Miller's whatnow?
My top five is always a constantly revolving list based on twenty or so of my favourite films and pinning it down is always a right bastard.

However, there's one film that is as enjoyable every time I sit down to watch it -
Miller's Crossing

I'd like to say that in terms of dialogue, cinematography, casting etc the Coens peaked with this one, but ignoring the double "eh?!" of Intolerable cruelty and The Ladykillers, they just keep cranking out the genius.

I won't waste space recommending specific bits and pieces; I doubt I could do it any kind of justice anyway, just know that if you're any kind of film fan it's pure gold from start to finish.

To quote Barry Sonnenfeld
"...A handsome film about men in hats..."
