A nice fellow at Salon was kind enough to include me in a loose survey of filmmakers and film writers who were asked to name their favorite Coen brothers film. My name is mispelled in the piece that resulted, but I am mostly in good company—Molly Haskell, James Toback, and Scott Burns are among those weighing in, and the answers make a fairly diverting read overall, should you be interested.

Coen heads
A nice fellow at Salon was kind enough to include me in a loose survey of filmmakers and film writers who were asked to name their favorite Coen brothers film. My name is mispelled in the piece that resulted, but I am mostly in good company—Molly Haskell, James Toback, and Scott Burns are among those weighing in, and the answers make a fairly diverting read overall, should you be interested.

I know this is ten days old, but I missed this somehow and still feel compelled to remind everyone... remember when Owen Gleiberman called O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? the worst movie of 2000?
Yeah.
@Zach - It was "I'm A Believer," but a cover version.
