3. Last link from Hitfix has 14 people giving their top 5, all of which are different -- appropriately enough since there is no consensus

4. Worth underscoring that point: there is no consensus as to which Coen Brothers movies are the best.

5. There are 17 Coen Bros. movies. Only one (Ladykillers) is broadly disliked. Intolerable Cruelty considered lesser by many but it has fans

6. But Ladykillers aside, there are 15 or 16 Coen Brothers movies all of whom have fans passionate enough to rank them in top 5.

7. A few films show up many people's top 5 (Miller's Crossing, Fargo, No Country, Barton Fink). But really, no consensus beyond that.

8. Another complicating factor is that virtually all the movies improve if you watch them repeatedly, which scrambles any ability to rank.

9. Having re-watched almost all the Coen movies lately, I have to say even the one's I was initially cool to now seem good to excellent.
