There are a couple of other Coen brother films I haven't yet seen; they've been moved to the top of my Netflix queue.

If The Big Lewbowski is one of those then by all means. Same goes from Barton Fink and O Brother Where Art Thou?

And Miller's Crossing and Raising Arizona.

Loved the latter, queuing the former.

Oh, and also Blood Simple.

I think I somehow saw only part of that one, years ago. Onto the queue it goes.

Lebowski is the only one of those I haven't seen, and it's on my list. O Brother is one of my all-time favorite movies.

How about The Man Who Wasn't There?

[isomeme]

Never even heard of it...onto the list it goes!
