The whole chase scene in "Raising Arizona" is still one of the funniest sequences I have ever watched

Amazing catalogue of movies, most of which I adore. No Country for Old Men always stands out to me as a movie that has so much but is made with so little. It's ruthless efficiency blows me away every time I watch it, which is regularly. And The Big Lebowski is usually the first thing that comes to mind when I'm asked what my favourite all time movie is, but that's just like my opinion man.

Fargo is my favorite film they’ve made. One of my favorite comedies with some of the best dialogue and acting in a film. I love their movies and hopefully they will reunite to make another film together. Thank you for the video!

My favourite is the totally underrated Miller's crossing. I actually met Gabriel Byrne and we had a chat were he talked about the Coen brothers and the scene with Albert Finney with Danny Boy playing in the background. Was totally starstruck.

O Brother is such a fever dream, a true classic.

Small nitpick on Kumiko the Treasure Hunter. The girl it was based on Takako Konishi did travel to the US, first to Minnesota and then to North Dakota where she sadly passed away. The reason everyone believed she came to the US in search of the missing briefcase of money from Fargo was due to the media spinning this narrative when they reported on her death in 2001. They made up this idea that she believed the Coen Brothers film was real and she came to the states explicitly to search for the money. It didn't help that Takako had gone to a police station and pointed to an area on a hand drawn map asking the police for directions there and even mentioning Fargo a couple of times. That led the media to link her death to the film Fargo. However its more likely that Takako traveled to the states after losing her job and going through some personal issues decided to come to the US in search of an American businessman she once dated. She wasn't able to find the man and her increasing depression caused her to binge drink and using heavy amounts of drugs, leading up to her death near Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Her death was ruled as a suicide as her family received a letter from her while she was in the US stating she intended to end her life.

I love The Big Lebowski, Fargo, and Oh Brother, Where Aren't Though. Their dark comedies are my favorite. But, their best movie is Garfield.

I was 8 when I saw Raising Arizona, it was the earliest I can remember hearing my typically stoic Father laughing out loud. Thanks to this Video I'll probably watch the Blu-ray of Big Lebowski and then Burn After Reading, another movie that made my Dad Laugh Out Loud.

In film school I learned they use a pseudonym for the editor because of union regulations around the guilds. It may not be this way now but it used to be you couldn't be a member of multiple guilds but needed to be union for certain projects. I did a paper on Barton Fink (my choice) and it came up at that point :)

A Serious Man is as sublime a film as can be made. *Edit: Thanks for making this one gang🙏🙏

Two of the Greatest to ever put their touch on cinema!

No Country for Old Men has a place in my heart. I remember I had a classmate in my cinema class in college that told me watch this or Lawrence of Arabia, chose the first. And at the time I did think the ending sucked. Maybe growing up in where I did, violence was not new. But as a film buff I did get disappointed Bardem was able to walk away. It's not til I've grown that I now understand why it was a best picture. It really isn't about the story I saw, it's about the sheriff. Man crazy how you learn more about a movie over time. How you try to see from other people's perspective.

What makes me sad sometimes is realizing that you only get to see a movie for the first time ONCE. The Coen Brothers' movies are especially spectacular upon first view. Repeated views are great, of course, but that first view of each of their movies is such a treat. Seeing Blood Simple for the first time for me was simply magical.

All their movies are just great, even their weaker ones! The Coen Brothers are the definition of cinema! Hopefully they will return as a duo one day

In the Fargo TV Series, Billy Bob was one of the best Hitmen ever!!

Brad Pitt as Chad Feldheimer in Burn After Reading still makes me laugh

Love just about every one of the Coen Brothers films, but Raising Arizona just may be my personal favorite.

Seeing David Ransche (☆Sledge Hammer ☆) in Burn After Reading was the highest quality casting ever. Raising Arizona was brilliant....

