The Coen's love love of film--especially old Hollywood films--permeates every frame. In addition, Ethan Coen creates some the most quotable dialogue to grace an audience's ears. Hudsucker is an inspired modern fairy tale reminiscent of Frank Capra's classic 'simpleton makes good' tales but fashioned with much more visual flair. If the Coen Bros decided to film the Periodic Table---I'd still enjoy it. These guys can do no wrong.

Citizen Kane for kids! "The Hudsucker Proxy" is ridiculous and chaotic in the best ways possible. A criminally underrated Coens flick, this is them giving into their wackiest impulses. In a perfect world, it would be an American classic. Leave it up to cinema's favorite brothers to get ME to like a Jennifer Jason Leigh performance! I never thought the day would come, but she's genuinely amazing in this movie.

For years and years this has been my number 1. It is also the most overlooked gem in the history of film....and gems. My space is limited so I will only say it is saturated with atmosphere and comedic perfection. Watch and cherish this amazing amazing film.
