The author goes on to comment on the pros and cons of Coen Brothers movies.

Me; I loved Raising Arizona. And O Brother Where Art Thou.

But after a dozen or so flicks with the hillbilly dialogue schtick, it gets tiresome. Especially the remake of True Grit.

Wiki article. Including a list of all their movies.

Fargo and Burn After Reading were amazing.

[dfwgator]

Raising Arizona is one of the greatest movies, ever.

[Last Dakotan]

..Fargo's opening, with a car driving into "nothing" (an utterly blank expanse of North Dakota snow).

No snow today - check back next week.

Raising Arizona may just be one of the finest movies ever made. It makes my top three movies of all time along with “Witness for the Prosecution” and “ Once Upon a Time In America”

Fargo was a lot funnier when I thought it was a true story. Somehow it really did seem authentic.

Then I learned they simply lied when they said it was true. Actually would have not been nearly as good if I had known.

I really enjoyed the new True Grit. Sits beside the Duke’s version on my DVD shelf.

[Leroy S. Mort]

Funny. "Oh Brother" is one of my favorites of all time. But I thought their "True Grit" was much better than the original.

Surprised no one's mentioned "The Big Lebowski". That one never gets old for me.

The Coens seldom disappoint. The Dudes abide....

I Watched Every Coen Brothers Movie - Here's what I learned.

Bad Guys are really, really bad.

Good Guys are childlike and sluggish.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

No one’s mentioned their greatest flick. No Country for Old Men. Completely out of character from the screwball comedy stuff they like to do. Any movie they’ve done I’m willing to watch. They are all so good. My other favorites are “O Brother Where Art Thou”, “Raising Arizona”, “Intolerable Cruelty” and “Fargo”. You may notice that Frances McDermond is in a lot of their movies. She’s married to one of the brothers.

Nathan Arizona has always been a favorite of mine.

"Dammit, are you boys gonna chase down your leads or are you gonna sit drinkin' coffee in the one house in the state where I know my boy ain't at?"

"Hell, they're all disgruntled. I ain't running no damn daisy farm. My motto is 'Do it my way or watch your butt!'"

[Cicero]

I’ve never seen a Coen movie I didn’t like.

[oust the louse]

interesting...was just having some beers last week with a bunch of friends and we were quoting Coen movies....just sent this off to them.
Raising Arizona and Fargo are classics...The Big Lebowski a good one too.

Her womb was a barren place, where my seed could find no purchase...

[Ranger Warrior]

“Burn After Reading” should have been entitled “Burn Before Watching.” It was one of the worst movies I ever wasted a couple of hours watching!

[ican'tbelieveit]

Just a minor correction; they did not REmake True Grit.

[DManA]

The wickedest thing they did was put the message “This movie was based on true events” at the beginning of Fargo. It wasn’t. They know it.

The blurring of fact and fiction is evidence of a growing insanity in this culture.

A Serious Man was a big step away from all that -- back to their own actual roots. They ought to go further in that direction -- urban, more or less contemporary, semi-comedic, what they actually know -- but they've also been moving in the direction of big budget studio features.

True Grit...Not impressed.
