O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Always with something interesting to offer, the Coen brothers deliver a fun and genre-defying comedy, with some effective dramatic twists, following three inmates who escape from a Southern prison and, on the run, decide to earn money by recording a song that becomes a huge hit. Standout performance from the charming Clooney, who shows his talent for both comedy (he won the Golden Globe for Best Actor) and music (the film's soundtrack also became hugely popular).
