Without a doubt this is my favorite film. The idea of a crime thriller set in a place as colloquial as Minnesota is film gold in of itstelf, but to have such a fine cast as William H. Macy, Frances McDormand and Steve Buscemi as well just takes Fargo to the next level. No wonder it picked up several oscars in 1996. The woodchipper scene is worth the money alone.

Undoubtedly, the greatest horror/thriller ever made. There isn't a single modern day horror film maker who can hold a candle to Hitchock for producing sheer mind numbing terror.
