On 02.01.23 I asked readers what their best Joel and Ethan Coen movie was.
As you can imagine, an assortment of answers were included. The Coen filmography, which includes many classics, is an all-timer — it has spanned five decades. There aren’t many American filmmakers who can equal it.
At Venice, David Fincher mentioned at his press conference that the Coen’ 1990 mob movie “Miller’s Crossing” was his favorite film of theirs. Fincher credits the iconic scene where Bernie Bernbaum begs for his life, as having had a big influence on his upcoming "The Killer".
I personally can’t choose a Coen favorite. There are too many. The flat-out great films in their filmography includes the likes of “Fargo,” “Inside Llewyn Davis,” “No Country For Old Men,” “The Big Lebowski,” “A Serious Man,” and “Raising Arizona.”
