12. I've only seen Miller's Crossing once, years ago. Want to see it again.

Can't find it on Netflix or on demand for the life of me.

Obviously the common theme of TBOBS is death and mortality, which is a bit heavy.

Even if you didn't like it I might suggest a rewatch. Coen works have a way of sticking around and getting a lot better the longer you think about them.

The second time I watch it, I dug the last chapter--The Mortal Remains--a lot more than I did initially. When the Brendan Gleeson character sings his song and you see the three passengers faces slowly understand their "situation" it is a prime example of solid facial acting.
