Fargo

No Country for Old Men (2007) is my favorite movie from that decade.

fargo

but i think all three of them are pretty much perfect movies.

i put fargo at the top because it's got an emotional bite that i don't get out of the other films.

every time margie tells gaear there's more to life than a little money, i get a little misty-eyed.

guess i'm a wimp!

i also think inside llewyn davis, blood simple and raising arizona are pretty much perfect films in their own way.

the coens have given us a lot of great cinema.

For me, TBL is more re-watchable.

i can see that. it's an easy film to throw on and spend the evening with.

No Country For Old Men,with Fargo a close 2cd

I myself have never understood the gushing & fandom over The Big Lebowski. Just me I guess.I found it too meandering & disjointed.

Same here. I saw TBL in the theater and I didn't even like it at the time. Fargo is definitely #1 with NCFOM coming in second.

NCFOM

I know Big Lebowski is very overhyped, but it's the most re-watchable of the three to me.
Fargo is my second.
