    Fargo?
    NCFOM?
    Big Lebowski?
    Raising Arizona?
    Millers Crossing?
    Blood Simple?

    Or another?

    I say NCFOM with Fargo a VERY CLOSE second.

    Millers Crossing third.

    #1. Millers Crossing


    #2. Blood Simple

    Not as polished as the rest, but I've seen it a million times and I love all the little bits of dialogue and noir atmosphere in it. It's also nearly impossible to run across the superior earlier cut of the film. Anybody who has seen it recently will probably vehemently disagree with my ranking, but it's been chopped to shit over and over and over again, and is nearly unrecognizable from it's earliest version.

    #3. Raising Arizona

    #4. No Country For Old Men

    #5. Fargo - I don't rate is as highly as most Coen Brothers fans do


    Least favorite Coen Brothers Movies in no particular order:

    Burn After Reading
    Hail Caesar
    The Hudsucker Proxy
    The Ladykillers
    Intolerable Cruelty
     
  3. Erratic

    Erratic "Twinkle Toes" McJack

    I like Fargo the best followed closely by Raising Arizona

    Big Lebowski is the most overrated Coen Bros movie.

    Worst has gotta be Hail Caesar. My God that movie was horrible.
     
  5. Couple of smart-ass Jew boys who make movies for high-foreheaded, high-IQ´d pricks...quite honestly, despise all the movies of theirs I´ve seen.

    NCFOM is probably my favorite, but I love Miller's Crossing, Blood Simple, Fargo, Lebowski, Raising Arizona

    Not as good as those, but I liked Barton Fink, A Serious Man, The Man Who Wasn't There

    Hudsucker Proxy was alright, I thought

    O Brother was ruined for me by George Clooney, who simply is not a good actor

    No Country for Old Men & Fargo are the best. I am amazed no one has mentioned 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' as that was a delicious albeit WEIRD movie. Clooney's best film to date.
