It's really close, but I think No Country for Old Men. If it wasn't for Javier Bardem it'd be Raising Arizona easily.

No Country for Old Men: 4
Raising Arizona: 1

It's actually probably a tie between Fargo and The Big Lebowski. I just like The Dude.

Fargo/No Country/Big Lebowski are all my favourites, I think Fargo is the best one they've done though. I didn't 'get' the Big Lebowski the first time I watched it, mainly due to high expectations. You know when you're watching a film and you think hmm okay. I thought it was a bit weird at first (which was the whole idea. duh) then bits from the film resonate with you and make you laugh hours after you've seen the film.



Like that.

I had a similar thing, though I saw the Big Lebowski when I was 9 or so so that might have affected my judgement. And yes, John Turturro was the best part of the whole movie. Or at least up there.

The Dude reminded me of a creepy paedophile I used to know as well... So that's never good.

MAKE THE BAD MAN STOP! MAKE THE BAD MAN STOP!

But no, really. Paedophile. Looks just like him! Same hair and clothes and everything.

I didn't understand why The Dude was such a loved character, because of the guy I knew who looked just like him. But I managed to get past that, it's truly one of the funniest films ever.

I really like the Dude (cause that's not obvious). He didn't seem like a pedophile to me. At least not as much as this guy:

Very insightful post there:

I didn't think he was a loveable character because he reminded me of the local paedophile, I admit I didn't get the whole thing the first time I watched it, it's a film that really stuck in my head as I kept remembering bits from it, and it's a genuinely funny film.

Do everyone a favour and remove your head from your arse.
