NCFOM has my single favorite scene from a Coen bros movie. The tenseness here is off the charts.

Netflix used just this scene in its entirety as the "trailer" for NCFOM. The movie had been on my to-do list since it came out, but that just convinced me to watch it right away.

This is such a good scene.

Shout out to the only one to survive an encounter!

I've seen most of them.  Definitely need to get around to the last few.  It's really tough not to vote for Big Lebowski.  It's def the favorites, but I think Blood Simple is their best movie.

I watched Buster Scruggs on a whim and was surprised how good it was not realizing it was a Coen Bros. film.

Curious what's next for these special movie debates.

We gonna get a Wes Anderson, Denis Villeneuve, Martin Scorsese, David Lynch,Stanley Kubrick, or Terry Gilliam thread?

Maybe all six.

I'm pretty sure it's Coreys movies next.

One of my favorite scenes too. I love Barton Fink, but I love all of these movies. Fargo is probably my favorite.

This thread got me to rewatch The Ladykillers for the first time in years, and I enjoyed it as much as ever.

Growing up, Faro was a family favorite, and that specific scene was one of our favorites, and we all like to quote it to this day.

Only seen Big Lebowski and didn't understand all the hype about it. But since it's the only one I've seen, it wins by default.

[Brickman | 3,995]

Missed this one. I've seen about half of their movies and have enjoyed all of them for different reasons. I do need to finish off the rest of their catalogue at some point.

It was a tough choice between Fargo and No Country for Old Men. Ultimately I went for No Country for Old Men because they absolutely nailed the conversion from book to movie and I'm also a big Cormac McCarthy fan (RIP  )

Just rewatched Blood Simple tonight, damn that’s a good movie. 

[Andy_Bogomil | 815]

Just watched No Country for Old Men again the other night and love that movie. Awesome pacing, tension, story etc. Probably my favourite over Big Lebowski, which is great but has a few parts where it falls off a bit. I really liked True Grit, Fargo and Burn After Reading as well. Hudsucker Proxy was absolutely terrible.. maybe one of the most boring movies I've ever seen.
