MC is very far above average.
I liked Intolerable Cruelty and Raizing Arizona quite a bit too. Fargo is justifably praised, one of those rare films that lives up to the hype after release. The Big Lebowski is pretty funny. Ladykillers and Barton Fink and O Brother Where Art Thou and the Hudsucker Proxy are average at best, IMO - meaning the Coen brothers deliver more often than not.
Blood Simple is a cult classic that might be worth checking out.
