Love this film and got to agree, those are the best moments to watch out for.
Fun fact about Fargo, it is rumored a Japanese woman went to America to look for missing money in Fargo after the start of the film said – “This. The events depicted in this film took place in Minnesota in 1987. At the request of the survivors, the names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred.” – She apparently spent alot of time and money searching and eventually showed up dead. The death was eventually ruled a suicide but it was never fully found out whether the suicide was because of the fact she spent what was left of her money looking for the money.
But anyway the film was kinda dull in my opinion.
This is great! For the past few years I’ve really been trying to watch as many classics as I can, even going to old black and whites like Some Like it Hot and Seven Samurai. This will be a lot of help in finding ones I’ve missed out on!
