No discussion of the Coen brothers can be complete without at least mentioning "O Brother, Where Art Thou."
If you don't get that movie, you probably didn't watch it with the subtitles on. It is pure genius, and is by far George Clooney's finest hour. |

I don't get why Mars Attacks never shows up on these lists. I thought that was pretty damn funny.

Mars Attacks was hilarious. I need to watch that again. Wasn't it the music of Hank Williams that saved the world?
Favorite line: "Thanks for saving the world and stuff." |

I loved the scene in the desert when the peacenics released the peace dove and spooked the martians into massacering the president's delegation. Also, the scene where the French president called the American president to announce he'd signed a peace treaty with the martians and the American president screamed, "Run!" Overall, the thoroughy ignoble nature of the martians and the humans' slowness in realizing that was very funny.
