Brothers Joel and Ethan Coen are among the greatest filmmakers of the past 50 years, and almost all of the 18 films they’ve made together could go on a list of their best work. The Coens have won Oscars and have directed actors to Oscar wins of their own, and the Coen brothers' films frequently end up on lists of the best and most influential films of the past several decades.
