My favorite is undoubtedly Hudsucker Proxy. Written with Sam Raimi, super fun screwball comedy. "You know, for kids!"
I think the BEST one is probably Fargo though.
Fargo is the massive outlier for me. Maybe it's because I came from the Midwest, but holy shit I was blown away by it
It's an incredible film. All of the performances are fantastic and it's so starkly beautiful. They've made a lot of good movies but Fargo will always be their masterpiece for me. It's just got a fuckin' vibe that no other movie has.
It was between True Grit and Fargo for me.
It's amazing in how it constantly builds the stakes to something bad happening throughout while being such a tight narrative. It really is a masterpiece, among the best tragedies.
William H. Macy played such a good in-over-his-head sad sack.
Think I may have to go watch it now...
I didn't know Raimi was a cowriter on that one; that's great!
They all lived together in an apartment at one point I think. Frances McDormand too if I remember correctly. Must have been an interesting place.
