Two questions in one : first who are your favorite filmmakers then what are your favorite movies for each one of them ?

 

 

Mine are :

Barton Fink

Blood Simple

Fargo

No Country for Old Men

The Big Lebowski

I also like the four other fims they made, O Brother Where Art Thou ?, The Hudsucker Proxy, Intolerable Cruelty and A Serious Man, but not as much as the other ones. I need to rewatch A Serious Man anyhow, only seen it once in theaters. And I sure will see True Git as soon as it's released.
