I just saw Intolerable Cruelty this past week, man what a disappointment :(

Anyways, the Big Lebowski wins this one *hands down* :)

This is a tought one. Big Lebowski is so great, but O Brother is just on another level in my opinion. Its humor and dialogue is almost as spot-on as Lebowski, but the camera work, digital painting (for the sepia-tone feel) and sound/music are just incredible.

hmm...perhaps I'll throw Oh Brother in the dvd player tonight. :)

I like lots of them, but I think "Raising Arizona" is the best.

I can't think of a single weak point..

Surprisingly, my answer is The Hudsucker Proxy. But I love all their movies, even lackluster ones like Intolerable Cruelty. Looking forward to The Ladykillers.

Raising Arizona was glorious filmaking, a perfect combination of cast, script and direction.

But I also liked all of their other movies I've seen (haven't seen Cruelty or Blood Simple yet), even their collaboration with Sam Raimi - Crimewave

I didn't know the Ladykillers was Coen Bros! I wanted to see it before I knew that, now I can't wait!

Out of all of their movies, I've seen:

Intolerable Cruelty
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Fargo
Raising Arizona

It's a tough choice between O Brother or Fargo. I think I'll go for O Brother overall, but Frances McDormand kicks seven kinds of butt in Fargo. Yah!

I still want to watch Hudsucker proxy. Hmmmm...

It's a very tough call for me. The Coen's are brilliant. It was a toss up between Fargo, O Brother and TBL for me. TBL got my vote.

wow...pretty close

Most recent two are my least favorite.....but Ladykillers looks like it might be good

I say Fargo. I live a little over an hour away from there...we don't get a lot of movies made here. ;)
