    The Ballad of Buster Scruggs-7.5 or an 8.0 maybe

    A duo who are among my favorite directors. I only have 4 left to see from them. Their body of work speaks for itself although I'm not sure if they're misanthropes like some say they are.

    And it's happened once again
    I'll turn to a friend
    Someone that understands
    And sees through the master plan
    But everybody's gone
    And I've been here for too long
    To face this on my own
    Well, I guess this is growing up

    Yeah, that is impressive, though I'd swap your score for Fargo around with the one for No Country, personally.

    Fargo is a top 10 of all time movie for me. I think it's a perfect amalgamation of their comedic and dramatic styles, and the one that most personifies a Coen brothers joint. No Country for Old Men is great too, and the fact that I wouldn't even put it in their own top 10 shows what a ridiculous amount of quality they've produced.

    Fargo is near top 10 of all time for me too and I thought NCfOM is just a solid film and nothing spectacular. Blood Simple is my favorite Coen's.

    Heh heh, no I don't get the love. I've seen this film many times before. Fargo and Blood Simple are unique.

    The struggle in NCfOM is all external - it's just a plain war. The struggles in Fargo and Blood Simple are internal - they're insurrection.

    I thought I was the only one who loved Blood Simple a lot.
