  O' Brother Where Art Thou?

  Never seen the first two or A Serious Man, but of the ones I've seen it's either Fargo or O Brother. Going with O Brother because I expected to hate it and thought it was amazing. Probably the best pleasant surprise I've had watching a movie outside of Shawshank.

  No Country For Race Bannon

  This is probably one of the hardest shit poles to vote a winner. I mean how can one decide between No County, Lebowski and Fargo which are all in my top 20 films of all time. Ultimately, @PostGameOrangeSlices might be the greatest depiction of a psychopath in the history of film and I can't vote against him.

  Not surprised...a truly brilliant film though.

  O Brother gets shit on a little bit now, but I love it. If it comes on HBO, I'm watching.

  Came down to No Country and Lebowski for me. I flipped a coin to decide.

  Fargo

  No Country left a serious psychological wound on the Throbber. Can't watch it again. Too disturbing.
  
  And, who doesn't like Jerry Lundegaard and the Trucoat?

  Fargo has a special place in my heart cause mom's* family is from North Dakota and eastern Montana and they all talk like those idiots.

  Huh? Are there critics who don't think this film holds up well? It's a fucking classic.

  Fargo

  While my holy trinity of Coen brothers movies is Fargo-Big Lebowski-No Country For Old Men, I really liked Barton Fink and wish it would get more love.
