Where do we start?

Fargo
The Big Lebowski
O Brother, where Art Thou? (I laughed my head off within the 1st five minutes)
Intolerable Cruelty
Burn After Reading
A Serious Man
Raising Arizona

and some that weren't comedies:
No Country for Old Men
Miller's Crossing

The 1st 3 are in my top favorites. I like their style. They are also remaking 'True Grit', my DS informed me.

I have seen Fargo and Raising Arizona but none of the others you listed. I did like both of those.

Fargo was fantastic (one of my favorite movies), but I could not get through Burn After Reading!

I admit that one was.. different. I loved Brad Pitt's character though.

Did anyone see 'O Brother, Where Art Thou'? A seriously funny movie. Not offensive at all, just plain funny. George Clooney is in it, I love him in a comedic role.

Did anyone notice the scene in Burn after Reading ,when Brad Pitts character got into the car with John Malkovitch?
Malkovitch said something like "Well- - - Mr.Black?is it ?"
I dont have the greatest memory anymore but remembered Brad Pitt was Mr. Black in the film Mr.Black. That was the funniest part of Burn after reading.
My Coen list i :
Fargo
Raising Arizona
Oh Brother where art thou
No Country for Old Men

Meet Joe Black. That was a good movie.

I have to admit, my favorite is The Dude ~ The Big Lebowski. John Goodman made that movie, it wouldn't be the cult classic it is without him. After that, it's definitely Fargo.

Thats good news,he looks great.
The food program was NOT health foods but extreeme meals full of beef and fried stuff.
The sandwich I remembered was a BLT with a cheeseburger inside it,then the whole thing was fried.I had to stop watching.

Blinking My son watches a program called 'Man vs Food'. I can't watch it, the guy just gorges on the biggest, most gross stuff I've ever seen.

As someone who has to go into denial in order to maintain decent blood sugar,I cant watch those shows either.
Any other memories of Coen Brothers movies?

I'll have to think on it a minute. Did you see "A Serious Man"? That was pretty good. One of those understated comedies.

Speaking of, I heard a few years ago about a Japanese (I think) woman who thought 'Fargo' was a true story. She came over here to search for the money and ended up freezing to death out in that field.

'Intolerable Cruelty' was good. Did you see that? Not great, but definitely enjoyable.

The last Coen movie I saw was Burn After Reading. It was pretty good but dragged a bit.
