Best Coens' movie

Barton Fink, A Serious Man and No Country are the trifecta

did literally nothing wrong

It's a sign of just how good these weirdos are that nobody has even mentioned Miller's Crossing, O Brother Where Art Thou?, or Burn After Reading yet. All of which, along with every film posted, I could understand being your favorite.

For me, it’s gotta be the Hudsucker Proxy

Criminally underrated, especially Paul Newman's performance.

The judge Holden of cinema

It really is, and picrel is the most underrated one.

All their movies are just Jewish nihilism. You get over it past age 18.

I am one of the dozen people who own this on DVD.
Would that it were so simple.

all three are the correct answer

How do you stop him from seriously fucking your wife?

Can't disable the Ableman

You don't, you just move in with the hot neighbor widow and let him deal with the kids and that one other neighbor messing with their lawn

You crash into his car head first.

What do you make of the prologue in the premodern Jewish ghetto, where the wife stabs their neighbor because she thinks he's a demon?

A racist podcast once told me that the Coen brothers are goyaboos, and that lens is the way you understand their films.

I thought the supernatural elements were poorly done and pulled down the rest of the film, also the production design really doesn't match the period it's set in.

Blood Simple is their original stroke of genius. It's got the bones of their later films in it

Most interesting part of the movie

They're Larry's ancestors and he's being punished because there was no demon.

1. No Country
-Power Gap-
2. A Serious Man
3. Fargo
-Power Gap-
4. Barton Fink
5.Big Lebowski

It's the funniest movie ever made

no country is in fact their only good movie and the rest are basically made entirely for jews

I didn't get this movie at all. are people supposed to self-insert at jeff bridges and think they are cool? is that the entertainment value of the movie?

Be honest: do you have autism?

GOODBYEEE!

yes

if autism is being bored while some fat middle aged guy waddles around acting cool in various unrealistic situations, then sure

2jewish4me: the flick
Also, incredibly annoying to watch.

Larry is punished for being a human waffle like his ancestor that had to wait for his wife to take responsibility for a decision he should've made.

same, seen it multiple times. every time it comes off like some boring stoner music video. and i smoke weed.

The Dude is an aloof loser

I probably rewatch BAR the most.
Serious Man is great though. It's a companion piece to Crimes and Misdemeanors, the other great work where Jews struggle with god's mysterious ways.

trvthnvke

Three friends who talk to each other but have no interest in what the other is saying.

Main character is a loser who thinks he is part of an important scheme actually has no effect on the plot at all

A list of characters who balance the line between absurdity and "wait I know someone exactly like that"

Shut the fuck up Donnie

It's a very funny movie sir

Not their best movie but underappreciated. The best Billy bob movie

Big Lebowski
No Country for Old Men
O Brother Where Art Thou
Burn After Reading
A Serious Man
Fargo
Hail Ceasar
Barton Fink

The only ones set in stone are the top and bottom

Why the hate for Barton Fink?

Fuck I gotta rewatch it again

It was just unpleasant. Unpleasant atmosphere. I get an unpleasant feeling thinking of it

Most evil and powerful villain of the Coens' opus. Anton Chigurh, the bad guy from Barton Fink, the guys from Fargo and the guy from Raising Arizona together would not be enough to stop him

the goy teeth sequence is still one of the funniest things to me, but no one else seems to think it's funny

that's what most jewish movies made specifically for jewish people are. they have a sick and twisted idea of what entertainment is and it's not relatable at all.

Mere surmise, sir.

The punchline of "who cares about the goy" is so damn good. Truly a window to what it is to be Jewish.

the whole monologue has funny lines and double talk. the irony is that the rabbi actually gave larry the answer but it was buried in the details and larry missed it entirely because of his entitlement and tunnel vision

the hotel as a setting in barton fink is my favorite thing about the movie, stellar atmosphere in that place.

undefeatable villain gets taken out by a car crash

Bravo Coens

Ladies...

thy beauty is to me

Like those Nicéan barks of yore,

That gently, o'er a perfumed sea,

The weary, way-worn wanderer bore

To his own native shore.

always thought I was the dude or maybe Walter

mfw I'm Donny

This was the first Coen movie I watched, unknowingly obviously, as a 12 year old and a huge fan of spoof movies. I saw a wayans brother was in it and that was all I needed to know. I don't think I understood much of it at all, I remember next to nothing, they rob an old lady by drilling in her basement?

Never revisited it, I probably should

I am the walrus

How do they figure? A Serious Man is probably the only one featuring predominantly Jewish characters. There's nothing particularly Jewish about making good movies, lots of non-Jews make good ones

The punchline is really "What about the goy", not the rabbi's response. This is because the rabbi's response to the dentist is that some mysteries can't be solved, but he did good by caring about his patient and should go back to life as normal. He committed a moral act that required agency, which Larry lacks and is the reason the rabbi told him the story in the first place. Larry misses it entirely and asks again while the dentist understood immediately and was satisfied with the answer. Larry's lack of agency in crisis is a theme of the film

It's not their best but it is a very charming movie.

The Ladykillers is commonly ranked as "the worst" Coen brothers movie (all things being relative). But it really is their attempt at a broad/madcap comedy, and is thus better than many non-Coen brothers comedies. It's the lowest-brow film from high-brow filmmakers.

Wasn't this supposed to be directed by some other dude but he died so the Coens made it as a tribute? Or did I pull that out of my ass?

At one point the film was to have been directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, the Coens' former cinematographer. The Coens were originally commissioned to write the screenplay only. When Sonnenfeld backed out, the Coens were eventually hired as directors, with Sonnenfeld retaining a producer credit.[8]

it's a parody of film noir but with a gen x slacker who doesn't give a single fuck about the contrived plot being put in the role of main detective. it's the Coens comment on how absurd film noir plots would play out in modern America.
