    Let's make this a place to discuss the films of the Coens as well. I'll probably edit this post later to add a picture or something.

    The Hudsucker Proxy is a masterpiece imo. It's my favorite film of theirs, followed by The Big Lebowski, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, A Serious Man and Raising Arizona.

    It's the version of Barton Fink with George Clinton replacing John Turturro.

    I don't know if I want to participate in that poll because I have not seen most of those films yet, however out of what I have seen my favorite might be a tie between The Big Lebowski and A Serious Man. Honestly, I don't think I could pick between the two of them, they're both really fantastic stuff. I didn't like The Big Lebowski that much the first time I saw it but it has definitely grown on me.

    Those probably are my two favourites followed by O Brother. There's a few films I haven't seen, that I really need to see (a few of their ones) but I'm confident the Big Lebowski would remain my top choice.

    I honestly cannot begin to pick between Barton Fink, Fargo and A Serious Man.

    Before I decide I should probably at least see Burn After Reading, Hudsucker Proxy and O Brother, Where Art Thou from beginning to end in proper order.

    Real answer: Fargo

    Answer I would like to give because I know no one else will pick it and it deserves some recognition goddamnit: The Man Who Wasn't There

    Wow, picking a favorite Coen Brothers movie is like picking a favorite child. They're all great in different ways, though The Ladykillers is probably the red-headed stepchild of the group.

    Yeah, I haven't seen all of these yet, but I voted anyway because I can cancel my vote? The best from the ones I saw was No Country for Old Men. For reference I have seen: Raising Arizona, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, No Country For Old Men, Burn After Reading, True Grit

    3. The Big Lebowski
    4. Fargo
    5. True Grit
    6. A Serious Man
    7. Barton Fink
    8. The Hudsucker Proxy
    9. Blood Simple
    10. O, Brother, Where Art Thou?
    11. Raising Arizona

    Haven't seen the rest. Fun fact: Blood Simple was remade recently into a slapstick comedy set in Medieval China. No, I don't get it either.
