I was checking out the new season of Fargo, which made me want to rewatch the 1996 movie and I got to thinking, the Coen Brothers have a fantastic filmography. They have way more hits than misses and they make some of the most interesting movies out there. No Country for Old Men is probably one of my favorites of all time. So who's filmography do you celebrate the most?

Wes Anderson and Christopher Nolan. Their movies always are subject to debate, but every single one was stuck in my mind after seeing them.

With you on both. Although, I gotta be in the mood for Wes Anderson sometimes. I love his movies, but if I'm not in the mood, I find I don't enjoy them as much, even on rewatch.

Nolan is always amazing to me. Audio issues aside, I enjoyed Tenet more than most, as well.

Seriously, I loved Tenet! I had to watch it multiple times to finally understand how they moved through time relatively to the opposite side, what happened how, and it was fun and really well thought out. I loved this take on time travel!

Yes, you can understand the movie after watching it once. But there are so many little details that you won't get if you don't watch it multiple times, I had fun puzzling it together!

It's in my top three of the Nolan movies! And the music was great, I did not mind that it was too loud!

Yeah, I'm a cinematography and logistics nerd. I am fascinated by just how they do things in film a lot and Nolan is great for that.

And the music was great, I did not mind that it was too loud!

I think the big issue was the dialogue was too low a lot of the time.

Regarding the dialogue: on my second watch (with subtitles) in the (few) scenes I wasn't able to hear the dialogue clearly I realized it wasn't relevant/important to the story. I believe these scenes were only about atmosphere, that was the moment I did not mind anymore and just enjoyed the bombastic sound scape.

I searched by typing Tenet and found your comment.

The 1st time I viewed Tenet, I didn't think hard. I didn't get it. I disliked Tenet.

Many hours ago I thought I'd rewatch with more focus. I'd try to get everything. Based on Nolan's other flicks, he probably didn't write a dumb plot just for the $. I understood and appreciated Tenet. It's 👍 that Nolan didn't spoonfeed us by directing Tenet so it was easily understandable. I wouldn't get it if I didn't give it much focus. It's 👍 that Nolan directed flicks with bold concepts. Tenet was too complex for some, but I suggest that they rewatch with more focus. They can search for explanations on the Net too. No shame in that.

I look forward to Nolan's next.
