18The Hudsucker Proxy (1994)

The Birth Of Hulahoop

A glorious thirties-style montage (the stamp-bearing hands, the stickers) charting the rise of the Hula Hoop ("You know, for kids") as invented by Tim Robbins' small town dope in the big city, Norville Barnes.

Are you insane? 25 Coen moments and no sign of the Danny Boy scene from Miller's Crossing? Unbelievable.

Are you insane? 25 moments from the Coen Brothers and the Danny Boy scene from Miller's Crossing isn't in it? Unbelievable.

Fall in love with the Dude every time I lay eyes on him. (and Donny)

I couldn't pick a clip from the Big Lebowski if you paid me. I'm off to watch it again now!

Actually all the Coen Bros films are wonderful. How do you chose? Glad to see Oh Brother and Raising Arizona, oh and Fargo and Hudsucker Proxy, brilliant!

When you run these sort of things, do you let a Coen Bros fan, who has seen all the films over the years, pick the clips - or do you get someone/anyone watch all the films and pick the clips in one go? Just interested.
