The Coen Brothers are amongst the most creative filmmakers in history. No super heros or CGI; they combine brilliant writing with first-class actors to tell funny, offbeat, yet uplifting stories that always hit the mark!
@@rikk319it didn’t sound to me like they were disparaging super hero movies or CGI, in fact I think if the Coen Brothers reunited to do their take on the genre it would probably be incredible

@@TheSidewaySociety While I do appreciate the amount of work that must have gone into making this video, I have to question many of your choices. Do You really think that was the best scene from The Ballad of Buster Skruggs? The scene with the cowboy gleefully fighting in the bar was a thousand times better and more memorable than the scene you chose. You are doing a disservice to that movie by putting the scene you did over the bar scene. In No Country for Old Men, the scene with Anton in the rural gas station with the owner seems more iconic, and in Raising Arizona the scene where Nick Cage is being comically chased through the grocery store and other places with the amazing camera work seems a far better choice. And on and on. 🧐 And your choice for number 1 of all the Coen brother's filmography is THAT scene in Fargo? That is anticlimactic and VERY questionable.
With the exception of the Hail Caesar selection-that is by far my favourite scene, only made better when you later see how they settled the pronunciation problem by changing the line to “It’s complicated”😅
I'm not sure I am in agreement that these are the "best" scenes from each of the Coen Brothers movies. But they were certainly fun to watch again. Thanks!
Somehow each Coen Brothers film centers around at least a couple of people I would never want in my day-to-day life; however, I find it impossible to stop watching them!
I don’t know if it’s logical, but I’m presuming that this list matches the order of the makers favourite Coen film list. And if that is the case then Lebowski and Miller’s are way too low!

Fargo is just so incredibly good. So good that even the TV series has you craving that whole Minnesota verse that they live in. That accent, the mannerisms. I wasn't a fan of the Chris Rock season but the other ones have just been amazing, I can't wait for the next one.
@alanhoffman-mp2es I bought that movie in a Bargain Bin.

