DVD, and discovered that it's a pretty boring movie with a few totally great scenes. Lebowski is the best of the three, and O Brother is a somewhat close second. Colored me wrong. Raising Arizona is alsoup there. Better than Fargo, probably not quite at Lebowski or O Brother levels. It's kind of unrefined, and Lebowski and O Brother are so much better to look at.
I can get behind Barton Fink as their best. It's tough to name one single best because their movies are all so very different. Hard to believe the same people behind Lebowski did Barton Fink.
