From The Hudsucker Proxy to The Man Who Wasn't There, these are the most underrated movies directed by Joel and Ethan Coen.
Admittedly, it can be a little difficult to argue that many Coen Brothers movies genuinely count as underrated. Since rising to prominence as a writer/director duo to be reckoned with during the 1980s, Joel and Ethan Coen have continually made movies that are considered classics at best, and relatively interesting - and usually entertaining - partial misfires at worst. Just as there aren't many super underrated Coen Brothers movies, so too are there next-to-no genuinely bad ones.
It's a very silly and over-the-top blend of comedy and crime, and the first example of a great comedy written and directed by the pair. Raising Arizona focuses on a string of chaotic events that unfold after a kidnapping goes wrong, but even if it's centered around a crime, it's never grim or gritty, and instead is intent purely on providing laughs and a high level of energy throughout.
Beyond featuring Coen Brothers regular Frances McDormand, the cast also includes an excellent Billy Bob Thornton in the lead role, and a small but incredibly memorable turn by James Gandolfini, with the movie being released while The Sopranos was still on the air. The Man Who Wasn't There manages to do fresh and exciting things within the neo-noir genre, and as such, it's a movie that you should indeed be there for.
5 'Miller's Crossing' Miller's Crossing was one of many great crime movies all released - somewhat surprisingly - in the year 1990. As far as gangster movies set during Prohibition go, it can also count itself as one of the very best, telling a tense story that was also the most sprawling the Coen Brothers had attempted at this point in their careers, following various characters caught up in a violent gang war.
It's a modern-day update on the biblical Book of Job, which explicitly revolves around a man's faith in God being tested to the extreme, after he's put through hardship after hardship. A Serious Man does this to the hapless lead character played by Michael Stuhlbarg, who excels in the central role here.
