#4 O Brother, Where Art Thou? 177 points, X lists "Damn! We're in a tight spot!" #1 placements: 2 #2 placements: 2 #3 placements: 4 Top 5 placements: 12 Box Office: $45.5M DOM, $71.9M WW Rotten Tomatoes: 78% Metacritic: 69 Awards: 2 Academy Award nominations, 3 BAFTA Award nominations, 1 Golden Globe Award and 1 nomination, 2 Grammy Award wins, 2 MTV Movie Award nominations Roger Ebert’s Review: "All of these scenes are wonderful in their different ways, and yet I left the movie uncertain and unsatisfied. I saw it a second time, admired the same parts, left with the same feeling. I do not demand that all movies have a story to pull us from beginning to end, and indeed one of the charms of "The Big Lebowski," the Coens' previous film, is how its stoned hero loses track of the thread of his own life. But with "O Brother, Where Are Thou?" I had the sense of invention set adrift; of a series of bright ideas wondering why they had all been invited to the same film." Its Legacy: Competed for Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Its soundtrack went 8x Platinum. More successful than the film itself. Created the Soggy Bottom Boys and the Down from the Mountain concert tour. Gave the youths a fresh spin on Homer's The Odyssey. The first collaboration between the Coens and T Bone Burnett. Also the first collaboration between the Coens and George Clooney. Gave Charles Durning a paycheck. Commentary: Have you ever found yourself reading Homer’s The Odyssey and asked yourself, “what if it took place in the South and had folk music”? Well Joel and Ethan have your back. Much has been said about this film’s Grammy-winning soundtrack, which took America by storm in 2001 with 8.2 million copies sold. T Bone Burnett and his team created something that was authentic to the music of that time, but still feels fresh, with modern recordings of classic tunes that permeate all through the film and give it a memorable charm and identity. But you also add in a very strong story about three men running from the law and fantastic cinematography that recreates a sepia-toned look common at the time, courtesy of the legendary Roger Deakins, and it’s no wonder why this film was such a success and why those Soggy Bottom Boys are still endearing and charming to audiences even today. A true classic whether you’re a country boy or not.

#5 True Grit 171 points, 26 lists "You must pay for everything in this world, one way or another. There is nothing free except the grace of God." #1 placements: 2 #3 placements: 2 Top 5 placements: 10 Box Office: $171.2M DOM, $252.3M WW Rotten Tomatoes: 95% Metacritic: 80 Awards: 10 Academy Award nominations, Roger Ebert’s Review: "What strikes me is that I'm describing the story and the film as if it were simply, if admirably, a good Western. That's a surprise to me, because this is a film by the Coen Brothers, and this is the first straight genre exercise in their career. It's a loving one. Their craftsmanship is a wonder. Their casting is always inspired and exact. The cinematography by Roger Deakins reminds us of the glory that was, and can still be, the Western." Its Legacy: The highest-grossing Coen Brothers movie of all time. One of the highest-grossing Westerns ever. The epic debut of Hailee Steinfeld (paging @WrathOfHan). Became the definitive interpretation of the 1968 novel. Forced Jeff Bridges to do the same voice for a decade plus. Gave Barry Pepper a paycheck. Commentary: Adapting a popular book is hard. Adapting one of the great American novels is harder. But picture adapting one of the great American novels when it already has an amazing film adaptation already. 1969 saw True Grit, based on the 1968 book. And this John Wayne starrer was already canonized as an instant classic, noted for its strong story, great box office, and for giving John Wayne his only Academy Award. So having to make a new True Grit under the shadow of an already revered classic was tough. So did Joel and Ethan succeed? Well, not only did it too earn Oscar gold (well not actual Oscar gold but a bunch of nominations. You know what I mean), but their take is oft-considered superior and the definitive interpretation of Charles Portis’ novel. This is the film people now think of when they hear the title “True Grit”. And who can blame them really? It’s a well-crafted, well-acted, engaging Western drama with high stakes and surprisingly restrained direction. The eccentricities found in the Coens’ other works isn’t really here all that much. It’s a very traditional, yet very profound take on the source material that still allows for great drama and incredible sequences. At least until we get to the ending. Following the original novel, the final few minutes are vague, confusing, and full of complex emotions, a contrast to the classic Hollywood ending of the 1969 film. And it’s this ending that ties everything together and still shows this is a Coens film in its blood and DNA. This is the highest-grossing film the brothers have ever made and will likely stay that way barring them directing a Transformers movie or something. And it’s good to know one of their best has that distinction and hopefully introduced the many youngsters who first saw it in 2010 to dozens more iconic and memorable films.

OMG GUYS As it turns out, Joel Coen didn't write Garfield: The Movie. It was written by a guy named Joel Cohen. How could I miss such an obvious detail? Guess I have to find a brand-new #5.

First screenings are happening. Y'all know where to go to express your spoiler thoughts.

Moderation @IronJimbo @stuart360 Your "grr critics bad" schtick isn't funny anymore. I don't know why you're throwing these temper tantrums because one or two random critics said mean things about a movie you're excited about, especially when the majority of those stuffy, pretentious, hateful critics you're complaining about like said movie, but it's beyond ridiculous and unnecessary. Don't even try with this.

Finally an intellecutal in this thread.
