    I know yall love Denzel in here but i thought American Gangster was kinda boring. My favorite Ridley Scott film is probably between Prometheus or Black Hawk Down.

    That said...

    Raising Arizona
    Millers Crossing
    Big Lebowski
    Burn After Reading
    Fargo
    No Country For Old Men

    ...are all better than those 2


    I even liked Oh Brother, and Inside Lewyn Davis

    Am a fan of both, but I seem to enjoy and appreciate the coens films more after repeated viewings. and yea the counselor was pretty bad. with the cast it had, it should've been a lot better than it was

    It comes down to who you feel has the best directing filmography.

    Ridley Scott for me. Easy. True Grit was great though. Other than that and Big Lebowski, never liked the Coen catalog.

    Lol i aint even know ridley scott made american gangster. Shame on me.

    I Like a good amount of scott's films, but I love a lot of Coen Bro's films

    Raising Arizona
    Big Lebowski
    Fargo
    O Brother where art thou
    A Serious Man
    No country for Old Men
    Burn After Reading

    all great films.

    Faves from Ridley are

    Aliens
    Gladiator
    American Gangster i guess

    and thats all i really care for. Seen others but not all of them. All the Coen bros movies i listed are prolly in my personal top 50 list. Big Lebowski is prolly in the top 10 somewhere if i actually sat down and wrote one out.

    Went Coen Bros...

    Alien & Blade Runner might be the only movies in Scott's filmography I would put over my fave Coen Bros films...

    Sad to say they have all fell off somewhat in recent years imo...

    Yo The Cohen Got Some Of My Favorite Movies Of The Last 25 Years....Blood Simple, Fargo, No Country For Old Men, Barton Fink, A Serious Man,

    On The Other Hand Ridley Got The Second Best Sci Fi Flick Ever (After 2001) In Blade Runner MUTHAFUCKIN BLADE RUNNER B!!...That ? Is Feast For The Eyes..And HE Got Alien To Boot...Not To Mention Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, Matchstick Men, American Gangster, And Even Thelma & Louise...If You Were To Tell One Director Helmed All These Movies I've Would've Punched You In The Mouth And Called You Liar...They're All So Different And Unique...Not Only Thematically But Also Style In Which They Are Filmed..Duke IS A Beast..He Got A Signature But Its Nowhere Near As Heavy Handed As Other Directors

    My Heart Tells Me The Cohens But My Brain Is Telling Me R.Scott

    Ultimately I'm Going With The 2 Jews From Minnesota.....I Have 2 Reasons...Fargo And No Country For Old Men...They Along With Goodfellas, The Godfather 1&2 And Shawshank Have The Most Replayability Of Any American Films I've Ever Seen....If Them ? Is On At 2 In Morning I'm Gonna Drop What I'm Doing And Watch Them...I Can't Really That Say That About Any Ridley Films..Not Saying Theyre Not As Good Just Saying I Have To Be In A Certain Mood To Watch Them

    I voted Coen Bros just because Ridley has more terrible movies than them. The Counselour like someone mentioned...
