2008: I say we can the runners up.

Runners Up

31. Barton Fink (IMDb) – The Coen Brothers return to the list two years in a row with their descent into the farce of 1940’s Hollywood.  Fink (played to perfection by John Turturro) is an artistic playwright from New York who finds himself in Hollywood writing a Wrestling picture for an out-of-touch studio head who seems to think he’s the king of all writers.  As with any Coen Brothers film, it takes fascinating turns into murder and gore while still remaining completely hilarious and fun for the whole (read: most) family.
