Blood Simple

A dark comedy film noir. This film is great and shows a lot of early Coens potential. There's a lot of great cinematography and the cast is top-notch as usual for a Coens film. Surprisingly, there is a decent amount of horror type of shots. I'm not sure if those where intentional or just indicative of early film experience.

Raising Arizona

This is a weird film from the Coen's works that is maybe borderline dark comedy and theatrical circus. It still has some really fun camera work including the first-person motorcycle camera. A fun, quirky film in which Nick Cage manages to not annoy the viewer.
