Wow. True Grit might be my favorite. Have enjoyed them all, but least favorite might be Intolerable Cruelty. Barton Fink is definitely the least accessible for mainstream audiences, but even that has some great lines and camera shots that any movie lover would love.

"Lady Killers" may be my pick. Everyone will have their opinion, so it's a fun thread to read.
As much as I love The Duke's version of "True Grit", The Coens' version is great, mostly due to being close to the novel. Plus having another great cast involved makes it another great film. -

Personally I think the only bad film they have made is Intolerable Cruelty. After that, The Ladykillers and Burn After Reading are tied; both are filled with moments I love despite feeling uneven overall.

I have seen everything they've made with the exception of Intolerable Cruelty, and I can say The Hudsucker Proxy is the only one of their films I flat out dislike. People hate on Ladykillers, but that film while it was no Fargo or A Serious Man, actually made me laugh. So Hudsucker Proxy it is. And I have never forgiven Jennifer Jason Leigh for her disaster of a performance.

I've seen all Coen Brothers films, and my least favorite ones are Intolerable Cruelty and True Grit. They're the only ones that I actually disliked, while my favorite three are NCFOM, Fargo and A Serious Man. All three of them masterpieces if you ask me.
Also, my mind cannot comprehend how someone could HATE The Hudsucker Proxy with a PASSION? Or any Coen film for that matter. THP is one of their most original and underrated works, and easily in their 5 best. Personally I found it extremely likable, well written and directed, funny and exciting! Anybody feel the same?

I don't really hate any of them, because even their failures are interesting. If I had to pick a least favorite though it would be "O Brother Where Art Thou", just not my style of humor.

The only one I was really disappointed by was 'The Ladykillers'. Several parts I could have done without (the parts involving the overdone Wayans Brother act, and most of all: the scene with Greg Grunburg plays the commercials director, involving the murdered dog arguably the only entirely execrable 2000scene the Coen's have directed.
They should go back in a few years and edit
that
sht out. I mean I have the DVD and still watch it occasionally, but that is some repugnant sht there, as Ordell Robbie would say, in Tarantino's only really good movie.

'Blood Simple' is there worst movie, technically, but I was surprised and delighted to see how they re-cut it. I've seen it half a dozen times, with mostly pleasure.
