Ranking the Coen Brothers
Seeing Burn After Reading last weekend got me thinking of my favorite Coen Brothers movies -- and why I've inexplicably been inserting an "h" into their name without realizing it.
Apparently I wasn't alone (at least in contemplating my favorites).
This list attempts to rank brothers' movies in terms of sheer greatness -- which means, of course, there will be many many disagreements.
I've gotta agree with putting The Ladykillers at the bottom, at least...
UPDATE: Slate also has an interesting piece on the politics of The Big Lebowski, which is celebrating its tenth birthday this year.

Sorry about that. No idea what happened. Working now.

Excellent. And you were right, there will be a lot of disagreements. I think there should have been a tie between Lebowski and Fargo, as both films sort of represent together what the Coens do best.
