    3. The Big Lebowksi
    4. Fargo
    5. Miller's Crossing

    Hey now, @captain awesome is the one who called it overrated. Just the other day I was saying it's one of the best comedies in the past 15 years.

    Wait, did I? Cause once i snap i cant be held accountable for my actions, and that's when accidents happen. I thought I just said it was pretty well-regarded back when it was released in 2000

    I'd say every one of their films is a must see expect for Blood Simple and The Ladykillers.

    I'd say Hudsucker and Ladykillers. Shame since that's Newman and Hanks, respectively.

    My 3 least favorites are:

    1. Intolerable Cruelties
    2. Lady Killers
    3. Blood Simple

    Still better than 97% of all other movies.
