Bump them. I'm not going to go searching for them. And quit making them if you know we already have one (or more)

Blood Simple & A Serious Man. Both way underrated, possibly their 2 best.
Besides Lebowski, of course.

Oh my god, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is just absolutely stellar. Fantastic. Sublime. Out of this world. This movie single-handedly saved the dreadful movie year that has been 2018. Jesus Christ I loved this movie so much. I feel ecstatic!!!

I think this might be their best film since Lebowski.

Yeah, it's great. I don't know that I'd go as far as to call it "their best since Lebowski", but it's solid the whole way through, which is especially rare for an anthology film. So well-written, too. That Liam Neeson chapter was messed up.

LV: I love that James Franco’s entire chapter is just an elaborate setup for a single (fantastic) joke.

Yeah I don't give a shit about your requests for some great Coen brothers thread merge. Therefore, I'm not going to make the effort. Think about that dominance as you are looking up at my nutsacktragabigzanda wrote:every time this thread gets bumped, i assert my dominance over ruddo just a smidge more
