  1. Fargo

    I also think Burn After Reading is their most underrated. I absolutely loved it.

They're terrifically talented directors and there's nary a weak movie in their filmography. However, I truly consider Blood Simple to be their finest work, perhaps one of the greatest directorial debuts of all time. Blood Simple is so incredibly tense, well-acted and riveting, even the whirring sound of a ceiling fan sounds menacing.

  1. Blood Simple
  2. No Country for Old Men
  3. Fargo

The Big Lebowski
Barton Fink
Blood Simple
Seeing Inside Llewyn Davis tonight, and from the look of the trailer, it could edge one of these out.

No Country is their best followed by Fargo. True Grit is a solid third best. Those three are masterpieces.

I think you've picked their three best films. Following those three, their best films are Barton Fink, Miller's Crossing, Raising Arizona, Blood Simple, and True Grit.
I have a hard time judging something to be the most 'underrated,' but I think Intolerable Cruelty, The Ladykillers, and The Man Who Wasn't There are better than their reputations.
