    Which recurring actor wears the crown (for quality of performance, not quantity)?

    Turturro? Goodman? Bridges? Clooney? McDormand? Buscemi?

    Turtorro and Goodman for me.  Goodman killed in RA and is still doing them all these years later.

    Wow that is a great question.
    I would go Turturro for the sheer brilliance of his roles, but they are all awesome.
    No wrong answers there.

    I'd go with Turturro as well. Whether lead or support, he brings it. I mean, Jesus!

    Yeah he is always amazing.
    Might be my favorite in Miller's Crossing.

    For me it is probably my least favorite of their movies.... certainly not in the same area code as Raising Arizona, to me.
    (Still like the movie....just last on the list.)

    Who is voting for O Brother? It's probably in my all time Top 10.

    Agree O Brother is a masterpiece buy I can understand some not liking it.  Super quirky and the way it mixes the classic story into the movie makes it even more so.  Throw in the good musical stuff and it is almost perfect, to me.

    This is surprising to me also. I’ve watched that movie at least 8 times and it gets better each time.
