RE: Any Film Snobs Out There? Let's Start a Conversation About Arthouse, Indie film, Classical Movies and Documentaries
Oh hey, I got mentioned. ;) Thanks, Vincent! Yeah, I like reading your film posts. I'd like to explore indie cinema more, because that's where I'd like to be myself, but often I don't really know where to start. There are unfortunately a LOT of very bad indie films out there, but there are gold nuggets too.
I can enjoy blockbusters if the story is good, and I like more thoughtful, artistic movies that probably wouldn't qualify as art films exactly... Paul Thomas Anderson comes to mind. And what did you think of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs?
I liked Buster Scruggs! Not memorable like their other films but fun and worth a watch.

I enjoyed the majority of it stories, but also felt it was forgettable. In fact, I had forgotten about it already, after a month or so.
My favorite Coen Brothers' films are ( in chronological order): Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo, The Big Lebowski and No Country for Old Men.
I think I've watched every single Coen Brothers movie lol. Gotta admit that my favorite is probably The Ladykillers. XD
I found that one pretty disappointing, haha. I guess we can't always agree ;>)
But it's so funny XD
I guess we have a different taste in funny ;>)
Barton Fink is number one for me. And how could you leave out Blood Simple? "What I know about is Texas, and down heah, you're on your ownnnnn...."
Barton Fink is plain awesome! :>)
I enjoyed Blood simple. I vaguely remember watching it on the big screen, in the early 2000s. Since then I must have seen a couple of thousand other movies. In all honesty, I don't remember much of it, so I decided not to name it.
I didn't like it when I first saw it, but that was a late 90s VHS copy. (The VHS copy doesn't have the original music.) I saw it on disc and it seemed like a totally different film. It was their first break-out film.
I found it very good... and deeply sad. It's one of those movies you keep on thinking about long afterwards.
I will definitely watch it!

I felt the exact opposite ( scroll down for more info ) but it might just be the state of mind that we were in when watching :>)
Or aren't you talking about Buster S here?
The one about the actor with no arms and legs tho...
And the gold miner one.
And the one about the hanging...
Somewhat morbid but I still consider this black comedy.
I watched it at a good friend's place so I was feeling pretty positive overall :>)
I mainly meant to say though that the film didn't stay with me.
