Oh Brother Where Art Thou (upvote)

The Big Lebowski (downvote)


Oh Brother is a movie I should love. I like George Clooney, I love John Goodman, I love Holly hunter. I love historical fiction, particularly set in the south. I love bluegrass and folk music, I own a banjo, two ukes and two acoustic guitars. But the whole movie is discombobulated, it's too cartoonish. "Odysseus!" doesn't do anything for me. Some of the quotable one liners are really forced and don't flow on screen.


The Big Lebowski is a movie I was in the perfect demo for, young adult single male who smoked weed and I love Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, and Steve Buschemi. I was even in a bowling class at UGA as an extracurricular when it came out. But the movie falls flat for me every time I watch it, whether high or sober. It's like a Wes Anderson movie but less gay.

I reject the premise of this thread and you should all be ashamed. The Coen Brothers have made a few not great movies, I admit. But The Big Lebowski is not overrated. O Brother is not overrated. Fargo is not overrated. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is not overrated. I’ll stop, but I could name more.

Maybe they’re over “watched.” I’ve seen The Big Lebowski so many times I don’t really seek it out. But it’s like Star Wars. I’ve seen it a million times. Doesn’t mean it’s not great.

I don’t think anyone is overrating The Ladykillers or Intolerable Cruelty.

I didn’t like The Big Lebowski the first time I saw it. By the 5th viewing, I realized it was an addictive classic.

I have never liked Oh Brother Where Art Thou?

My least favorite Coen Brothers movies have been Inside Llewyn David and A Serious Man. both pretty depressing

Hail Ceaser is underrated. Alden Ehrenreic is really good in it.
