There are two things that really stood out for me with Barton. 1. The Bell. It just rings on forever. (Being an editor, I love that kind of shtuff.) 2. Seeing John Goodman as an evil character. He has always bee nice people and to see him get that raw was a great step out of the ordinary. Then Oh brother comes along and you think he might be an alright guy and then wham. Oh...And then he throws the frog against the tree.  :laugh2:

Coen brothers are the kings of off the wall, killer dialogs.

And the girls by the river...  :dizzy:

2- O Brother, Where Art Thou?
3- Evil Dead 2
4- Das Boot
5- Chicken Run

These types of lists are so difficult.  I could easily replace the list with five different movies and feel that it was still perfectly accurate.  Hell, Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs could be sitting up in Pulp Fiction's spot.  Miller's Crossing, Fargo, Barton Fink, Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, The Man Who Wasn't There -- nearly any Coen Bros. film could be sitting in slot 2.  Evil Dead is great for entirely unconventional, and possibly illegitimate reasons.  And there are probably dozens of movies I liked as much or more than Das Boot and Chicken Run, but those are bloody fantastic, brilliant films that came to mind, so there they are.

How could I forget about "O Brother"?  That was a good'un.

It just went and R-U-N-N-O-F-T

I also thought that the behind the scenes of 12 monkeys is one of the best behind the scenes features. LOTR had a nice set of BTS too, but the 12 Monkeys set let you feel the agony of his film making.

As in my list, have you seen the BTS for Labyrinth? If not, go get a dvd copy and watch it. You will gain a whole new appreciation for the work of Jim Henson. The guy was a master of his craft. We missed out on alot of great stuff when he died.

sez:
1.  Antonia's Line
2.  Shawshank Redemption
3.  Bachelor Party
4.  Field of Dreams
5.  Starship Troopers

I totally left The Big Lebowski off my Coen list.  That's a crime.
