This one.


Yup. I also enjoy Lebowski/Fargo/No Country but Miller's Crossing is perfectly composed from start to finish.

Yes. It is their "best" movie.
I like most all the other though...

it's a pretty narrow margin for "smartest" once you get in their best five, but i'd argue that barton fink is the smartest of theirs

It's Miller's Crossing.

A Serious Man is going to settle into the top 3 after a few years of reflection.
