Fargo (1996) - Despite the Coen brothers being in my top 3 directors, and hearing a ton about it, I've never watched it. It was a hoot and a half! 9/10
So, first off the cast all did a great job. It was weird seeing William Macy and Steve Buscemi in the roles they had, but they fit. The movie did a great job with the humor sprinkled throughout and the deadpan style had me chuckling throughout. The story was compelling, and as usual I loved the filmography. I do feel like some could have been cut, like when Marge went to see Yanagita but overall it was a very tight experience. I question Jerry's plan on what his plan was, and how he thought it would all work from his mysterious borrowing 300,000 for cars that he didn't have to hiring the kidnappers.
Rankings for overall Coen brothers movies I've watched: No Country for Old Men > Fargo > Big Lebowski > The Ballad of Buster Scruggs > O Brother, Where Art Thou? > Hail, Caesar! > True Grit > A Serious Man
I also went ahead and watched Willys Wonderland since I was going to do that anyway. I wasn't going to talk about it, but since Snake did, I will too!
Willy's Wonderland - 8/10 It's pure dumb fun. I loved pretty much every minute of it. Like Snake said, it knew what it was and didn't try to be anything else. If you watched any trailers, the movie was basically that, but elongated. Nick Cage whoopin' ass and playin' pinball. It had some of the silliest gags I've seen in a while, and some quotes I'm definitely going to be using at somepoint like "Gorilla Greetings!"
I tried starting up 45 Years and just wasn't feeling it at the time... Maybe eventually!
