From The Ladykillers to The Big Lebowski, these are the comedy movies directed by the Coen Brothers, ranked.
It should be said right away that The Coen Brothers include comedy in just about all of their movies, with their sense of humor oftentimes being very dark. Between 1984 and 2018, Joel and Ethan Coen directed a total of 18 feature films, with 11 of those being considered frequently funny enough to be tagged as comedies, according to Letterboxd. Their other films tend to emphasize crime, thriller, or drama genres more than comedy, though can still be quite humorous at times.
From there, chaos unfolds, and things go off in unusual, quirky, and sometimes even fantastical directions. Often, when the Coen Brothers get a little surreal, it's thrilling and fun, but not all the unusual touches here work, and the film can feel as though it drags at times. However, there are still enjoyable moments and strong visuals to appreciate, meaning that The Hudsucker Proxy is far from bad; just a slight misfire, by the high standards set by other Coen Brothers comedies.
Even for a Coen Brothers movie, it's very strange, and has a tone that feels hard to describe, beyond emphasizing that it's very much odd in a way that'll work for some viewers while frustrating others. But as a comedy, it certainly delivers a decent amount of the time, and boasts a seriously impressive cast that includes the likes of Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Ralph Fiennes, Scarlett Johansson, Frances McDormand, and Channing Tatum.
5 'A Serious Man' For those who've already watched Barton Fink and can't get enough darkly comedic and nightmarish misery with that distinct Coen Brothers flavor, A Serious Man has you covered. It takes place in the 1960s, and follows a family man who has to deal with misfortune after misfortune, with nothing signifying that his luck will turn around any time soon.
