"Coen brothers"

Am sort of new to Coen Brothers movies (although I own O Brother and Intolerable Cruelty) and just very much enjoyed the pants off The Man Who Wasn't There. Experts, give me a run down of their films in order of goodness, and don't bother mentioning Fargo because that's already downloading. Ta.

Big Lebowski
Miller's Crossing
Fargo - I know your downloading it but I still had to mention it!

You MUST see these films.

Raising Arizona's pretty damn good too. Plus The Lady Killers is looking good, think it's out very soon...

How could I forget Barton Fink? John Goodman at his finest (and he's excellent in all the Coen's films).

You're entering a world of top quality film making here Snuggly. Love the Coen's. love 'em.

I've got The Hudsucker Proxy if you want to borrow it?

"You know, for kids!"

Recorded Hudsucker off TV a few months back and it missed the last 10 minutes or so. I really need to get myself a copy of that to see it through. Another class film.

The Big Lebowski, as CDouch said. Excellent.

Millionaire: "What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski? Is it the courage to do what's right, no matter what the moral and ethical consequences? Is that what makes a man?
Lebowski: "Well, yeah, that and a pair of testicles."


Walter: "Hey Smokey - this is bowling, not Vietnam. There are rules."

Genius.

The ones I've seen, in order of goodness to slightly not as goodness:

O Brother Where Art Thou?
Fargo
Intolerable Cruelty
Man Who Wasn't There
Barton Fink
Big Lebowski
Raising Arizona

I must also put in two of my favourite Coens quotes.

"Does she have representation?"
"Er, she has rottweilers."
"Not a good sign."

"I'm voting for yours truly!"
"Well, I'm voting for yours truly too!"
"OK..I'm with you fellas."
