Favorite Coen brothers movie?

I've been on a Coen brothers kick recently and revisited Fargo, Big Lebowski, Man who wasnt there, Miller's Crossing, and Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
Of course I've seen True Grit, O Brother, and No Country.
And im ashamed to say ive never seen A serious man, Barton Fink, Burn after reading, Raising Arizona. I also heard Hail Caesar was good.
Not sure if it's "uncool" to like their movies, but I enjoy them. Which one should I watch next? It's really hard to pick 1 favorite, but since I'm partial to Mafia movies, I loved Miller's Crossing.

Inside Llewyn Davis is one of our favorite films of all time. Soundtrack is on par with O Brother Where Art Thou.

No Country for Old Men or True Grit.
i know i'll get shite for True Grit, but it's my favorite western.

Lebowski and No Country.
But they are all freakin’ good. Hard to not watch when they are on.

Oh, Brother, easily. Then Raising Arizona. I need to watch Miller's Crossing.
ETA: Hail, Caesar blew chunks, IMO. Probably the only movie of theirs that I've seen that I just do not like at all.

They make good movies. Nothing uncool about enjoying good movies.
Hard for me to pick between Fargo and No Country, but I'd probably go No COuntry if I had to choose. Inside Llewyn Davis is pretty incredible too.
I'm in the minority of not liking Buster Scruggs. Really their only movie that I didn't like at all.

Of those, I'd say Raising Arizona or Barton Fink. You can't go wrong with either of those.

"Blood Simple" without a doubt.

A lot of excellent ones but for me, it's No Country for Old Men.

The Big Lebowski. I also think Hail Caesar is underrated.

You should be ashamed.

Just love the screwballness (not a word).
But Fargo is a close second.

Every Coen brothers movie is good. They are far and away my favorite directors. I avoided Burn after Reading because the trailer was bad. It’s actually a really good movie.
To answer the question of which one you should watch next, it’s Raising Arizona. And it’s not even close. It’s basically a “What if the Coen brothers made a movie version of My Name is Earl starring Nicolas Cage set in the 1980s.” Except it came first of course. Everything about it is great. Cast. Soundtrack. Dialogue. Story. Humor.
As much a classic as The Big Lebowski.

O Brother Where Art Thou is my favorite.
