I know this is an unusual statement

But I actually preferred "Burn After Reading" to "No Country For Old Men".

Not that I disliked "No Country", but "Burn After Reading" was a hell of a lot more fun.

Hudsucker Proxy is probably the only one that doesn't feel lightweight to me.

It's The Hudsucker Proxy that's my favourite though - it's fantastically well put together, and I love the feeling of magic and humour to it. Not very deep though.

Well, Hudsucker is an imaginary reality anyway, that of 50s corporate America.

Have you seen Blood Simple or Miller's Crossing - probably my two favourite Coen brothers films, though I will always prefer Sam Raimi...

Early Coen Bros is still on my to-watch list. One of these days...

I like bits of Sam Raimi, and I enjoyed Drag Me To Hell, but his plots tend to be simplistic or downright rubbish (see Spiderman, for instance - I disliked all three movies, with the second being the least dislikable).

Have you seen A Simple Plan? It's reminiscent of Fargo, but is more serious and doesn't purport to be a true story.

Also on my to-watch list!
