Just the ones they have directed. They have made a lot of great ones. Let's keep it simple and narrow it to five.
1. Fargo.
2. Miller's Crossing
3. Big Lebowski
4. Hail, Caesar!
5. Raising Arizona
I think the list is pretty self explanatory with the exception of Hail Caesar! which needs to defended. But I found it a brilliant love letter to 1950's Hollywood even portraying the Black List somewhat sympathetically. It is an almost perfect film with one fatal flaw -- Josh Brolin -- who did absolutely nothing with a wonderful part. Imagine Tom Hanks or Jim Carrey or anyone with an ounce of charisma in that role. Anyways I am just interested in seeing how others rate the Coen films. And some of the why.
