Blood Simple / Amazon Prime /Coen Brothers

I can't believe I never saw this . Fantastic movie !! I think it's the first Coen Brothers' movie. Love these guys!
I need to see a couple more movies that they did. I need to see Miller's Crossing . I really liked Inside Lewyn Davis.
What's your favorite Coen Brother's movie?
I guess , No Country For Old Men is mine .

The greatest Hitchcock movie that he never made. Still my favorite Coen Bros.  :thumb:

Absolutely love the Coen brothers!  :thumb:

Fargo #1, O Brother Where Art Thou #2, The Big Lebowski #3

No Country for Old Men, Raising Arizona & Barton Fink could just as easily be the top three though.

They have a decent stinkers list too: The Ladykillers, Intolerable Cruelty ...

We actually just saw this recently as well, and agree - fantastic movie. Millers Crossing on the other hand wasn't as satisfying on first watch - I think it's one that will need another viewing.

Despite considering myself a bit Coen Bros fan, I also have a fair number to see for the first time - it's a bit surprising just how many films they've put out.

I have not seen the film since it was released. I remember thinking it was excellent then. Might need to see it again. My favorite would also be No country....

You watch it and you think "Oh man, don't do that!" and then he does it.  And things just grind against him.  Great flick.

Damn good film.

I think the only film that they wrote and directed that I haven't watched is The Ladykillers. I'll get to work on that soon.

I thought Ladykillers was fun, witty and juvenile. So much so I saw it twice.  :thumb:
