Big Lebowski tops the list for comedy and No Country is best drama but there are ties. Oh Brother and Hudsaker tie comedy and Intolerable Cruelty is next. Fargo and Blood simple (see it again) is outstanding

Love them all, Fargo for me is #1 Big Lew, second , as an Australian I find the accent’s in Fargo really unusual, can’t quite pick it , but sounds a bit scandinavian . Were there big influxes of north european imigrants into that area ,way back in the boom time of American imigration. ?

i think that both ladykillers and O Brother should be way higher!! especially O Brother!! Intolerable Cruelty is definetly the worst of thier films, by far!!!!!!

Picking my favorite Coen Bro’s film is like choosing your favorite child… I like them all for different reasons… but I would ask for a paternity test for Intolerable Cruelty and Lady Killers!

I am an absolute addict of the “Bro’s”. I don’t care about the ranking. Raising Arizona and Fargo are my favorites but what I really like is how they use so many of the same actors in their films. It’s almost like seeing old friends or even family when you see their next film. And the actors they use are some of Hollywood’s best talent….turturro, clooney, goodman, mcdormand and thornton.

The Big Labowski should be # 1!
Not only on the list but of all time coedys.

You did an excellent job of rating their films. I’d move Miller’s Crossing up a notch. I’ve watched it almost as much as Lebowski. The script, the acting, the directing are outstanding. Don’t you just love the opening with John Polito talking about “ethics”?

[...] some dispute over whether this Coen brothers film should land on any best lists – some people flat-out hate it or rate it low on the rundown of Coen flicks. On our 80s list [...]

oh brother #1 for me…it’s a re-telling of homer’s odyssey, has great humour and since seeing the film i learned the history of the rock candy mountain song which the soggy bottom boys sang
