    The Coen brothers two masterpieces. Which is better? I think No Country clearly, but wanna see if anyone has a case for Fargo?

    Actually... I forgot Miller's Crossing... arguably better than Fargo.

    No Country For Old Men by far. It's the Coen Brothers movie.


    I found Fargo almost unwatchable because of Frances McDormand who is a highly irritating cunt in everything I've seen her in.

    Miller's Crossing I remember watching when it was released in 1991 (one afternoon in a cinema in Melbourne, Australia of all places) and it didn't leave an impression.

    I agree that No Country is THE Coen bros movie.

    You need to rewatch Miller's Crossing. It's great. It's an unlucky movie, because it's a crime/mob movie... a crime/mob movie that dropped the same year as Goodfellas.

    Whooaaaa!!! THAT I cannot co-sign.

    You're basically calling Miller's Crossing the best movie of the decade, since Goodfellas is considered by most the goat 90s movie.

    Besides Miller's Crossing... SOTL, Schindler's List, The Big Lebowski, Saving Private Ryan, LA Confidential

    Those are all every bit as good off the top of my head

    LA Confidential would be my choice. That movie is a masterpiece.

    LMAO @ The Big Lebowski. That movie is such an overrated pile of dog shit. It doesn't come within 10 light years of Goodfellas.

    The Big Lebowsi is a fun stoner flick. If people just left it at that, it'd be cool. But the movie's fans consider it one of the greatest movies of all time, which is a joke. If compared to other Coen Bros movies, it's mediocre as fuck compared to No Country, Fargo, Miller's Crossing, Blood Simple, or even A Serious Man.

    It's absolutely absurd to have Lebowski in the same sentence as Goodfellas, Lambs, and LA Confidential.

    Again, you have no idea what you're talking about, so take a bath and drop a fully powered-on electric-heater into it.