I like the coen brother's alot and I think there one of if not the best directing duo's. Fargo is one of my favorite movie's of all time. I also liked raising arizona, the big lebowski, o brother where art thou?, miller's crossing, burn after reading, a serious man, the man who wasn't there, blood simple, true grit, no country for old men and barton fink alot. I would say my top 5 coen movie's are probably fargo, no country for old men, barton fink, raising arizona and the big lebowski.

I'm surprised they don't like the Fargo series. It practically pays homage to all of their films at one point or another.

I feel like Steve Buscemi would be a great subject for a WTF episode

Intolerable Cruelty was hilarious.

Words cannot begin to convey how much I love Fargo, Miller's Crossing and O' Bro

Two of my top five all time favorite movies are Coen Bros films… Raising Arizona and Big Lebowski. They’re two movies I can watch over and over and always find such joy in. Raising Arizona is one of the most intelligently comedic films I’ve ever seen.

Inside Lewin Davis was one of the most interesting scenes I've ever seen. I liked how it opens the way it ends, sort of. Also, it's one of the first films I've ever seen where I was just depressed by the end because of the lack of a happy ending and really how sad Lewis' life is.

WTF happened to the DCEU next please

Intorelable Cruelty is perfect! 10/10

I can't think of anyone else with a longer list of good movies.

They're... they're right there. Still making movies...

"Her insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase."

"That's gold, Ethan and Joel, GOLD!"

I listen to the O Brother and Inside Llewen Davis soundtracks regularly

No country for old man was amazing!

The Coen Brothers have directed some great films Over the years

Love these. Thank you.

Fargo, Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou?, and No Country for Old Men are classics. Though, I do find The Ladykillers to be their most underrated. It's not nuanced or complex as the films I mentioned, but I thought it was just funny.

Hey thanx! I enjoyed this so müch!! Your passion & enthusiasm 4 the Coen bros. which I definitely share!! Esp. Barton Fink & ... Fargooo!!

A little late to the party, but I never watched any Coen Brothers movies until I was in my twenties. The first of theirs I ever saw was Big Lebowski when I was 20 and took a film class in college, and then later saw their other movies like Raising Arizona, Hudsucker Proxy, No Country For Old Men, and Fargo on my own time

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is great too..

No country for old men hit me incredibly hard. Their tightest movie besides Fargo. Imo.

Joel died of an explosive diarrhea attack. Ethan went to check on him, slipped on the diarrhea and cracked his skull on the bathroom tile. It was a horribly tragic way to lose such talented filmmakers.

We get it you dont like Intolerable Cruelty, just let people like it, its ok. It's a blast and I've watched it more times than most Coen Bros movies. Some people still hate Hudsucker Proxy and that movie just slays me, that little bit of Raimi edge. Blood Simple is still just such a solis flick & the soundtrack doesnt get enough love.

Enjoyed watching. I'm a Coen Brothers fan and this is a terrific review.

"No country for old men" has still some of the most intense and terrifying scenes ever made and isnt even an horror movie. They are known for dark comedies but that movie was really something of different and great

Intolerable Cruelty is highly underrated. If you want to see a truly bad Coens' film The Ladykillers is just awful

Raising Arizona will always be my favourite film from the Brothers.

Intolerable Cruelty is one of my favorites of theirs

Well done . Nailed it!! JoBlow

Thank you for your reverence and respect for "A Serious Man." I think it's their best.

Looking forward to "Drive Away Dolls" this coming autumn.

I've over analyzed A Serious Man, and this is the conclusion that I came to. Throughout the film Larry keeps saying "I didn't do anything!" As if doing nothing means nothing should happen to him. The whole film is things happening to him, and him doing nothing. Then at the end, he finally makes a choice and does something bad, and God's judgement quickly follows. It's kind of like the story of Job if Job gave in at the end. Also Miller's Crossing is my favorite film of all time. I'll be surprised if I ever see one I enjoy more.

Excellent video

What happened to the Cohen bros? They're continuing to make good films. Loved Buster Scruggs

I love these boys so much. My favorite will always be Miller's Crossing

amazing video essay

The Tom Waits scene from BusterScrugs is their quintesential moment imo. please do dAviD LYnch

Miller's Crossing is brilliant and my favorite of their movies. I love all of their work and it is my number one.

