hat s your favorite movie? I m asked often, usually a few drinks into a discursive barroom conversation, and I ve always had a tough time answering. But the older I get, the more confident I ve become in my choice: Joel and Ethan Coen s Fargo, a 1996 black comedy about a string of increasingly bizarre crimes that leaves a trail of dead bodies scattered between Minnesota and North Dakota. The film was released 25 years ago this week, and it hasn t aged a day. It was a critical smash upon its release, with both Siskel and Ebert naming it the best film of 96, and it eventually won two Oscars (for its screenplay and for Frances McDormand s lead performance), was preserved by the Library of Congress and inspired a beloved TV spinoff.
