Is 'the Big Lebowski" the greatest Coen bros flick or what?

[msatty99]

This is the best. I can watch it over and over and still find
new things to laugh at and appreciate it. It has made me a lifelong
Jeff Bridges fan.

[CanuckAmok]

1. No, Fargo is the best.

But Lebowski is great, too.

I quite like The Hudsucker Proxy, but I don't know anyone else who likes it enough to re-watch it.

[blondeatlast]

9. I love "Hudsucker" and watch it every time it's on.

Still, my favorite is "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?"

[Richardo]

19. Me too, bloneatlast...

Love Hudsucker Proxy...

[xmas74]

24. Second that.

Fargo is their best work.

[begin_within]

2. "The Man Who Wasn't There" was very good. Fargo is overrated, IMHO.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

16. Another vote for The Man Who Wasn't There

That film was brilliant.

[pokerfan]

3. I'm also partial to Fargo

But loved Lebowski almost as well. I need to get caught up on some of their later works.

[MnFats]

4. "Fargo" is a real good deal, ya know?

[Dangerously Amused]

5. Yah, anudder vote fer Fargo, eh?

[Initech]

6. It's my favorite movie ever made.

"This could get a lot more uh uh uh uh complex! I mean it might not be just such a simple uh you know?"

[bridgit]

7. naw, you guys are tripp'n, The Hudsucker Proxy...

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[lies and propaganda]

8. Of course it is....

He would have it no other way.

[jukes]

10. got to put my vote in

for "oh, brother..."

lest we forget our southern liberal brethren, who must live in occupied territory.

11. You're out of your element!

Donny: What the fuck is he talking about?

The Dude: My rug.

Walter: Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element!

The Dude: Walter, the chinaman who peed on my rug, I can't go give him a bill, so what the fuck are you talking about?

Walter: What the fuck are you talking about? The chinaman is not the issue here, dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

The Dude: Jeez, Walter, I'm not talking about the guys who built the fucking railroad here.

13. Shut the fuck up, Donny!

The Big L is the definitive saga of the alternate Baby Boomer - aging stoners, retired hippies, fucked up Nam vet, etc.

[Kire]

12. According to this poll in the Entertainment forum, it is not.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? is winning.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=210&topic_id=11233&mesg_id=11233

Fuck that shit. First the Dude gets his rug pissed on, then he loses the money, and now this. Am I wrong? Am I wrong? Let's go bowling.

[Rowdyboy]

14. Its a great one, but "O', Brother" beats it by a mile....

IMHO....

[atomic-fly]

15. I'm a Cohen fan, but never got into Big Lebowski

I might have to give it another try.

[speedoo]

23. Definitely give it another try...

I've seen it maybe 4 times and every time I see it, it gets better.

For instance, Philip Seymour Hoffman, as the rich Lebowski's yes man was absolutely perfect.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

17. Isn't this thread really a tribute to how good the Coen brothers are?

Seriously, you could make a case for any number of their movies. Bloodsimple, The Man Who Wasn't There, The Big Lebowski, Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou?... How is it possible that these guys might actually be underrated?

[Richardo]

18. No. It's way down on my list... #6

"Blood Simple"
"O Brother Where Art Thou?"
"Hudsucker Proxy"
"Raising Arizona"
"Fargo"

...all better in my opinion.

[LynneSin]

20. My vote will always go to "Raising Arizona"

No argument there!

[speedoo]

21. I love Raising Arizona.

It's one of my Coen Bros. favorites. Impossible to say which is my #1, because it depends on what I'm looking for at a particular time.

[Lautremont]

22. My vote is split between Miller's Crossing and Barton Fink.

I love 'em both.

[SaveElmer]

25. Fargo is one heckuva movie...you betcha!!!

I gotta say better then that Lebowski picture den...

[cemaphonic]

26. I think it's easily their best comedy

And I love Raising Arizona and O Brother...

Best of all of their movies is Miller's Crossing.

[MissMillie]

27. I can't pick a favorite

Just like w/ food, there are so many that I like so much that I can't say which one I like the most.

[deutsey]

28. It's my favorite

:thumbsup:

[aquaman]

29. Fargo....

No doubt in my mind.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

30. I think it's one of their worst...

I've watched it several times, hoping I would finally get it, but I just find it tedious, which is tragic for a Cohen Brothers film. :shrug:

[AtomicKitten]

31. there are many

I think Miller's Crossing is a beautiful film and Raising Arizona a classic.

[leftofthedial]

32. this is the best

of a good bunch of movies
