Every great director is allowed a stinker
The ladykillers was certainly that . Even made " hudsucker proxy " seem good . Except made Kubrick who was always good .
shareAllowed. And this is not a stinker, not their best, but not a stinker.

What in the Coen canon is worse the " the ladykillers "?
shareIn my opinion Millers Crossing, The Hudsucker Proxy, Intolerable Cruelty, and maybe Raising Arizona. Although I only saw it once many years ago.
shareI agree with " hudsucker proxy " as it was poor . The others mentioned weren't great but not as bad as " lady killers " . But 'millers crossing 'was a coen masterpiece . Like most of their work it gets better on second viewing . The story , the writing , acting , cinematography all top notch .
shareI'll give Millers Crossing another try.
shareYeah millers crossing is a true classic! Hudsucker and intolerable cruelty I have yet to see. For me lady killers,burn after reading and yes...wait for it...my least favorite coen bros film is...hail Caesar. Just couldn't get into these flicks although I would be remiss to call any of them stinkers, they just failed to make a connection with me.
shareMillers Crossing is very good. Hudsucker was good. intolerably cruelty was good.
Ladykillers was prob the worst IMO. Lowest tier for sure. I was ready to turn it off after 20 min. It got better near the end, but wasn't great either. The funniest actor in the movie was the painting on the wall.
Unpopular, but I never loved Raising Arizona or O'Brother much. The rest are good or great.
Hail Caesar and O Brother Where Art Thou.
