| Seriously hard decision between Fargo and No Country For Old Men - but Fargo was one of the movies that originally piqued my interest in movie making, so Fargo it is. |

Please change the title, it is hurting me. I vote for Fargo, although No Country and A Serious Man come pretty close.

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. -------------

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. ------------- 
Would you like some Bailey's? |

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

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.) ------------- "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." -- H.L. Mencken |

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

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. ------------- https://soundcloud.com/las-birnam" rel="nofollow - LAS BIRNAM (soundcloud) <<= my music =>> http://lasbirnam.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - LAS BIRNAM (bandcamp) |

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" ------------- Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?

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

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.

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

I have a certyain affinity for their early movies.... I went for Raising Arizona, but Blood Simple is awesome as well. ------------- 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 |

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. "Do....not.....seek....the.....treasure......."
