You need to love them with one less "h."
What hooked you? Lebowski?
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

O Brother Where Art Thou
I have the ones I haven't seen on my Netflix que.
I love O Brother. Does this mean I am part Empress?

Well, I'm a huge Coen Brothers fan, but not so huge as to go see Ladykillers or Irreconcilable Differnences (which I know some people liked).
I guess they've got mortgage payments to make.
My favorites are: Barton Fink, Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski, O Brother.
Didn't enjoy: The Man Who Wasn't There (it still had a few good scenes)
Not great but sort of fascinating: Hudsucker Proxy
Excellent but atypical: Blood Simple
Irreconcilable Differnences
Do you mean Intolerable Cruelty? (Which I thought wasn't bad, but didn't have much particularly Coen-y about it. It was pretty bland.)

I've found there's an interesting subset of Coen Bros. fans who will insist until their dying day that Blood Simple is the Coens' best.

That's it. See? I didn't even care enough to remember the title.
If for nothing else, Blood Simple must be rented so that one may listen to the hysterical commentary track.

That is interesting. They're wrong, but that's interesting.
