Serious question. I'm working on a list of my favorite movies and wondering if I should add BARTON FINK. Here is my list, not in order and missing a lot, so far:

Monsters Ball
True Romance
Scarface
Road Warrior
Straw Dogs
The Warriors
One Flew Over The Cuckoo?s Nest
Requiem For A Dream
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Leaving Las Vegas
Bad Lieutenant
The Matrix
Goodfellas
The Godfather
Apocalypse Now
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket
Clock Work Orange
Silence Of The Lambs
Omega Man
Rollerball
The Exorcist
A Boy And His Dog
The Good Sheppard
Meet Joe Black
Forrest Gump
Raising Arizona
White Oleander
Mystic River
Unforgiven
Ordinary People
Being John Malkeovich

Feel free to remind me of something I might have missed. I missed a lot and some things probably shouldn't be there. Not ordering just yet. Some are just for kicks.

No... the Coen brothers have done better movies than Barton Fink.

They are playing the shit out of them this week on cable, RAISING ARIZONA, FARGO etc. Both those are better I agree. Not sure how I feel about NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, but they stuck to the novel. Loved BLOOD SIMPLE, one of their first.

I like it but not sure if I would put it on my best ever list.

I liked it when i saw it but when i tried to watch it again a few years latter I thought it wasn't that good. Than again most movies are like that

Lynch! Do I have BLUE VELVET on that list. That should be on that list! Also ROLLERBALL is the original of course. And I should probably add SYNDOCHE, NY

I loved Barton Fink, but I think there's other movies in their canon that deserve more attention -- namely Oh, Brother!
