Some people love them, some people hate them, but as Ebert says, they always swing for the fences. Here's how the films from the Minnesotan brothers stack up.
I've rated the films from a zero (horrible!) to four (wonderful!) star scale, with the links going to my reviews. As usual, I've only included films I've seen.
We agree about the best of the Coens. Your top three are my top three.
