    Miller's Crossing is underrated.

      No Country for Old Men is a weird one for me. I absolutely love that movie, but something changes for me once Josh Brolin is done with the movie. Though my favorite scene of the movie happens to occur after that.

      I think Burn After Reading might be their most underrated, but that's just personal taste. If most people don't love it, then maybe I just overrated it?

      Anyway.

      No Country for Old Men
      Fargo
      Raising Arizona
      Burn After Reading

      I've seen The Big Lebowski three times, but never uninterrupted and in the right moment so I tend to not judge it until I watch it in the correct setting.

      Edit; Cannot wait until Inside Llewyn Davis comes out. I think its going to be a real winner.

                  I don't pretend to be a critic, but lord knows I have a gut, and my gut tells me it's simply marvelous.

                    1. No Country for Old Men

                    4. The Big Lebowski

                    I haven't seen or didn't care for most of the others. I didn't like Burn After Reading or A Serious Man. I may have put them in 1-4 rankings, but it's splitting hairs between them all. I really liked all four of those movies and I could just as easily rank them the opposite direction and be fine with it.

                    Those dudes do good work.

                      They make good movies, not great ones. No Country For Old Men is overrated by quite a bit.

                        Big Lebowski and Miller's Crossing are my favorites, the rest are solid but aren't personal loves of mine.

                            I watched Barton Fink in a creative writing class my Sophomore Year. It's the only thing I'll probably ever take from that class. Loved it.

                              I put Raising Arizona as my 5th, but that could've been The Big Lebowski or O Brother. They're all pretty close for me. Burn After Reading was good but not quite in their league.

                              Somehow, I still haven't seen Barton Fink or Blood Simple. Hmmm.
