1. The Coen Brothers

There is no more confounding (yet rewarding) filmic career to follow than Joel and Ethan Coen. Their movies veer wildly in tone from comedy (Raising Arizona) to relentlessly dark western (No Country for Old Men).

There's no era or locale they won't explore: the old west (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs), 1950s Hollywood (Hail Caesar!), or prohibition-era urban America (Miller's Crossing).

They have a distinct visual and dialogue style, and their films veer from deeply personal (A Serious Man) to strangely cult popular (The Big Lebowski).

No single filmmaker, let alone pair of sibling filmmakers, has created so much exciting, unusual, and award-winning work in their careers.
