They've not been on my mind lately.... in fact they're completely in the recesses of my mind in the last 3 years. Haven't seen their most recent 2 movies, but based on their past work I think ranking them #28 is a reasonable spot.

They are at their best in goofy comedy mode, or black comedy leaning that way. The more serious they get, the more boring they become.

not going to do a full ranking but I'm obsessed with some of their more recent films, particularly Llewyn Davis (all-time great), True Grit (their most sincere and moving film) and No Country. I'm also desperate to rewatch A Serious Man which I loved the first time I saw it and I know I'll love even more when I catch it again.
Two of my favorite directors ever. My hot take is that I don't care for some of their beloved classics like Barton, O Brother, Lebowski, Miller's Crossing and I could never explain why in a way that's consistent with how I feel about their other films. Some of it needs revisiting for sure, but whereas their 2010s weirdness appeals to me, their 90s weirdness historically hasn't.
Still need to watch a handful of their earlier films. And for some reason I never watched Man Who Wasn't There which is a big oversight. Blood Simple is great early shit, actually one of their best and foreshadowed their harder-nosed films to come, especially No Country.

1. O'Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) - One of my top fifteen favorite films of all-time. 2. Fargo (1996) - Masterpiece. It gets better with each viewing.
3. Burn After Reading (2008) 4. No Country for Old Men (2007) 5. True Grit (2010) 6. The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) 7. Raising Arizona (1986) 8. The Big Lebowski (1998) 9. A Serious Man (2009) 10. The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) - You know, for Kids
11. The Ladykillers (2004) 12. Intolerable Cruelty (2003) 13. Hail, Caesar! (2016)
14. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018) 15. The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) Not seen - Inside Llewyn Davis, Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink.
The first two are great, great films. 14 and 15, I admired the artistry, but found them to be boring. Sorry to offend.

If there's one director whose filmography I'd refuse to rank it's this two-deaded dragon... the consistency of quality that they've kept up through these many years (and titles) is insane.

O Brother, Where Art Thou and A Serious Man are the only ones I've yet to see. And since this is a ranking of Coen Brothers, I did NOT count The Tragedy of Macbeth.