Thank you for the Coen Brothers retrospective. I thought I’d seen all their movies but oops I missed a few. Holly Hunter in Raising Arizona made me laugh so hard i fell out of my wheelchair ♿️ what’s sad is that we have all gotten so old and the last 40 years have flown by in almost an instant. Thank god for Frances McDormand! She has such incredible range it’s no wonder she won the Triple Crown of Acting! I like how they have their very own repertoire of stellar performers who help them achieve large box office 💵💵💵💵💵 do they still make movies? I believe you omitted The Man Who Wasn’t There. I was impressed with Billy Bob in that film. He’s really a great actor. Happy New Year. 🎊🎆 ❤and thank you for making me feel like I was at a film festival! 😊😊😊
@ thanks, I rented the Man Who Wasn’t There immediately after watching your video. Yep, the scene with Tony Shahloub, right? It’s there, you betcha, as ‘Marge’ would say. I am a Golden Age of Hollywood buff but still have to catch the most recent wave to keep my faculties sharp. Even tho the studio system collapsed, the last half of the 20th century brought us an amazing new age of Hollywood. The Coen’s seamlessly entered the 21st century with O Brother. Unfortunately, they have not worked together in five years, each producing solo projects instead. I hope u create more videos like this one. So many fantastic directors to choose from!
My compliments. What a satisfying collection of just goddam good scenes. Your choices are exceptionally well considered and stimulate further thought. The pleasure is similar to finding out more about an old friend. Thank you for going to the trouble.
There are so many great scenes in their movies. I find that in 'Burn After Reading' when the Russians reject the information as 'drivel' and escort them out the building Frances 's character says " you can't do this to me I'm an American".
I have watched "A Serious Man" close to 10 times as each viewing uncovers more of the subtle story (of Job?). In a film with so many great short roles, Amy Landecker hits it out of the park as "Mrs Samsky".
A Serious Man isn't necessarily my very favorite Coens movie, but it's definitely the most underrated. Absolutely agree that it benefits from repeat viewings even more so than most of their other work.
The Cowboy at the Bar talking to the Dude in the Big Lebowski is by far the best scene (or collection of scenes) in any Coen Brothers Film. Poetic, iconic almost like it is right out of a Frank Capra Film-- thing "It's a Wonderful Life" circa 1985...
When I think of "Wonderful Life" and the Coens, the scene that comes to mind is the angel Hudsucker asking Norville what happened to the blue letter as they are suspended above the street.
That was very nicely put together. We could quibble over your scene choices, but there isn't much point. Any fan of the Coen Brothers is a friend of mine.
Any Coen scene is a great scene. I liked a few a little better. In Blood Simple: Frances McDormand to assassin (after shooting at him through the wall), (Not Marty): "I'm not afraid of you, Marty." "Well, ma'am, if I see him, I'll sure give him the message." (Dying) "Well, if I see him, I'll give him the message." No Country for Old Men: Carla Jean Moss: What're you goin to do? Llewelyn Moss: I'm fixin' to do somethin' dumbern' hell, but I'm goin' anyways. If I don't come back, tell Mother I love her. Carla Jean Moss: Your mother's dead, Llewelyn. Llewelyn Moss: Well, then I'll tell her myself Fargo: "Did he have any distinguishing marks?" "He wasn't circumcised."
The Coen Brothers are darkly hilarious. The same sense of doom regarding the human condition that Kubrick had. Kubrick was cold and dispassionate. The Coens are absurdly eccentric. Brilliant.
I was one of the few people that saw Blood Simple when it came out. I loved that nobody in the film understood exactly what was going on except for the audience. Up until then, I had never thought about what writers, directors, or producers contributed to a film. The Coen Brothers changed that.
For my money, their best scene ever was in Blood Simple when M Emmet Walsh was sweating like a banshee at the table, with the minimal light and every little sound amplified. And I would also say his performance was the best of all the amazing performances in Coen Brothers films, even better than Frances McDormand in Fargo and Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski.
In the Intolerable Cruelty scene, Chuck Mangione's "Feel's So Good" is playing in the background on the restaurant stereo, which was an iconic "chill out" song of the '70s, and nicely contrasting the strained exchange between the characters.
@@TheSidewaySociety - Will do, friend. In the meantime, what say we reedit a more relatable comp that maybe feels like you at least skimmed a somewhat comprehensive trailer or two before deciding? Cool.
There are a number of great scenes here, most of which are arguable as "best", but the one that really stands out as not even close is Burn After Reading, in which the best scene of the entire film is the last one with J. K. Simmons and David Rasche. It's one of the funniest scenes ever put to film, way beyond even the considerable history of the Coens. But I understand you not wanting to include spoilers.
@ I was a bit ignorant as to who they were at the time, so I wasn’t particularily dialed in tonwhat she was saying. Once she mentioned she was headed out to New York to attend an early viewing of Miller’s Crossing. I didn’t realize how big they would become.
Wheezy Joe’s death was by far and away the best scene from Intolerable Cruelty. Been watching the Coen Brothers’ films since taking a chance on Blood Simple a few months before Raising Arizona came out, and Cruelty was by far the weakest film they’d released, at that point.
I don't know if any scene tops the coin toss, but the coin has no say and the final scene come close. Miller's Crossing is easy, but "always put one in the brain" is a solid contender too. Strange pick for Fargo, it's hard to go wrong with any scene there, but I'd have gone with "and it's a beautiful day". Lebowski is another tough one, mark it zero is a winner, Jackie Treehorn, "the bums lost", and "this is what happens!' also do it. The shaving scene in Man who wasn't there also stands out but it's been a while, and the Killing Floor Blues scene in O'Brother always gets me. This was a fun watch. I had the privilege of working on one of these, unfortunately it was Lady Killers. The dailies were hilarious, the football POV and the n bomb scene had a room full of us dying. It just didn't work when it all came together.
@@JohannesLabusch i'm a Dan Hedaya stan and really love this fight. but you're right, it's hard to make everyone happy and pay tribute to every incredible perfromance in these movies!!!! love M Emmet Walsh!!
great story! glad to hear it felt on the right path. sometimes they just don't work. also i agree with you on strange pick for fargo but it was hard to find a scene that encapsulated what ultimately is a hysterical movie. i almost did the questioning in the car lot scene (the 2nd one) but that would have spoiled it for people who haven't seen the movie
When I fail or succeed I ask myself of the rule I followed and where it led or leads. No Country for Old Men had a profound impact on me. And not just for the music…
Yeah I know, it’s strange. I found a Blu-ray collection of five or six that I bought and had slowly collected the others through the years. Bring them to streaming!

The Cohen Brothers are a blessing from our Hebrew heritage of story tellers. They are chosen to provide us with entertainment and wonderful images.
The first sentence of your comment is spot on, but they weren't chosen by anybody, they just found their niche in Hollywood...

The Cairn Terrier in the carrier is a "Pomeranian," a "showdog with papers.

All of these movies are full of great scenes, seems like we don't need to call any of them "best"

This is what happens when you find a stranger in the alps scene From The Big Lebowski.
John Turturro so jipped, so often.
