I actually liked Miller's Crossing and Fargo best.Most people are not that familiar with Miller's Crossing. Raising Arizona was hilarious when I first saw it years ago. No idea if I'd still find it as funny.
When I first saw "Millerīs Crossing", I knew nothing about them (it was a couple of months before Gulf War), and we came into the cinema just because we couldnīt get any tickets for another (now forgotten) film being played at a nearby place and, when the first 20 min. or so had been played, my wife and me looked each other fully astonished: that was true cinema, one of those rare films done by people who had things to say, and who knew how to tell a story! And as the film progressed, so grew our admiration... Now, I have seen it two more times, and enjoyed it immensely again.Fargo was excellent, too. And Frances Macdormand did an excellent job there, too. Only that it was not so surprising, as we came into the projection room expecting for something more or less that height (and depth).
"O Brother..." is very good, too, and enjoyable indeed. But Odyssey is too much a story to be paraphrased, and it was not difficult to notice the sewings in that suit (BTW, I never have thought much about JoyceĻs "Ulysses", while Iīm in deep love with his "Dubliners" and his "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man"...)
"Raising Arizona" is a mad divertimento, which I enjoyed, too. But best of the best, "Millerīs Crossing", and "Fargo".

Raising Arizona can't miss; Nicholas Cage and Holly Hunter. Really funny, really "different" and a total critical and box office failure.
Blood Simple is pure Film Noir, they're total polar opposites as films; Fargo is a gem. Haven't liked any of the others tho' the Big Lebowski came close.

Before that it was "The Hudsucker Proxy."
...except for The Big Lebowski, which is hilarious. NB: I have not seen Blood Simple or Raising Arizona.clark
In your less than humble opinion, IMHO.Audiophilander
