    I think Miller's should have outlasted Fargo and AZ but they are all great.

    I think we should leave them all the hell alone. 4 way tie. They are all perfect winners.
    Dammit people, why did you have to vote already!?!

    I don't know about you guys, but I'm hoping the winner ends up being one of the films that star John Goodman. He is truly a Coen Brothers MVP. Is he not?

    Odds are good - he only missed Fargo of these 4.

    I should've read the other threads. Whoops. Got in late on that conversation! Hobbes, I love me some John Goodman.

    Right? I think that means John Goodman is a solid choice. All you Turturro people can suck it. :tongue:

    Shit, that's almost as sad as being quoted as saying "one of the films that star" instead of "one of the films starring John Goodman." :blush:

    All four of these are so good- tough choice but had to vote out Fargo.  Bummer to see Arizona getting so many votes!

    O Brother is easily my favourite Coen Brothers film.
    I'm not sure Raising Arizona would make it into my top 10.

    It’s going to be tough to vote against my religion—I’m an ordained Dudeist priest—but two of these are simply better films. And the other one, while a bona fide juggernaut, has had a good run—but it’s time….

    ^^^^Doesn’t get much better than those two sharing this scene. Might be my favorite one in a film full of perfect scenes.

    Out of these movies (all), Brother is the 2nd most watches...Lebowski is most.  Don't even think it is close...the gap between those two and the next is very wide.  I will watch these two movies over and over.  I would watch them 2 times in a row and still enjoy.

    Fargo is a distant 4th for me.

    Brother top 5 for me then AZ and Lebowski.

    We watched this very strange Coen Brothers film the other night' "The Ladykillers".  Anybody else seen this?  I thought it was OK, not great by any means, and just plain weird!  The very end though was funny!

    The first time I saw it I didn't think much of it....several years later I watched again and really liked it.
