personally I think its up there as one of their best, probably the best film period they've done.
I'm gonna say it, curious how many agree, or if everyone think its complete blasphemy.....I don't see how no country, fargo, and o brother are considered the top. I like them all but I don't really see it.
I just watched it last night. I was disappointed by it. So in my humble opinion... Well, it wasn't all that great.
shareI think, like most Coen films, you really need to see it s few times to fully appreciate how brilliant it is. The depth and themes are amazing, and often very subtle. You really have to think between the lines, and focus on intention. The films like a big game of chess.
The Big Lebowski is still my favourite. But this is a solid second.
I've seen it 4 times now and each time more and more things make sense or become apparent.
That's the beauty of the Coens work.
I've only seen Miller's Crossing the once, but I was blown away by it.
Until I see it again, Fargo has to remain at the top of the tree for me.

Kind of a weird statement I was making now that I think about it, favorites are hard to list if not almost impossible thing for me to do. Heavily depends on mood and especially how many times I've seen something lately. I guess I can still relatively safely say that this and Lebowski are probably my top Coen Brothers films.
One thing I can say, 'coin toss' at gas station firmly belongs in my personal favorite scenes of all time collection. Right there with Corleone's 'meeting' with Solozzo and a certain scene I think of every time I hear the song, "stuck in the middle with you".
The problem though, No Country For Old Men's has these really excellent tension scenes, and no dialogue mostly, that makes it almost a 10 on first watch. Repeated viewings, kind feels "Ehh" for me.
It's definitely my favorite from them, and one of my top 5 films.
Have you tried watching it in Black & White? I did that once last year and now I can't watch it any other way.

I'd love to see you in the moonlight with your head thrown back and your body on fire.
I was just watching Man Who Wasnt There and began to think this about Miller's Crossing, definitely have it try it!
shareWow. I bet it looked incredible in black and white! I want to try it now
shareI've just rewatched it. I've seen most Coens films and I'd agree this is their best.

Things I especially love about this film are: the art direction in the scenes actually taking place in Miller's crossing, John Turturro's best role IMO, and how intricate the plot was. I mean the Coens even went through serious writer's block doing this movie.
shareNot for me, but then, it's hard to find a favorite. In fact, when it comes to rating Coen Bro films, I find it easier to pick the ones I don't like so much, and the rest are all up there about even, all for their own reasons.
I guess I would put Ladykillers down there, maybe also Burn After Reading.
I certainly wouldn't put No Country, Fargo, or one of my most favorite Bro films, O' Brother down there.
But I also wouldn't put Miller's Crossing over all of them, nope.
Be sure to proof your posts to see if you any words out
This is very near the top for me.Very underrated in my opinion it is both enjoyable and well made.
1. Lebowski
2.Miller'Crossing
3. Fargo
4. No Country
5. Barton Fink
I definately feel like the Coens were at their best in the 90s Miller's Crossing was the beginning of a great run of films for them.
You me and Bernie? Where would we go Niagara Falls?
Lebowski is the one I enjoy watching the most - but this and No Country are the ones I think are their best.
