Not really, I just feel bossy. But is there anyone, in the US at least, better ?
Here's mine :
5.The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs
4. Miller's Crossing
3. Raising Arizona
2. The Big Lebowski
1. A Serious Man
Films that were more or less direct lifts off of great novels (namely, No Country For Old Man) were excluded. I have a particular fondness for their own screenplay work, directly or sponsored.
I have no idea who/what "yousuns" is, but here's mine:
Blood Simple (1984)
The Big Lebowski (1998)
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)
Hail, Caesar! (2016)

It's not generally considered one of their best, but I thought 'burn after reading' was pretty funny.
It is interesting how folks have fairly distinctive & different tastes on these things - It goes to the wonderful diversity, I think, of the Coens' conceptual palette that their various quirky projects work, and do work, on different people in different ways.
I found Burn After Reading to be enjoyable as well with a lot of big laugh moments - namely that one scene with Brad Pitt smiling.
Some of my selections are films where the Coens build upon some of their previous conventions and play around with different filmmaking styles. Hail Caesar, for instance, represents an evolution of Fargo combined with Barton Fink by taking a detective mystery yarn and using it as the stage for a bunch of scenes riffing on classic Hollywood.
It's a difficult task for anyone to narrow the Coens' best down to five titles.
Also, this ranking does not include Crimewave (1985), written by the Coens and directed by Sam Raimi.
Why do you feel the need to black out "Brad Pitt smiling?"
shareThat's exactly why I used the spoiler tag - because of that one scene where he smiles.
shareSeems very dweeby but whatever.
shareHere's the scene where Brad Pitt smiles (spoilers):

Hail Caesar was fucking hilarious too.
