#8: Fargo
The Coen Brothers’ Fargo spins a darkly funny crime tale in snowy Minnesota, where a botched kidnapping spirals into chaos. Frances McDormand’s pregnant cop navigates the mess with folksy charm and sharp instincts that cut through the absurdity.
Its quirky dialogue, eccentric characters, and “true story” claim (wink) make it a masterclass in blending comedy with crime that feels oddly heartwarming.
