Fargo

Multiple homicides may not be an everyday occurrence in Brainerd, Minnesota, but that's no reason to get all excited. Saying volumes with a "yep" or a "nope," unflappable pregnant cop Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) gets down to business in this darkly hilarious tale of money, murder, and snow – lots and lots of snow. The Coen brothers' electric storytelling skills paired with spectacular performances from McDormand, William H. Macy and Steve Buscemi make this one a modern classic.
