The Dude, immortalized by Jeff Bridges, is already a keystone in the stoner pantheon of American wastoid culture, right up there with Cheech &he man seems to have one policy in selecting his screenplays: say yes to everything (for those who beg to differ, let GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE and SEASON OF THE WITCH be evidence). But let us not forget, this is the man who made LEAVING LAS VEGAS, ADAPTATION. (this bloggers personal vorite) and THE ROCK. But before all of them, he played the dumb-y hick H.I. McDunnough (pronounced hi or hah by everyone in the movie) in RAISING ARIZONA, proving his comic chops and then some.

Everyone has a vorite Beatles song. So, if theres a Beatles song for everyone, why not a Coen Brothers movie for everyone?

Another entry in the Brothers largely successful contingent of western-inspired films, TRUE GRIT featured the Oscar-nominated performance of then-13-year-old Hailee Steinfeld, who wouldnt take from anyone (even The Dude himself, Jeff Bridges).

FARGO has, to date, elicited more re-quotes, mis-quotes and just plain quotes than any other Coen Brothers film, and for good reason:

10. John Goodman and John Tuturro Fans - BARTON FINK, The stoner channel,new york asian escort model THE BIG LEBOWSKI, O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU?, MILLERS CROSSING, more...

Youre darn tootin!

Which Coen brothers movie are you?

The film that finally tipped the scales and won the Brothers their first Best Picture Oscar, NO COUNTRY was a bold and somewhat horrifying examination of the dark side of human nature (the film even garnered awards from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & like they used to. A period piece that doesnt feel dated in the slightest, HUDSUCKER is a great companion to that other Tim Robbins vorite, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.

Among a very mixed bag of Paris-based shorts in PARIS JE TAIME, the Coen brothers (surprisingly) came up with one of the warmest and st of stories Top 10 Reasons The Coen Brothers Are The Beatles, The stoner channelin this love letter to the City of Lights, with Buscemi in a decidedly tamer role as a wayward tourist (no wood chippers in sight).

The writer-directors clearly have a select bunch of vorite actors to work with, and these two Johns are at the top of that list (along with Steve Buscemi, of course). Aside from their equally riveting turns in BARTON FINK, they have both given us gems both large and small in a slew of the Brothers movies, and Goodman will again be appearing in Coen-land in their upcoming INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS, starring Justin Timberlake.

Oh, I just think Im gonna barf...!

This film has, hands down, one of the best film scores of all time, and is high on most Coen ns lists in general. Which isnt surprising, since the gorgeous music is so utterly intrinsic to the action. It was a truly inspired decision on the part of the Brothers Coen to infuse Homers Odyssey with the spirit of American Country.

He was kinda funny-lookinHe wasnt circumcised!

And remember:

After the shocking brilliance of their debut BLOOD SIMPLE., Joel and Ethan Coen followed up with RAISING ARIZONA, proving that they could do comedy just as well as crime drama and violence that actually has a point (most of the time). Since then, theyve done just about everything in between.
