    I think Ladykillers is actually really underrated, but against Fargo it doesn't have a prayer.

    • @Fluoride_Jones
      @Fluoride_Jones Před 8 lety +2

      +Brian Hurst I love "The Ladykillers," but I'm a Minnesotan, so I have much love for "Fargo." That being said, my favorite Coen brothers film is "No Country for Old Men."

    • @Hurstcules

      The ending is terrible but I still watch it probably once a year. As far as I'm concerned it would literally be perfect without that shitty ending. It was a holdover from the book that just did not transfer to film at all.

    Believe it or not, Raising Arizona left a bigger impression on me than No Country. Those dream sequences done with practical effects and the heave he does in his sleep?! Amazing!

  • @jaydnturner6596
    @jaydnturner6596 Před 8 lety +27

    My favorite was hands down, No Country For Old Men. I liked it because of the heavy symbolism that lies under the plot of the movie. It took me 3 viewings to fully appreciate and understand the massive depth of this movie. The villian terrified me more then any other villian in the last decade of horror movies. It will forever be in my top 5 favorite movies of all time.

    Gotta say, Fargo to me is just an absolute masterpiece and my favorite Coen Brothers film. Stellar performances from Frances McDormand and Steve Buscemi, and a great thriller with some hilarious moments thrown in. Got to agree with the panelists on this one.

  • @mjfsuperstar92
    @mjfsuperstar92 Před 8 lety +3

    I saw Fargo for the first time this past New Years Eve and I fell in love. Between the accents, the humor, and the crime, it really stuck with me. The characters are so memorable and the humor is spot on. It easily became one of my favorite movies of all time.

    @lukess.s Před 8 lety +2

    #1. No Country For Old Men.
    The way the Cohens instantly pulled you into this dark and gritty world with these characters that just seemed so real and human was incredible, you truly cared for the main characters and you sympathise with them for their difficulty in handeling the extreme situation they've found themselves in, and the tragicly merciless villain played astoundingly by Bardem added some shocking reality to the story and proved that there is indeed true evil in the world and the lengths that this guy would go to to accomplish his mission were jaw dropping. The Cohens perfectly addapted a story that put us in this disturbing world that reminded us of our own world at times, it is indeed no country for old men.

  • @MarshallLore
    @MarshallLore Před 8 lety +39

    ouch. Lebowski is one of the greatest films ever made....not just by the Coens. It is one of the few perfect movies that could not be improved in anyway. Try watching Far go 119 times...

    • @WalkingDeadKiller
      @WalkingDeadKiller Před 8 lety +4

      +MarshallLore Fargo embodies brilliant filmmaking. Lebowski's an unorthodox screwball comedy that works but doesn't compare to the brilliance of No Country or Llewyn Davis. Just because its cool to love Lebowski doesn't make it the best. Still, they're all objectively terrific films.

  • @patrickhaeusler
    @patrickhaeusler Před 8 lety +13

  • @blxr3d153
    @blxr3d153 Před 7 lety +7

    I know I'm in a totally different boat, but I think Burn After Reading is their best film

  • @GdoubleWB
    @GdoubleWB Před 8 lety +4

    For my money, The Big Lebowski is the best of them all. It's strange, it's funny, it's endlessly quotable, and it's had easily the greatest cultural impact. I love Fargo, and there's no denying the greatness of No Country For Old Men, but Lebowski has become the ultimate cult classic. It's instantly recognizable, it has a dedicated fanbase, it has inspired books, festivals, even the pseudo-religion of Dudeism. And above all, it gave us one of the most complexly simple characters in cinema, The Dude. The Dude is Coen brothers incarnate. He's the ultimate slacker, but he's found a sense of nirvana in it. He may appear stupid on the surface, but he has the wisdom not to let anything get to him (he abides). He seems to glide through his life, but not without caring about the events that transpire. In the end, the Dude has found what we all hope to someday achieve: the strength to change what he can, the patience to accept what he cannot, and the wisdom to know the difference. I won't say hero, because, what's a hero? But sometimes there's a man, and I'm talking about the Dude here... well, he's the man for his time and place.
    Ah, hell. I lost my train of thought. I done explained him enough.

  • @sirdaveysockrocker
    @sirdaveysockrocker Před 8 lety +2

    My favorite is easily the big lebowski. Like pulp fiction, the dialogue is so perfect that it resonates long after you see it and you almost miss it after its over. You want more conversations with the dude and Walter like you wanted more conversation between Jules and Vincent. The Dude and Walter aren't just one of the best duos in the a coen film, but really in film history.

  • @ikmnification5737
    @ikmnification5737 Před 8 lety +1

    Fargo is definitely a good middle ground of what a Coen Brothers movie is and has a range of all the elements of their other movies. It has a dark theme with some clever situational comedic elements that come across as funny without taking away from the seriousness of the situation.

