I caught a few episodes when it was on TV, but I don't remember what I thought about them at the time.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I can't even.
So does everybody in the music thread have a favorite Coen Brothers movie? And if not, why?
The Dude abides, Hec. After Lebowski, dunno, probably Fargo, but hard to pry them apart at that point.

I'm pretty sure SA's link went to her own fubos site?
I really have trouble deciding on my favorite Coen film. Depending on what day of the week it is, I could go for Raising Arizona, Fargo, Lebowski or Oh Brother Where Art Thou?

If it did, she changed it. It went to Stereogum, who often have songs for download but do not in this case.

Raising Arizona or O Brother.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I haven't seen them all, but definitely Raising Arizona, of the ones I've seen. (I think I'm missing Miller's Crossing and at least one other.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Man, where's the Barton Fink, love? Huh? C'mon it's got John Mahoney as W.P. Mayhew the Faux-Faulkner. John Goodman's "I'll show you the life of the mind!" Steve Buscemi in a bellhop hat! Judy Davis as the ultimate writer's muse / copyeditor / ghostwriter / wet dream (a role she also played perfectly in Naked Lunch. More Judy Davis more of the time, please.) Turturro's Faux-Odets poetic working man dialogue. Michael Lerner and Tony Shaloub. The hotel inspiration for the Hyperion.
I love Barton Fink. Though I also love Raising Arizona, O Brother, Lebowski and Miller's Crossing.

Coens are very hit or miss with me. BF was like 2 hours of wha? and why? that wasn't enjoyable to me. TBL was 2 hours of me wanting to slap annoying people (except it has Sam Elliott voice and that almost makes it ok).

That's a movie I admire more than enjoy. Also, it feels like it's trying too hard to be profound in a mysterious/artsy way. Makes a great double bill with THE SHINING, though.

I suspect the Coen's would love that description of the movie.
