i would recommend anyone who like's the Coen's version of True Grit to go and read the book by Charles Portis. their adaptation is a lot closer to the book than the older movie, and the book is quick read but gives you a lot of interesting background, and also read all of Portis' other books they are also very good

a Coen bros. adaptation of The Dog of the South or Norwood would be incredible, you'd probably never be able to tell it wasn't original material


anyway the best "serious" one is No Country, the best funny one is Raising Arizona, but honestly the top is pretty crowded: Burn after reading, lebowski, fargo, miller's crossing

what about least favorite? besides chaff like Ladykillers I really don't care about o brother at all, or hail caesar. I haven't seen intolerable cruelty and no one talks about it.

when I saw no country in the theater everyone sat completely silent and unmoving for like a full minute after the end, it was incredible

the thing that gets me about that movie is how efficient the storytelling is, I mean it gets going real fast and introduces characters by telling you exactly as much as you need to know and nothing else and you don't even notice it
