The Coen Brothers movie are not for everyone. 

I don't particularly like some "specifics" (for instance, some of their subject-matter) and they DO tend, more often than not, to go "over-the-top" just to make a point (like Quentin Tarentino).

Nevertheless, I rank them among the top three to five movie "story-tellers" of all time.  Just wondering if anyone agrees.

If Jeff Hostetler could do it, Daniel Jones can do it !!!

Rich: I have 'em all on DVD/Blu-Ray (as appropriate) except of course for Buster Scruggs (Netflix).  Some are super-hard to find.  Bob

Blood Simple was just on some station and I fully enjoyed it AGAIN. One terrific movie. Dan Hedaya and M. Emmet Walsh were just outstanding.

Out of the list of movies, there were a few I hadn't seen, and the only two I can say I did not like were Barton Fink and Inside Llewyn Davis (which I hated), but the others, just great movie-making.
I HATE TO INCLUDE THE WORD NASTY< BUT THAT IS PART OF BEING A WINNING FOOTBALL TEAM.

Lenn: I also did not particularly like Barton Fink, except for the manner in which they told the story (which IMO was just as masterful as the others). Bob
