Ranking The Coen Brothers Movies From Worst To Best

The Coens have a penchant for trying to poke fun at the various nooks and crannies of Hollywood and the film industry as a whole, Barton Fink is certainly their finest effort at executing this. The film focuses on a critically acclaimed playwright who is brought to Hollywood to struggle as a screenwriter.

The film is one of the Coens oddest tales (and that is saying something) but it is also one of their best. John Turturro is expectantly spectacular as the eponymous Barton Fink and is brilliantly backed by the likes of Steve Buscemi, John Goodman and a fantastically out of character turn from the late John Moloney.

Barton Fink is a funny, unique and occasionally deeply emotional film that gets the Coens particular recipe for success just right. It is brilliantly acted, fantastically written and features some of the Coens most memorable characters. The film peaks with one of the Coens most striking scenes with John Goodman that lives long in the memory. Barton Fink is a thrill from start till finish and a truly unique film in true Coen fashion.
