William H Macey was the ringer in this movie. Playing a nondescript coward who would do anything to better his status in a small society. WHM made this great blend of actors and twin-city perceived logic, into a something unforgettable. A birdseye view into prevailing middle America life.

Just rewatched it (Amazon rental is great); a truly different and ground breaking movie.

I love that film, one of my favourites too. It's the Cohen brothers film I like the best. So many aspects to it. The first time I saw it I watched it as a thriller ("based on a true story" ), only on subsequent watchings appreciated the humour. I think it's a great black (very black!) comedy and the cast is fabulous. The interview with the Cohen brothers on the DVD made me appreciate even more how clever they were.

I see Fargo - one of the all time great films - is rereleased today (25th anniversary). Please, if you never saw it, do. Apart from being highly original it was the first time I saw the legend that is now Frances McDormand. I believe she then married one of the Coen brothers. Oops no that was after Blood Simple - another brilliant movie.
