A Simple Plan. Fargo had great actors. A Simple Plan had great actors and a better ending.

MY TAKE?...FARGO OR SIMPLE PLAN?...THATS A DRAW...TWO EQUALLY GREAT CRIME AND SNOW POTBOILERS POPULATED WITH MEMORABLE CHARACTERS AND AMAZING MOMENTS...

Fargo is definitely the better movie, but A Simple Plan is also very good and it's an underappreciated film that never gets talked about.

The comparison is apt, as it's amazing how Coen-esque A Simple Plan feels--it's reminiscent of both Fargo and Blood Simple--despite neither being written nor directed by them.

I like Fargo better, but A Simple Plan is still one of my favorites.
