I haven't seen:

Blood Simple
The Man Who Wasn't There
Intolerable Cruelty
The Ladykillers
True Grit

Otherwise I have all their DVDs.

Impossibly hard decision, but I have to go with Fargo.

I'll always side with Blood Simple, but The Man Who Wasn't There is severly underrated.

blood simple was pretty good. it was one of their first so you can tell they were just finding their style. very good flock though and weird seeing the chick from Fargo so young.

I know I am in the minority here. But, I think Hudsucker Proxy is one of my favorite movies of all time.
I can never turn it off when I see it on.

I started listening to an awful lot more bluegrass and Appalachia-style music after watching this. Big Lebowski and Raising Arizona are such cult classics, it's hard not to choose from one.

Talk about wide-reaching. There was this thugged-out guy who sat behind me in one of my high school classes. Someone was doing something dangerous up at the front, and I hear him shout in a Southern twang, "Mind you don't cut yourself, Mordecai."

I lost my shite when I heard that

Although I have to admit that most Coen Bros films are of superior quality to it, my favorite Coen Bros film has to be the Big Lebowski. I was shocked how low it placed in the 90s movie "We agree don't suck" thread. Thought for sure it would be a top 20

It was my #1 movie of the 00s when we did the voting.

My favorite of theirs is Miller's Crossing.

That's be my pick for their most underrated.
