Have you seen Miller's Crossing? That's my favorite. NC running a close second.

See what happens when someone asks you to pick a favorite child? There is no right answer.

I rented this and re-watched it the other day. Not one of their best, IMO, but certainly an outstanding effort when you consider it was their first film.

If I had to pick a favorite scene from the Coen Brothers' films, I may have to got with the scene from Miller's Crossing where they try to kill off the boss at his home with "Danny Boy" playing in the background. That is terrific film-making.

Has Waters trademarked this yet? I want to put this on a tee-shirt.

I've only seen a few of these.

I can't stand Intolerable Cruelty. The only cruel thing about that movie was me being forced to watch it.

I loved Hudsucker & O Brother.

And those are the only ones I've seen.

I voted Raising Arizona, because it was the genre buster.

Also, the kid with the 357 revolver standing in the road is one of the funniest moments in cinema.
