I felt inclined to feel the same way, but I wait and hope in a return to form...Although, people like Wes Anderson seem to have stolen a little of the Coens' thunder in the quirky, weird category...

The Big Lebowski. The scene where John Goodman bashes the car is priceless!

Raising Arizona!!!!!!!! 😱

"Give me back that baby you warthog from hell!!"

I was thinking recently. Then, I started thinking about what ever happened to the Coen Brothers? They've made some great movies, but their recent out-put hasn't been a patch on their previous gold.

Here's my list:

[list=1]
[*]The Big Lebowski - Greatest movie of all time, in my book.
[*]Miller's Crossing - one of the best gangster movies of all time.
[*]Blood Simple - Bloody excellent.
[*]Fargo - funny, funny, funny.
[*]O Brother, Where Art Thou? - Homer's Odyssey twisted and cool.
[*]The Man Who Wasn't There - pitch perfect.
[*]The Hudsucker Proxy - warped madness.
[*]Barton Fink - Goodman gold.
[*]Rasing Arizona - all good apart from Holly Hunter. I can't stand her voice.
[*]Intolerable Cruelty - some classic Coen moments, but generally only OK.
[*]The Ladykillers - I'm sorry. This is a pile of shit.
[/list=1]

Anyway, I hope their next venture ('Hail Caesar'😉 marks a return to form. They're in need of it...

Peace out, men and women.

i think holly hunters voice is cute

That's nice. Go have a wank, and then tell me how you feel.

😆

I love all Coen movies. Even, the Lady killers.

Raising Arizona, by far.

Fargo for me, it's the first film I saw by the Coen Brothers that got me to notice their work, and so far none of their films have come close for me. Well The Big Lebowski got there nearly. 🙂 Lots of excellent films.
