My best of Coens is Miller’s Crossing, Fargo is second

Miller’s Crossing has some of the best cinematography of that era, and Albert Finney is a goddamn revelation in it. One of the best mob movies of the ‘90s. Perhaps second only to GoodFellas.
But... on repeated viewings, it loses some of its oomph. Barton Fink, meanwhile, still reveals new crazy ass shit to me every time I watch it.
Goddamn the Coens are good
