In my opinion, Joel and Ethan Coen are one of the best filmmakers in Hollywood. Not just in today's world but of all time. They have for over twenty years have consistently made great movies, from great Oscar winners like No Country for Old Men and Fargo, to great comedies like Raising Arizona and The Big Lebowski. The reason I made this poll is because I've been on a huge Coen Brothers phase and have watched a good chunk of their films over the last few weeks. So my question is, what is the best Coen Brother movie? Or at least,what is your favorite one? The best one is probably Fargo, but my personal favorite is the Big Lebowski.
Thank you for your time. ;D

My personal favorite is The Big Lebowski but you can't really go wrong with any of them.

I'm voting Lebowski, but I haven't seen most of the choices That's understandable. I actually haven't seen a few of them either. I really want to see "The Man Who Wasn't There".

Tough choice, but Jeffrey Lebowski wins this one.

I haven't seen all of them, though I intend to someday...but my choice is O Brother, Where Art Thou?
One of my all-time favourite movies, period.

No Country for Old Men. Great story and acting that had small hints of their humor, along with being the most engaging for me. One of my top films for last decade.

I haven't seen Lebowski yet, so I voted Raising Arizona.
