If you’re a fan of the “Fargo” TV show but didn’t know the crime series is actually based on a 1996 Coen Brothers movie, now is as good a time as any to correct that oversight. Often cited as one of the Coen bro’s best efforts, it was nominated for seven Oscars, winning two (Best Actress for Frances McDormand and Best Original Screenplay). It offers up a darkly comedic tale of murder and criminal scheming in a way only the Coen Brothers can.Set across Minneapolis and the eponymous Fargo, North Dakota, Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) is a car salesman in quite the bind. Swimming in debt, he hires two bumbling thugs (Steven Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his own wife, assuming her wealthy father (Harve Presnell) will pay a hefty ransom. But when the scheme goes horribly wrong, pregnant police chief Marge Gunderson (McDormand) is called in to investigate.Rotten Tomatoes score: 95%Watch "Fargo" on Netflix now‘A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood’ (2019)
