As directors, brothers Joel and Ethan Coen are so inseparable they are sometimes referred to as the "Two-Headed Director."
In their early days, only Joel was listed as a director, but that was because of guild rules that didn't allow multiple directors to take credit for one movie. But both of them were doing the work.
Since making their feature directorial debut in 1984 with "Blood Simple," the Coen brothers have proved themselves to be among the greatest filmmakers Hollywood has seen.
Their diverse films show that few others can pivot so seamlessly between dark drama and screwball comedy. They take weird, niche ideas and find ways to bring them to a mainstream audience.
Their latest film, "Hail, Caesar!," out this weekend, boasts an all-star cast that includes George Clooney, Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum, and Jonah Hill. There's a reason that so many great actors always want to collaborate with them.
In honor of "Hail, Caesar!" we ranked all 17 of their films so far:
