The Coens are probably my favorite filmmakers, with True Grit being my favorite of theirs. It has an amazing cast, sublime landscapes, and an incredible revenge/coming-of-age narrative in which all the characters have believable motivations and clever dialogue.
It’s hard to pick, but what do you think?
I would have loved to have seen the one that never happened. Not quite sure what the problem was:

“In the fall of 2012, however, Chabon told Mother Jones that “the Coen brothers wrote a draft of a script and then they seemed to move on,” and that the film rights had “lapsed back to me.”[23]”
