Frances McDormand and Joel Coen have made several movies together over the course of their careers, and some of them are better than others.
Frances McDormand and Joel Coen have worked on several movies together throughout their respective careers, and the married couple's creative output together has varied in quality. The pair work excellently together, as McDormand is among the few actresses that fully understand Joel and Ethan Coen's sharp and witty sense of humor, bringing the brothers' movies alive with just the right amount of eccentricity and bold acting choices.
8 Burn After Reading Burn After Reading features one of Frances McDormand’s funniest and wittiest performances ever, as her character becomes the unlucky woman who finds herself in possession of CIA secrets that she then attempts to sell to various mysterious sources. It’s a hilarious comedy of errors, proving just how entertaining failure can be in the right context.
6 Barton Fink Barton Fink’s complicated ending might lower its favor among many viewers, but that doesn't prevent it from being one of the Coens’ smartest and most innovative screenplays. The movie follows the exciting life of John Turturro’s title character, a New York playwright brought out to write scripts for a large Hollywood studio. Frances McDormand has an uncredited and barely identifiable role as a stage actress.
3 The Tragedy of Macbeth This modern Shakespeare adaptation marked Joel Coen’s first project without the cooperation of his brother, but it’s one of his strongest movies. It’s a stylish and visionary retelling of Macbeth using bold visuals and powerful performances that make it stand out in a crowded genre. Denzel Washington received an Oscar nomination for his performance as Macbeth alongside recognition for the movie's cinematography and production design.
