The Cohen Brothers' movies are not about the stories. The stories are just there to keep your mind busy as you see scenes from the setting.

The plot they chose was a modern day book of Job. So it's kinda funny in a dark sorta way and it keeps your mind busy.

But really what you're looking at is scenes from the life of an adult in the 60s, who struggles with how American society was changing. The most powerful bit for me is all the stuff about his kids being idiotic superficial potheads.

Holy shit, you're the first person I know who knows A Serious Man. Love that film. I brought it up on a date once and was immediately bought a pitcher of beer to stray the conversation from the point that i knew about this movie.

garden state

old boy

the darjeeling limited

the royal tenenbaums

tekkonkinkreet

rushmore

fear and loathing in las vegas

Also Scarface isn't all that good. It's just trying to score points by giving The Godfather a BJ.

Lots of overlap with other lists here, not surprising since we're all internet nerds that probably all like sci-fi.

Alien

Eraserhead

Rosemary's Baby

7 Samurai

The Thing (Kurt Russel one, the new one I haven't seen yet)

Blade Runner

Top Gun

Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid

True Grit (the new one, old one is meh)

Valhalla Rising

Apocalypto

Gladiator

The Matrix

Hook

Deathproof

The Fellowship of the Ring (non extended, fucking extended versions are all too damn long)

House of 1000 Corpses

Thor (obligatory superhero film)

American History X

Happy Gilmore

Supertroopers

Pirates of the Caribbean (1st one mostly)

Desperado

I've realised that if you put Kurt Russel in a movie it is bound to be good. Not the same as the Clint Eastwood rule though. Anything that has his name on it is fucking awesome. Even his shitty movies are fucking awesome. He is Blondie. He could kill the Terminator. He could hard talk the Terminator and the T1000 into submission even if it wasn't his perogative. He could pwn u without even trying. Your life is over.

Deathproof would have been unremarkable without him.
