Why do the Coens love this so much?

Dear Coen Brothers,

I re-watched Fortune because it was in your Top 5 movies of all time list. I had watched it as a kid on a videotape. But I did not recall much of it. Frankly, I think the film is a bit of a mess. The scenes weren't that funny or anything. Except maybe the one where Channing cooks for her two lovers. Jack Nicholson's performance was particularly uninspired. I have never seen such an uninspired show by Nicholson. The character was perfect for him though. Nothing wrong with the casting. Stockard Channing was sexy and stole the show from Nicholson and Beatty. The film does get pretty dark towards the end. I liked the aspect of the film where the male homo-social desire of the two men overpowered their mutual desire for the woman. They could have done more with it. Maybe you should remake the film, Coens.

Best Regards, Pimpin.
