Fargo (1996)
8/10
One of kind from 90s golden age

There really aren't any movies I can think of that are quite like Fargo. So uniquely written, acted and filmed. I love all the small details. I love the dialogue. I love how it not only captures the cold, but somehow captures the cold of the 80s (weird, right). I never tire of watching it. One of my favorites.

Almost a perfect 10 with two exceptions for me. One, yes, the Mike Yamakita scene. Feels like something important got left on the cutting room floor. And two, I always wonder why the father and Stan Grossman don't suspect Jerry is behind the kidnapping when he was already trying to get them to loan him 750k. Would have hardly seemed like a coincidence.

Anyway, one of the greats of that era. Per usual, the Coens get spectacular performances from everyone involved.
