6. Barton Fink
7. Intolerable Cruelty
8. The Ladykillers
9. O Brother Where Art Thou
10. Blood Simple
11. The Big Lebowski
Incidentally, Triumph responded to that with:

The Big Lebowski #11?

Fargo is the only Coen Bros movie I've really liked.

The Big Lebowski started off good, but just went sprawling and was never able to come together at the end. The screenplay is seriously flawed.

who gives a f about lebowski, it wasn't that funny. the more important question is, where's the love for blood simple? it's merely one of the best american crime films of the past 25 years.

Seriously, it's one thing to not love the Big Lebowski and put it in the top 10 comedies of all time.

It doesn't make you cool and intellectual, it just makes you lame and pretentious.
