Heres a few to mill over.
Lets start with

The Man Who Wasn't There

First of all, I have not watched a Coen Brothers' movie which I did not enjoy, and to be honest I think this movie is best enjoyed with no knowlege of the plot.  All you need to know is it is extremely dark and depressing, and although flowing in odd motions at times, its amazingly well structured.  A must see really.


Time Bandits

Something I'm sure everyone has seen at one time or another, but well worth mentioning.  A masterpeice by Terry Gilliam, and something that falls into the category of being both for all ages and quite apt for the mature viewer.


Brazil

Another great work by Terry Gilliam, and probably something I already mentioned here.  The imagery and timing of the shots and scenes is wonderful, and it fits the twisted and confusing plot beautifully.  If you enjoyed Catch 22 for its depictions of ignorance and inefficiency in the system which runs our lives, then you will love this.  Weird but a good weird, a weird which cannot be replicated.


The Onion Movie

I didn't realize it existed for a long while, but when I heard of it, I had to see it.  Its good, but not quite what I hoped, and in fact a little inconsistant in the degree and success of the humor used.  Just like their regular reports, the skits run from tasteless to openly offensive, and from mildly humorous, drawn out, and hilarious.  So its worth watching.

Also the setup is much like a mixture of the flowing and spastic plots from Tim and Eric, and the "show within a network" setup of SCTV.  And considering they have the video section of the onion up and running, I'm sure a second movie would be set up in a much more consistant form.

same

i even loved the ladykillers and the hudsucker proxy, which most people hated

at the moment my favorite coen movies are fargo and no country. o brother is also one of the best musical ive ever seen. i still need to see blood simple, raising arizona, barton fink, man who wasnt there, and burn after reading

what a lovely film that was. ive never enjoyed a twist ending as much as i enjoyed that one. i love how it goes completely insane in those last few minutes but you dont even question whats happening because the rest of the movie is so insane as it is.

i did wish bob deniro's character had a bigger role but in any case i would say brazil is probably gilliam's masterpiece. and apparently he never had a movie that went off without a hitch; he has run into more problems during production than possibly any other director. he could have been a truly iconic filmmaker if not for his bad luck... too bad

Brazil and Time Bandits are a part of this trilogy of being a man.

Time Bandits -Boy
Brazil - Man
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen - Old Man

I think all these movies bombed in the Box Office though

Yeah pretty much, making a good movies one thing, making a good movie that'll sell's a whole different ball game.

Gmagnum already made a thread about the poster but holy piss look at these:

[rtil]

wow, those are great

[spite]

[shitturtle]

i heard there was a whole bunch of scenes cut/re-written/re-shot because they were too scary or something.
which is kindof annoying because they were probably really cool.
