I've seen 46-47 of the list in a theater: Don't remember how I saw Election, and Exotica was definitely video. Close-Up I saw for the first time on film, but not until a few years ago, and Miller's Crossing I'd seen many times on video before finally seeing a film screening in 1998. Two of them I haven't seen at all,…

At the time, Hudsucker was preceded by tons of press about how the Coens had joined forces with Joel Silver to make their first big-budget (then about $25 million, laughably enough) "mainstream" movie, which it of course is emphatically not. It also allowed critics to get a lot of their "the Coens don't care…

It did receive a proper DVD release, although I gather it's out of print now. One of my favorite/least favorite commentaries as well, in that it mostly consists of Haynes, Vachon and Moore discussing at length, only a few years after the fact, how a movie like Safe could never get made then (and even moreso now).

Blue is clearly the best stand-alone film. I think Red accrues points for capping the trilogy as a whole, but you cannot beat Binoche's performance.

I haven't seen the raw numbers, but it seems pretty clear that the Coens split the vote somewhat: We all love their '90s output, but aren't quite in sync on which is the best film. Thus four films in the middle 20, which should be some kind of record.

That's just factually wrong. If you look at the first wave of Starship Troopers reviews, there are plenty that realized the movie had a satirical element (I called it "Triumph of the Will meets Melrose Place"). I don't think anyone halfway familiar with Verhoeven's previous movies, especially but not only Robocop,…
