gcw I watched ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou’ over the weekend. I’m not sure what to make of it to be honest? What a strange film that is. I didn’t think it was bad, but then again I’m not saying it was that good either. Clearly had all the Coen quirks to it.
Jules72 gcw the Coen brothers really have made a very mixed bunch of films… can’t say I was into most, but then No Country for Old Men came along
nicksneddon Jules72 great film. He’s up there with Darth Vader and Thanos as the big screens greatest villains for me
Jules72 Watched the Truman Show with the kids yesterday… once again they were really sceptical (wanting to watch Spider-Man) but ended up loving it. It’s great having a crap memory - can’t remember what happens in any of these films
LT42 I love most Coen Bros movies, The Big Lebowski closely followed by No Country For Old Men for me
alistair Re: the Coens, no one appears to have mentioned Fargo. Stone wall classic. Big fan of Raising Arizona too Re: Spacey, I still think Swimming with Sharks is one of his best.
LT42 alistair Yeah Fargo is brilliant, just watched it a few weeks ago too, for about the 6th or 7th time. Buscemi steals the show for me. “Shut up back there, or else, you know, we’ll have to kill yeh”
Homegrove Only Coen-movie I didn’t like was Inside Llewyn Davis. Maybe I just didn’t understand it. To me it was just two hours of Oscar Isaac being a dick.
jonattonyeah nicksneddon Two all timer performances in Bardem and DDL for TWBB that year. Shooting right down the road from each other, no less.
jonattonyeah Along_the_Wire Hard nope from me, my man. Pitt is a firm third. I’ll take an argument for Freeman over Spacey - that’s fine - but Pitt is too much of buffoon to be considered a Seven winner to my mind. Just to be ridiculous, I might even put him fourth. Our girl Gwyneth is a thunderbabe in it. And her head is the most important part of the film.
