This thread made me realize that I've only seen four Coen brothers films (Burn After Reading, The Big Lebowski, Burn After Reading, and O Brother Where Art Thou). I should fix that.

May want to recount :)

The Big Lebowski, Fargo, Barton Fink, Raising Arizona. You can't make me choose an order. But I guess you could order me to make a choice?

My favorites would be:

Burn after Reading, No Country for old men, Fargo and The Big Lebowski

Neat, didn't know Burn was as popular. Great, underrated film.

For me, Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski, A Serious Man, and The Hudsucker Proxy.

Of course, I'm in love with their dramatic works, but their comedic stuff, dark or goofy, is fucking Grade-A brilliant. I even loved The Ladykillers!

*crickets*

1. The Big Lebowski
2. Fargo
3. No Country
4. Barton Fink

@nofx4208: 'The Ladykillers (2004)' is an underrated film. By all means it is utterly tawdry when compared with the masterful original, but own its own it really shines. Tom Hanks was a bit too animated, though.

@ryanwho:

The reason I love 'Burn After Reading' the most is because it is the most urbane and terminally misanthropic of all the Coen Brothers' films. 'The Big Lebowski' was annoyingly humanistic at times, and 'Fargo' became very sentimental near it's end.

1. Lebowski
2. O Brother
3. Miller's Crossing
4. True Grit
