You like Casino better than GoodFellas?

I did, actually. Just what Scorsese did to get that Vegas mood is...amazing. I've probably watched it like four times in the last month

I loved Casino as well, but it just felt like Goodfellas 2. Same actors, same director, same songs, similar situations, but in Vegas instead of NYC.

Did you see Raging Bull? Or Taxi Driver?

I have seen Taxi Driver, woulda helped screencap it iif it wasn't done when I joined up. Good movie, it's hard to go bad with DeNiro-age Scorsese. Though I haven't seen Raging Bull

I loved Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski, Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou?, No Country For Old Men, Burn After Reading, True Grit, and yes, even The Ladykillers. I didn't really get Barton Fink or The Hudsucker Proxy but they were watchable.

I've seen The Big Lebowski, Fargo, No Country for Old Men, and a Serious Man. The only issue I have with them is that they don't have a signature feel, or look, to their work. With a lot of movies, you can tell who directed just by the way the film looks or feels. I never got that from the Coen Brothers. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

They alway have the same dark dry humor in their films that give me the feel of a Coens movie