    Fargo is really ranked number one out of all of their movies? Maybe its because I'm from Minnesota but I've never really been a fan of Fargo. Not to say its bad but its hard to believe that its ranked number one.

      +Th3_What I'm from Minnesota (damn, we just got even more snow), and I think I appreciate that film even more because of it. Though, I do know plenty of people who are offended by it, because they're Minnesotan.

    • @TheWhatMan80
      @TheWhatMan80 Před 8 lety

      +Adam Coffland I'm not offended by it I just didn't like it compared to other Coen bothers films. I've traveled around the country quite a bit and when I tell people I'm from Minnesota more than half of the people say something like You betcha with a smile on their face. Maybe that's a reason for some of my hate but at the same time it shows how popular Fargo really is.

    • @TheWhatMan80

    No Country For Old Men for me. Based off of a great book by a great author and then made for film by the Coen Brothers, you can't get any better than that. Great tension and suspense, excellent social and moral commentary throughout, oh and great acting from all the main cast.

  • @courtotpostproduction3807

    What an incredibly hard question. There are so many of their films I love and you guys reminded me of all the ones I still have yet to see. If I'm being honest, you guys got it right with Fargo. However, for me personally, I've got to go with O Brother Where Art Thou? It was my first experience with the Coen's when I was a kid and I loved from the first viewing. Add to that the fact that I got to sing "Man of Constant Sorrow" in high school drama and I'll need to chalk that one up as my favorite.

    i've only seen True Grit and Llewyn Davis and out of those two i'd have to go Llewyn because it had such an amazing impact on me being a struggling musician myself. It got me into folk, and it showed the public the other side of the music industry which is the people who don't make it which i thought was important. and that scene when Llewyn gets mad and says that playing the guitar is his job still sticks with me

    I have a deep and abiding love for The Big Lebowski. I first saw it on a really grainy VHS around 2001 I think but watched it so many times I've lost count. On the other hand Fargo mixes comedy and pathos beautifully, as Dan said it sums up what the Coens can do perfectly.

  • @alachabre
    @alachabre Před 8 lety

    I don't watch a lot of movies. I want to credit this video for showing me a list of movies I really need to get around to watching. I'm not sure if Miller's Crossing or Raising Arizona was the first Coen movie I saw. Raising Arizona was great fun and I loved it. One thing that made it so great for me then is that I was living in Utah at the time, and that final line put me in stitches. Miller's Crossing was dark and disturbing and really, really good, and I would never have put it together that the same team made both films. But for me, as much as I love The Big Lebowski and Fargo, for the top movie I gotta go with the profound story and the unsurpassed soundtrack of O Brother Where Art Thou.

  • @Arturos902
    @Arturos902 Před 8 lety

    I think The Big Lebowski is the best Coen Brothers movie, and I'll tell you why: It's because I caught the edited for TV version on Comedy Central at some point. I probably came in about halfway while John Goodman was interrogating some kid. So a few minutes after that I was treated to the completely surreal scene of John Goodman smashing up a car yelling, "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FIND A STRANGER IN THE ALPS!"
    I later watched the real thing and loved it in a more traditional way, but for providing me the most surreal moment of my early teenage years, I will always love the edited for TV version of The Big Lebowski.

  • @LaserBaneI
    @LaserBaneI Před 8 lety

    O Brother for me. After looking at all the Coen Brothers movies together on this list its clear that they make movies that I don't like at first but grow on me over time. O Brother is the best example of that.

  • @pnutbutrncrackers
    @pnutbutrncrackers Před 4 lety

    Just one man's POV (mine), but the fact that somehow a piece of art as toweringly good as "No Country ..." could somehow be given a silver medal here leaves one fainting away. Not only does it deserve top place by several levels on a Coen Brothers list, it is, in my mind, very possibly the greatest film produced in the 2000's. Fargo (which I quite like) would be 2nd, but by a vast distance of separation. Out of recognition of a true cinematic masterpiece, was compelled to post.

    Great choice for the best Coen brothers movie. I love Fargo. That's probably my favourite Coen brothers movie. For most of my life, I've seen the dvd on the book shelf in my home. And for ages I had no idea what it was about or anything. And one day my dad asked if I wanted to see it, and I said yes. After the movie I was blown away. I loved it. It made me think about it ages after I saw it. I've seen it so many times since, and I still feel the same way after seeing it. I do also love Oh Brother Where Art Thou. It's a movie that my friends and I watch all the time. I haven't gotten sick of of yet. I love the Coen brothers, and I hope that they'll keep making movies.

    Miller's Crossing is my favorite Coen Brothers movie. I love The Big Lebowski, Fargo and No Country For Old Men, but Miller's Crossing is my favorite. Probably the best performance John Turturro gives in any of the Coen Brothers' movies, which is saying a lot because he's amazing in every Coen Brothers movie he plays in. Miller's Crossing is a great mob movie, with great dialogue, some good dark comedy and very gripping plot. Some people may not love it, but it's my favorite.
