Fargo (New FX TV series)

[whygohome?]

Pulp fiction being an 'average' movie is either hilarious or infuriating

Really looking forward to this series.

Fargo is definitely not a top 10 of all time movie. It's not even the Coen's best. But, it is also not an average movie by any means.

[grace2]

this is getting really good praise off the pilot episode. i'm going to tune in, i just hate that it's an hour and a half long.

They have so few misfires. Fargo would make the top five — No Country, Big Lebowski, O Brother, Fargo and ... Raising AZ? True Grit? Barton Fink?

[grace2]

1. big lebowski
2. fargo
3. no country for old men
4. burn after reading
5. true grit

i haven't seen o brother where art thou

I haven't seen the others. Excited for this FX series though

[Flip36]

loved the film, watch it often, looking forward to this!

[whygohome?]

If you guys haven't seen blood simple, check it out. It was the coen's first film and while not as good as several others it does have their style, in it's early form

[coldengrey12]

I haven't seen Blood Simple or Llewyn Davis. I think I've seen just about everything else they've done. I'd put Ladykillers at the bottom of the stack.

I'd agree with this but I'd definitely put Raising Arizona and Millers Crossing ahead of it as well. I'd never call Fargo a misfire, but top 10 of all time? I have it 6th just on the Coens top 10.


Only saw Inside Llewyn Davis once, really enjoyed it, don't know where it ranks after one viewing.

[whygohome?]

Raising Arizona is pretty much the only Nick Cage movie I like. He ruins movies for me usually but he's perfect as that character

[thebridge15]

con air?

[grace2]

well that was a pretty depressing first thirty minutes

Leaving Las Vegas and wild at heart I also liked a lot

[Climb2safety]

I'm a big fan of Blood Simple. Did not get into No Country at all though.

[grace2]

you should see adaptation whygohome, nick cage's best movie

[DMBzilla]

Well that was unexpected.

[jcc522]

As requested: My top 10. I casually thought of movies that I think are great and could watch all the time. All of them blow Fargo out of the water. First five are in no particular order.

The Shining
Forrest Gump
The Lion King
Shawshank Redemption
Saving Private Ryan
6. The Green Mile
7. Training Day
8. The Patriot
9. Silence of the Lambs
10. Tombstone

Bold don't come close to blowing Fargo out of the water.

[AlpineValley804]

I think The Patriot is terrible, but otherwise, that's not really that bad of a list.

I will strongly disagree with the statement that any of those blow Fargo out of the water though.

[Auzz76]

This is real damn crazy. I love it.

[scoot_14]

Loved that episode. Felt like watching a movie.

Also Moonstruck.

The thing with Cage is when the material is good and he turns it on, he can be great.

The problem is that isn't often. Given his resume, I bet he isn't the first choice for many of the movies he gets, but he takes them because the dude's gotta eat.

I also felt like he was a good Ghost Rider, given the material he had to work with. Still not a great movie, all told.

many people would argue saving private ryan, the green mile, forrest gump and the lion king blow fargo out of the water. at the very least it's not worthy

[gocubsgo3822]

Lion king is great. I recorded tonight. Any good?

Uhh I'll definitely give him private Ryan and Forrest Gump. I love Fargo but those two movies are easily better
