Fargo, but I loved "O, Brother Where Art Thou" too.

So many people live Fargo, though it's a really violent film.
It is indeed violent, but well written, directed and acted, and it's very suspenseful too.

i would have to go with this one. Was funny, and had a great catchy song that gets stuck in your head.
Have you heard the soundtrack for the film? It's very good.

Are you people crazy?
Don't get me wrong, Fargo is a great movie but it is nowhere near the masterpiece Barton Fink is?
Barton Fink is an absoute treat. Surreal, original, highbrow without being pretentious, brilliant performances especially by John Goodman and the cinematography and design is a delight.
It won the Palme D'or in 1991 for good reason.

I was kind of staying away from Coen bothers, but I guess I need to watch this one.

I don't know if it is just me, but I thought Intolerable Cruelty was freakin hilarious.
I come from a family of Lawyers so the film was right up my alley.

I do like a couple of lawyer movies, but I wasn't too crazy about Intolerable Cruelty.

Actually I did enjoy this one more than I thought I would. I had very low expctations as it looked like the Coen's had sold out and gone very Hollywood but it actually turned out to be very satisfying.
Not their best, but not really a disappointment either. Well not to me.

Please stop. Intolerable Cruelty felt like eating a large bag of popcorn that had turned stale.
Nothing about it was funny in the slightest. Catherine Zeta Jones, as beautiful a creature as she is, did little to save the film.

Maybe he's a die hard Catherine Zeta Jones fan like you are a die hard Keira Knightly fan ... lol.

Okay, I admit I'm a huge fan of Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson, but not to the point, where I would fail to recognize a bad script. King Arthur, even with Knightley's presence, couldn't redeem itself. The Island was okay just because of Scarlett's participation, but it isn't something I'd recommend to anyone expecting more than helicopters and random explosions.
Having said that, Intolerable Cruelty wasn't "satisfying" or "freakin hilarious" by any stretch of the imagination.

The script does not make sense logically. Intolerable Cruelty apparently tries to create many twists, but they are all convoluted, and the ending actually does not make sense logically. Everything else collapses as a result.
