Fargo

The Coen Brothers come up with this black comedy which is probably their best film to date. William H. Macy plays a soft-spoken loser who stages a relatively innocent plot to kidnap his wife (so he can collect on ransom, paid exclusively by his father-in-law) but it escalates into complete chaos. Frances McDormand, in an Academy Award winning performance, plays the very pregnant policewoman who investigates this case. A remarkably well made film that is often-times hilarious.
