Oh Brother, Where art thou.
SailorPunk:
o brother is probably one of my all time favorite movies, i can watch it over and over and over.
why are you telling our girls that i was hit by a train?
La Creme:
George Clooney = Odysseus
John Goodman = Cyclops
Daniel von Bargen (the sheriff) = Poseidon / Satan
His dog would therefore be Cerberus
Holly Hunter (Penny) = Penelope (Odysseys' wife)
Tommy Johnson (the blues guitarist [dunno the actor's name]) = The god of the East Wind, Eurus
Three Women on rocks = Sirens / Circe
The flood that destroys his house and such is synonomous with the great whirlpool, Charybdis
There's a couple others, but they're really minor and dont really help the story. For the last six times I've watched to find out who's supposed to represent Hermes, and I just can't figure it out.
Great movie, but the Big Lebowski wins for me. "Nobody fucks with the Jesus!"

Was looking into the soundtrack the other day because I love the movie, and found that Tommy Johnson was an actually guitarist and the character in the movie was based on him.

There's a short biography on him, with a few free samples of his work.
Gryff:
The Big Lebowski > all.

The Coens are neat!
The 6th Man:
I lived in Minnesota for a year and a half. Before moving, I saw Fargo and thought it was one of the worst movies ever. I then moved to the midwest, and everyone liked it and made it the ggrrrrreeeatest of all time. Im sorry, but if I was a cop, "funny looking" does not give me an accurate description to catch the guy. And yes, people DO talk like that out there. Thank god im back in cali.
Anywho: "Damn, we're in a tight spot!" In my top five favourite movies of all time.
