Best Coen Brothers Movie?
As you can probably tell from my handle I'm a huge fan of The Big Lebowski. It was definitely underrated at the time of its theatrical release, but has since attained a huge cult following. Of course films like Fargo and No Country for Old Men should enter the conversation due to their success at the Oscars, and Raising Arizona is another cult favorite. What is your pick for the best Coen Bros. movie?

I fell asleep through a few(since it was, like, about 3:00 in the morning), but I absolutely loved what I saw of "The Big Lebowski". "Burn After Reading" was good as well, and definitely not what I expected.

'Lebowski' gets 1st place...
'Fargo' and 'No country' tie in 2nd place..
'Oh brother' in a tight 3rd place.
Millers crossing gets 2nd from last place.
Raising Arizona gets last.
The others tend to be between Millers crossing and Fargo, for me.
All enjoyable still at the sub No country level, but thats my list of preference.

I enjoy most of their work, but Burn After Reading was really one of their weakest works, quite disappointing for me.
My favourite is probably the first film I saw from the guys, Fargo.

Same, dude, same. I heard it was a cheap ripoff of that other bowling movie, King Pin.

Big Lebowski and Raising Arizona were the best. But all their movies are great.

I know that I'm gonna receive hell for this, but I much prefer Raising Arizona over Lebowski.

I love Lebowski, Fargo and No Country. Lebowski's probably the most purely enjoyable one, but Fargo and No Country are masterpieces.

Ohhh......I completely forgot about Fargo. Great, great experience.
No Country for Old Men was good, but I truly feel that it's a trifle overrated.

Also, let's not forget - let's *not* forget, Dude - that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city - that aint legal either.
