Ranking the Coen Brother's Films

So, I'm thinking that the order that someone ranks the Coen Brother's films in tells a lot about them. My current ranking is behind the cut. If you want to rank them prior to viewing mine they are listed below in alphabetical order. I'm still undecided about my top four.

Barton Fink (1991)
Big Lebowski, The (1998)
Blood Simple. (1984)
Fargo (1996)
Hudsucker Proxy, The (1994)
Intolerable Cruelty (2003)
Ladykillers, The (2004)
Man Who Wasn't There, The (2001)
Miller's Crossing (1990)
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
Raising Arizona (1987)


Here's my ranking.

1. Big Lebowski, The (1998)
2. Fargo (1996)
3. Miller's Crossing (1990)
4. Man Who Wasn't There, The (2001)
5. Hudsucker Proxy, The (1994)
6. Blood Simple. (1984)
7. Raising Arizona (1987)
8. Barton Fink (1991)
9. O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
10. Ladykillers, The (2004)
11. Intolerable Cruelty (2003)

FYI - I haven’t seen The Ladykillers or Intolerable Cruelty. But, they don't seem to appeal to me either; hence their low ranking.
