The more I watch this movie the better it gets. I don't think I've ever seen a movie that gets me in a good mood like this one. I normally don't care for Clooney but he is great in it, as are Tuturro, Nelson, Goodman, Hunter, etc.

Very good movie...re-watchability is off the chart. That's when you know you have a good movie.

Delmar O'Donnell: The preacher says all my sins is warshed away, including that Piggly Wiggly I knocked over in Yazoo.
Ulysses Everett McGill: I thought you said you was innocent of those charges?
Delmar O'Donnell: Well I was lyin'. And the preacher says that that sin's been warshed away too. Neither God nor man's got nothin' on me now. C'mon in boys, the water is fine.

I could watch that scene all day, funny that we were at a Piggly Wiggly in Alabama last week, they really exist!

Piggly Wiggly is a grocery chain in the south like Kroger is here

I love that movie. Great soundtrack and an awesome riff on Homer's Odyssey.

And, as an added bonus, you have a large guy with an eyepatch who is a Klan member. Which ties in with the whole outrage created by Belly's comments a few weeks back.

Most all of the Cohen Brothers movies are great, this one included! I also just saw No Country For Old Men last week and thought it was very goos too. But just remember their best movie of all time THE BIG LEBOWSKI!

Great movie that never got as much acclaim as it probably deserved. Very well done in all aspects.

In the first 5 minutes of the movie, when they were trying to climb into the rail-car still chained together by leg chains and the last one to get in fell down hooked me on the movie. We've probably watched the movie 5 or 6 times.

"Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'? "

Whichever Coen wrote the dialogue (if not both) is ingenius.

Some of the great lines of this movie.

Everett - "Baptism! You two are just dumber than a bag of hammers!"

Pete: You miserable little snake! You stole from my kin!
Ulysses Everett McGill: Who was fixin' to betray us.
Pete: You didn't know that at the time.
Ulysses Everett McGill: So I borrowed it until I did know.
Pete: That don't make no sense!
Ulysses Everett McGill: Pete, it's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.

Pappy O'Daniel: Shake a leg Junior! Thank God your mammy died givin' birth. If she'd have seen you, she'd have died o' shame.

Ulysses Everett McGill: Deceitful, two-faced she-woman. Never trust a female Delmar, remember that one simple precept and your time with me will not have been ill spent.
Delmar O'Donnell: Ok, Everett.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Hit by a train! Truth means nothing to a woman, Delmar. Triumph of the subjective. You ever been with a woman?
Delmar O'Donnell: Well, I... I... I gotta get the family farm back before I can start thinking about that.
Ulysses Everett McGill: That's right, if then. Believe me Delmar, woman is the most fiendish instrument of torture ever devised to bedevil the days of man.