"Fargo" & "Burn after reading" has still some of the best most WTF moments in cinema history. Like Brad pitt death and Steve Buscemi death

my money was part of the 60 million when i saw Fargo in the theaters. But i walked out of that movie thinking it was so stupid. But then saw it again on VHS when it came out and loved it!!!

Great video, brilliant film makers. Only thing I don't understand is why hardly any of their films are on 4K - or even Blu-ray. Surely someone could put out a complete collection for their fans. They deserve it and we deserve it.

Love Coen Bros so much! Had no idea they weren’t fans of the Fargo series..so many other Coen movies eastereggs throughout. Is Hawley trolling them? You covered a lot, but admittedly disappointed you left out Ethan’s goofy movie he wrote The Naked Man and his book of short stories and scripts Gates of Eden, which is fantastic! 🤘🏴‍☠️

Hell or high water is the only coen brothers esc movie that is absolutely amazing. It reminds me heavily of no country for old men

5:43 combinding is not a word!

I'd love to watch a streaming series based on the further stories of Buster Scruggs

I like the Coen brothers. I have seen most of their films. Raising Arizona and No Country For Old Men are two of my favorite films. I didn't like Fargo and found The Big Lebowski to be unwatchable so much so I didn't even finish viewing it.

I didn’t know that the Coens had anything to do with Evil Dead. That’s one of my favorite movies!

How great was this sum-up of the CoenBros phenomenon ? Totally great. The Coens are, in film, what Dylan is to me, in Music. On a whole nother level.

WELL DONE!!!!! 👍👍

What a delightful trip down memory lane. I discovered the Coens when Raising Arizona came out on video. I'd seen the trailer in a theater, but dismissed it as looking about as dumb and shallow as any film I could imagine. But man, was I wrong. I fell in love immediately, and followed the Coens from then on. Miller's Crossing was the low-profile gangster film I thought far superior to Goodfellas, and eventually, lots of people came around to agreeing. But at the time, everyone was patting themselves on the back for having "discovered" Scorsese. I took my folks to Barton Fink, making them lifelong Coen fans too. The snooty French got it, but I clearly remember the New Yorker critic dismissing it, while heaping praise on Batman, which is such a surface-only film, it makes me laugh. Speaking of, I sometimes wonder what a Coen Batman film would have been like, but as much of a fan as I am, I can't picture how the Coens could have pulled it off. Tim Burton is a shallow filmmaker by any standard, but he had at least a notion of how to bring a cartoon into the real world. I've never particularly liked his rubber Batman, but I can only imagine the Coen Batman being even worse. The Coens, for all their genius, are filmmakers' filmmakers. It's clear that their entire body of inspiration comes from film alone. And whatever one might say about Burton, he has a wider body of inspiration. And you need that to even begin the arduous task of translating the deceptively stylized world of superheroes into live action. There was no model in film that parallels what comic books do. It was utterly uncharted territory. There's no way around the fact that the minute you put a real person in a superhero leotard on film, the fantasy created by comics bursts. So I don't see the Coens cracking that problem, not with the ludicrous audacity that Burton cracked it, by turning his Batman into a six foot action figure, molded plastic muscles and all. I imagine that was one of many reasons they turned down the gig.

Honestly all their movies are really good. None of em suck

A Serious Man is very underrated.

Wow, great analysis of all their films. I've gotta say I am in almost 100% agreement with all your comments and ratings. Thanks.

Man who wasn’t there is my favorite

Coen brothers are masters of filmmaking, they gave us rich quality fun movies in this absurd strange world, lots of respect and blessings for them. 🙌🙏

Big Lebowski & True Grit are their best.

I'm at a loss for words, just, thank you, and thanks to the greatest film makers of my generation. Long live the Coen brothers.

Burn After Reading has always been my favorite Coen brothers movie. 🎉

I hope your conclusion is spot on! I feared they had some kind of falling out. Hope that’s not the case. They deserve any happy path they choose They’ve brought so much to us!

