- Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) Masterful, and a little infuriating by design, the Coens' dark musical explores the torture of an unfulfilled, unmade creative life—like perhaps no other film.
- Barton Fink (1991) At this point in the list (and maybe even before it), we're discussing top tier Coen pictures, all extraordinary films.
- A Serious Man (2009) A little less than a decade before he killed us with that monologue at the end of Call Me By Your Name, Michael Stuhlbarg gave a tragicomic tour de force in the Coens' mesmerizingly unpleasant spin on the Book of Job.
- Raising Arizona (1987) The Coens' uproarious farce stars Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter as a couple who help them themselves to one fifth of an affluent family’s quintuplets.

- Raising Arizona (1987) Babies are complicated. Raising children in the yin and yang homestead of criminal H.I. "Hi" McDunnough (Nicolas Cage) and his police officer wife Ed (Holly Hunter) gets even more complicated because they stole the child in question.
- No Country for Old Men (2007) Every bullet in this neo-Western crime drama has a purpose. An adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel, No Country for Old Men offers a colorless look at drugs and murder on the border.
- The Big Lebowski (1998) Lebowski (a.k.a. the Dude, effortlessly played by Jeff Bridges) didn't sign up to be the star in this L.A. noir, man; he's just, like, stuck here trying to find a new rug.
- Fargo (1996) The plotline for the multi-Oscar-winning dark comedy Fargo is centered on easy money but it comes at the expense of, well, everything. Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) thinks he has the perfect plan to make a fast buck, but every calculation he makes is wrong.
