What amazes me about the Coens is that they're excellent writers and editors. There are ridiculously few directors who write and edit. Kurosawa is one of the other few.

I remember going into Inside Llewyn Davis knowing nothing about it, and about a quarter of the way through thinking "Boy, this is a lot like O Brother Where Art Thou?" Once I realized it was Coen Bros, I felt a little silly, but O Brother is my favorite movie so I guess it says something about ILD.

I was always of the impression that their strength was setting re-creation (including characters) to an absurd level. Perhaps some of that is due to the material they adapt, not well-versed there. A family member with extensive experience in West Texas in the 70s or so was blown away by No Country's setting and characters. Taken as a whole, I wasn't really impressed, but that's from a wholly different viewpoint. Ladykillers had some enjoyable parts and is probably their only one I've watched more than once. Hail Caesar was also thoroughly enjoyable as a sort of period piece but had a few dud spots in it. O Brother and its soundtrack were also good. Never too taken with Lebowski, and saw True Grit but meh.

anton chigurh is tommy lee jones. tommy goes into confront him, he's not there. one time he just misses him and drinks a glass of sweating milk, then he has him cornered and chigurh is gone, because he is a phantom that lives inside of tommy lee jones mind