I love, ❤️ love, love ❤️ their works....

Don’t blame Sam Raimi for Crimewave, the studio did that.

You need to do a "What happened to the Wachowskis Brothers" ?

Just one? Miller's Crossing Number two? (Frick you!): Intolerable Cruelty (seriously, love the intense script and Catherine Zeta Jones. And Billy Bob Thornton) Number three? A tie between Raising Arizona and O Brother Where Art Thou (although I'll concede at this point that I could easily trail off into a list of all their movies). The Coens are the nearest thing we have today to what Shakespeare was doing in his time. Miller's Crossing is their Hamlet, Intolerable Cruelty is their Taming of the Shrew, etc. What happened to the Coens? They need to get back to writing dense Shakespeare-esque scripts and then filming the everloving shit out of it. (Oh, yeah...and I agree with you on The Ladykillers...poorly acknowledged but absolutely delicious)

Intolerable cruelty is my favorite movie by the Cohen brothers.

Ladykillers I helped them with the story, some of the shots. No Country for Old Men was my story. A lot of these directors haven't the bandwidth to do stories, too. Incidentally, there is a human pheromone from the grease on men's faces that cures criminal behavior! That's why I didn't open a story store in Hollywood (Star Wars, E.T., The Matrix, The Great Labowski, Groundhog Day, Lost in Translation, The Martian, American Beauty, Gattaca, Shawshank Redemption, Gravity, Inception, Interstellar, on and on.)

I remember being saved seeing the Hudsucker proxy it was a very dark place I was in rudderless and black, deathly-black. by coincidence, there was a movie on Belgian television, which showed once a mouth a quality picture, did not know the picture or the brothers but it saved my life love the brothers Coen for this and the cast of course. saw the rest of the Coen brothers' movies the year after. I think Coen comes from a dutch Jewish family. in dutch history, we already got the brothers Coen. 16e century. not sure of course some info is just that, also brothers.

who would dare say that about the ending to No Country For Old Men that was a gotdam masterpiece

O Brother, Where Art Thou? Is my favourite film out of all them they did.

Awesomeness Continues!! 😎👌👍They Make Awesome Movies! ✊👊🍁♈🍁

That rug really tied up the room together

I used to live a few blocks away from the gang in Silverlake back in the day (I also knew Jeff Dowd who got me into a "Lebowski Fest" in LA but I digress) and could make a book-length comment about the genius of these men so I'll just say that I include "Crimewave" and "The Hudsucker Proxy" as two of my top 200 films of all time, which gives you an idea where I place the rest of their filmography. As a horror fan, "Suburbicon" and "No Country for Old Men" chilled me to the bone.

I was pretty surprised after watching that animated movie Bad Guys with the kids. Who's name do I see at the end as Executive Producer and the Screenplay credit..Etan Coen

It seemed like after the cg in Hudsucker, Fargo was an in camera effect very natural lighting feel, Check out a film called "Cinematographer's Style" if ya'll can find it

Here is my at least 3: THE BIG LEBOWSKI, INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS and BARTON FINK…Love their films.

Raising Arizona is absolute fire! A top 5 movie for sure! I thought Cage's performance was solid and Holly Hunter was spot on.

'Blood Simple', 'Miller's Crossing' and 'No Country for Old Men' are my favorites. I worked on the Coen Bros. film 'The Hudsucker Proxy' as a make-up artist and there was a scene where Paul Newman was talking with his yes men that was hilarious (I was holding myself back from laughing) and it got cut from the film unfortunately. The film could have used it, in my opinion.

4:57 *WTF happened to Bruce Campbell* though? Good topic for a video JoBlo ;)

Intolerable Cruelty is actually Joel's favourite of their films. That's a true story.

This was like Really well made.

They have so many good movies. I am a big fan of True Grit

I enjoyed "The Hudsucker Proxy" more than "The Big Lebowski". And,, "O Brother Where Art Thou?" Is my number one favorite Coen Bros film, by a pretty good lead. It's actually one of my all time favorite films, period.
