That's what it reads like to me too.
But, just in case non-participants can vote...
A Clockwork Orange (I'm in the Coen's are gods camp, but BF is my least favorite Coen film, and ACO is one of my all-time favorite films.)

Barton Fink -- that I have seen, best movie of the 90's, IMO.
A Clockwork Orange, like The Shining a perverse, patented Kubrick mind-fuck, is among the most morally-bankrupt films I have seen.

:eek: Wow Agee! It's been a long time since I've seen Barton Fink so maybe I shouldn't vote, but based on A Clockwork Orange being my 3rd fav Kubrick, and IMO, better than any of the Coen's films, I think I'm pretty safe in voting for it.

Nope, voting is open to everyone. What I meant in my earlier post that you quoted from was that if anyone else is interested in pitting their favorite flick against the Coens, I could run a sequel featuring nine new HTF picks.

If anyone is interested, let me know.

A Clockwork Orange
If the Coens are truly going up against "HTF Favorites" then where is 2001: A Space Odyssey?

The Coens stumble out of the starting gate as A Clockwork Orange wins 15 - 1.
Now they have to get around the Corleones. Methinks the Dude will soon be sleeping with the fishes...
Round 1 - Bracket 2
The Godfather vs. The Big Lebowski
Excluded from voting this match: Gabe D
Remember: you're voting for the film you prefer.
My vote goes to: The Big Lebowski
I should note that I'm not a big fan of either movie. If this were a best-film tourney, it'd be no contest: The Godfather.
