I'm going poll crazy!

Done this one several times before but it keeps getting lost in various crashes and that - and there's lotsa new people here now. Anyway, which is gooder than the others?

And why, perhaps.

big lebowski. because it just is.

though o brother ran it close.

Had to go for Big Lebowski just because it introduced me to the Coens and is one of my all-time favourite films, but I LOVED Fargo and The Man who Wasn't There, which I thought was a stunning film and Billy Bob Thornton was incredible. O Brother was genius too!

In fact they're all amazing! biggrin.gif

THere should have been an "impossible to decide" option. Difficult to pick one (except Ladykillers which was a big dissapointing), but if I must, Raising Arizona
spacegurl
I picked Big Lebowski cos i reakon it's the ultimate. But Raising Arizona came a very close second
Svein
I had to go for O Brother... I love that movie from start to finish!
Jubei
I say O Brother, I love lots of their films, but I love the soundtrack to O Brother spcifically more than the rest, which gives it the tip. Its a tough call for me between The Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou and The Man Who Wasn't There.

Mind you I haven't seen Blood Simple, Millers Crossing or Hudsucker Proxy.

You must, you simply must.

As usual I'm torn - it's between Fargo, Millers Crossing, Raising Arizona, The Big L & Hudsucker - each is perfect in it's own different way.

O Brother for me. I loves a singalong.

Still don't understand the questionmark over what is in the box. Isn't it obvious?

The Hudsucker Proxy, although most of them are great. The Big Lebowski's not, mind.

I'm nothing if not predictable. I've tried to like it, but it just annoys the hell out of me.

Lebowski is my least favourite. (Although I still like it.)

I picked Fargo. Blood Simple would have come second.
Raven
I wonder if the results this time around will be any different from last time . . . wink.gif

Oh, and I'd have to go with either Raising Arizona or Fargo.
Zoe
Errr....I voted for the Dude.

There's been so many crashes oi gets confused,

Fargo. Hudsucker would probably be second with O Brother third. Every time I watch one though, that becomes my favourite - it's so hard to choose.

I really need to get hold of Crimewave.

Dude.. do I even have to answer this.

I hope so, Raising Arizona should so be further up the list ohmy.gif
superfurryandy
I've made my choice and it's Fargo - The Big L is fantastic, as are others, but I think Fargo is just perfect filmmaking.
rabbit57i
Has anyone ever heard of The Lebowski Fest? Bizarre.
Nonus Aequilibrium
I think I'm going to have to watch Fargo again. I can't remember much of it any more other than that it wasn't anywhere near as good as everyone seems to make it out to be...
Ade
Tough one, but I's got to vote for El Duderino.

Tied in a very close second place are The Man Who Wasn't There and Fargo. They are all quite different, which made picking a fave damn tricky. But His Dudeness never fails to cheer me up. I could quite happily see myself becoming The Dude in future years...


Yet to see Hudsucker, Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink and The Ladykillers.

A damn difficult decision if there ever was one. By a sliver, I went for Raising Arizona because it's my sentimental favorite - my introduction to the Coens and a film that genuinely makes me laugh like a loon and sob like a baby every single time. (Yes, I cry at the end. Especially with Holly's delivery of the line: "Can I just...look at him...a little bit more?" Gone. She's a goddess, that woman.)

And yet Lebowski, Fargo, Hudsucker....like I said. It was tough.
HellsBells
O Brother. Although Raising Arizona and Big Lebowski are close.
Igmeister
Fargo. Just.
