🎬 COEN BROTHERS FILMS — CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER
1. Blood Simple
Dark, sweaty Texas noir. Crime, paranoia, fate.
The seed of everything.
2. Raising Arizona ✅
Cartoon chaos, love, diapers, Nicolas Cage unhinged.
Their first joy-bomb.
3. Miller’s Crossing
Elegant, brutal, Irish-Italian mob politics.
Loyalty vs. survival.
4. Barton Fink
Writer’s block, Hollywood hell, burning wallpaper.
Art vs. commerce.
5. The Hudsucker Proxy
Naïve optimism meets capitalism. Circles everywhere.
Goofy + cynical.
6. Fargo
Polite accents, extreme violence, moral clarity.
“And it’s a beautiful day.”

Chaos philosophy. Bowling. Nihilists.
Accidental scripture.

Homer in the Depression. Sirens. Bluegrass.
American myth remix.

Divorce warfare as sport.
Their lightest, slickest.

Cold, perfect terror.

Love letter + roast.

Why Raising Arizona matters
It’s where the Coens say:
🎭 Life is absurd.
❤️ Love is irrational.
🎯 Crime is funny until it isn’t.
Started with Raising Arizona and fell all in love with Coen Brothers rabbit holes🎥
Absurdity, fate, idiots, poetry, violence, love — all of it.
