The name of this poll still hasn't been fixed. Really?

Barton Fink for me. Fargo a close second.

Really like most of these, but have to vote for "O Brother, Where Art Thou.." Cracks me up every time I see it. The cast is brilliant and the writing is excellent.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Could have sworn we've had this poll before.
Anyway, my choice is pretty obvious, friend-o.

I really like O Brother. Primarily for the music, which isn't my style of music, but hearkens back to my ancestors so to speak. Parents from Kentucky on the Ohio river.

I can't vote. A lot of great movies there. I even liked Burn After Reading which is consistently panned. I laughed maniacally.

It's close between Fargo, No Country..., and The Big Lebowski...
Too close, I won't vote. Nice poll!

I was given the Big Lebowski at work today because someone said they thought I would like it. In fact they said "watch this move, I'm guaranteeing that it will be your favorite move"

Tough choice. I love O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Fargo but No Country For Old Men is a masterpiece. Fantastic movie - great, shocking plot and brilliant Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin acting.

Can't remember what I voted last time, but I'm going with Miller's Crossing (closely followed by Barton Fink and No Country)

Out of the 5 I've seen, I'll go with O Brother, followed by Lebowski, Fargo, Burn After Reading and Raising Arizona. (Got all 5 on DVD.)

I haven't seen them all, but Raising Arizona really clicked with me.

My vote goes for No Country For Old Men. I like just about every Coen brother Movie I have seen...and I just got one Coen Brothers movie a couple days ago (Barton Fink) and I'm really looking forward to watching it.

Argh, too many to chose from. I think No Country is probably my favorite, followed closely by Fargo, The Big Lebowski, and O Brother Where Art Thou.
