I decided to make this poll now because, for the next week, they still only have 10 movies, so I don't need an "other" category. silly As far as I'm concerned, despite Intolerable Cruelty, the Coen Brothers are among the best filmmakers out there. I love almost every one of their movies.

I love Lebowski, O Brother, and Blood Simple, but I think for me their best is Miller's Crossing.

O Brother followed by The Big Lebowski. I have hopes for The Ladykillers.

The Big Lebowski. Combine that with Star Wars, and I guess my screenname says it all...

I love them all but being forced to choose I say raising arizona. it is their most pure film and the one which for me started it all. I became a coen freek after seeing it the first time which was right about the time barton fink was released because that was the first coen film I saw in the theater.

Oooo, tough one. There all good for the most part but I lean slightly towards Fargo as first among equals.

everything they do is solid gold, but i have to go with the big lebowski, thats one of a few non-star wars movies that i could watch over and over again and never get bored.
