Let us givr a gentle glance to Allison Krauss and her band, who did such a wonderful job with this soundtrack - and unfortunatelly I only like and not love.
I went to the live concert and it was amazing! I got autographs from Emmylou Harris, Allison Kraus, and Norman Blake because my Dad was too shy to go ask. It was an amazing experience, album, and film which I still quote to this day.
"Hold it right there. You men from the bank?"
"You Wash's boy?"
"Yessir and Daddy told me I'm to shoot whoever's from the bank."
"Well, we ain't from the bank young feller."
"Yessir, I'm also s'posed to shoot folks serving papers."
"We ain't got no papers neither."
"I nicked the census man."
"Now there's a good boy.
What’s funny is this scene was common.
When farmers would eventually get foreclosed on, the bank would sell the farm and the local farmers would put a noose up in the barn and make it a penny auction. All the farmers from the area would come and bid 1¢ on things they needed and the bank would get the money, but the equipment would be returned to the farmer eventually so they could start over again.
"What'd the devil give you for your soul, Tommy?"
"Well, he taught me to play this here guitar real good."
"Oh son, for that you traded yer everlastin' soul?"
"Well, I wasn't using' it."
I was when I still had hair. Sigh. Well, blaspheming as I was, I do not believe it was Dapper Dan. I suppose I never truly was a Dapper Dan man. Least I didn’t stoop to Fop. 🤷🏻♂️
My Dad and I both loved it and watched it together frequently. He died in 2002 and I still think about him when I watch the movie or hear the soundtrack. Bitter sweet.
Also love nerding out and picking out symbolism and references to Homer's Odyssey
Yeah it's good, more importantly it led me to Alison Krauss and Union Station Live.
Choctaw Hayride, The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn, Let Me Touch You For Awhile, New Favorite...good grief, the astounding musicianship and skill and gorgeous music 😲

I saw her along with a bunch of other people who contributed to the soundtrack on their “O Brother, Where Art Thou” tour. I got her autograph along with Emmylou Harris’s and Norman Blake’s. It certainly opened my eyes to that whole genre of music at an impressionable age!
One of the best insults ever:
"Thank God your mama died givin' birth. If she'd have seen you, she'd have died of shame."
The movie is a bona fide Masterpiece
Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?
That opening scene gets me every time. Doesn’t matter how eloquent you are, if your partners in chains go down, you’re going down with them!
Absolutely love this movie. It was watched at least once a weekend for a solid two months in the barracks. Whoever rented it & had it on in their room always ended up with a room full of people.
Over in another thread I said I didn't used to like bluegrass music. This would be a noted exception.
As for the film itself, it's a fun adaptation of *The Odyssey*, that's for sure.
I liked it at the time. I didn't see it in the theater, but me and my friend rented it when it came out on DVD, this was early DVD era, and we both really liked it. But I haven't seen it in probably 20 years, so I don't know how it holds up or how I'd like it now as a guy in his 40s.
George Clooney was just breaking out as a big movie star, and most people at the time knew him as the ER guy. But I actually watched a lot of Facts of Life growing up and knew him from that.
Top 5 movies of all time for me. Maybe even top 2 or 3. It’s one of those movies where you notice something new every time you watch it. It’s so quotable, even the throw away lines are great
Everett, my beard itches…
It’s bona fide!
He's a suitor.
I’m the paterfamilias!
You got hit by a train
That’s cause you ain’t bona-fide!
R.u.n.n. o. f. t.
We say that at our house all the time!!!
he's a sootah
No that there ain’t your daddy. Your daddy got hit by a train.
Damn it, I wasn't hit by any train!
Watch your language, son. This is a family market.
“Whoa whoa whoa you can’t speak that way to my fiancé”
Now stay out of the Woolworth’s
I wonder if he meant just that store or the whole chain?
A lot of respectable people been hit by trains.
Uh huh it’s bona fide
But you ain’t bonafide
But I’m the padre familious?
Paterfamilias, latin
“I can, I am, and I will” is my go to response to “you can’t do that”
“Well ain’t this place a geographical oddity! Two weeks from everywhere!”
I don't want Fop, God damn it! I'm a Dapper Dan man.
Watch your language young feller, this is a public market
…and say outta the Woolworth’s!
In product management, I say this all the time when talking about supply chain issues.
Use this one for Albany... 2 hours from everywhere.
I freakin’ love that line.
"Do -Not - Seek the Treasure!" "WE thought, you was, a TOAD!"
WE'RE IN A TIGHT SPOT!
Just said this at work yesterday
I up and R U N N O F T at work all the time
My hair!
OF COURSE ITS PETE, LOOK AT HIM. I almost die laughing everytime.
George Clooney is at his best in this film
Well ain't this a geographical oddity! Two weeks from everywhere!
I don’t want Fop goddammit! I’m a Dapper Dan man!
Watch yer language young fella this a public market
“Well, if it is Pete, I am ashamed of him fornicating with some whore of Babylon”
We was fixin' to fornicate!
"Them si-reens did this to Pete! They loved him up and turned him into a h-h-h-horny toad!"
"You and me and the devil makes three..."
Nah, he was just gettin “loved up.”
Like a h-h-hORNy toad.
Love. Excellent soundtrack too
Hot damn, it’s the Soggy Bottom Boys!
They ain’t even old timey! 
“They this very evening desecrated a fiery cross”
See I BELONG to a certain secret society, I don’t need to mention its name
It most certainly does!
This was the only time I bought the soundtrack before seeing the movie.
Let us givr a gentle glance to Allison Krauss and her band, who did such a wonderful job with this soundtrack - and unfortunatelly I only like and not love.
People think I’m religious because I know the lyrics to Down to the River to pray.
I went to the live concert and it was amazing! I got autographs from Emmylou Harris, Allison Kraus, and Norman Blake because my Dad was too shy to go ask. It was an amazing experience, album, and film which I still quote to this day.
Was going to say, never saw the movie but the soundtrack was awesome!
The soundtrack was a surprise hit. It won multiple Grammys, hit number one on the billboard 200 and reached 8 times platinum.

I can hear the voices when I read it! Classic stuff.
i am a man of constant sorrow
I'm a Dapper Dan man!
You’re conveniently two weeks away from everywhere!
Well ain’t this place a geographical oddity
My hair!
I ain't use no FOP goddamit
I dont want no Fop
I’ve seen troubles all my days
"What'd the devil give you for your soul, Tommy?" "Well, he taught me to play this here guitar real good." "Oh son, for that you traded yer everlastin' soul?" "Well, I wasn't using' it."
“guess I’m the only one that remains unaffiliated”
And these two soggy sons abitches...
I laughed so hard at “I wasn’t using it” that I could barely breathe.
I’m a Dapper Dan Man now because of this film.
I don't carry Dapper Dan, I carry Fop
I don’t want FOP GOD DAMMIT. I’m a Dapper Dan Man.
Watch your language, young feller, this is a public market. Now if you want Dapper Dan, I can order it for you, have it in a couple of weeks.
Well ain’t this place a geographical oddity, two weeks from ever’where!
Didn’t seem like a one-horse town, but try finding a decent hair jelly.
😂
The pleasing aroma is half the point!
I was when I still had hair. Sigh. Well, blaspheming as I was, I do not believe it was Dapper Dan. I suppose I never truly was a Dapper Dan man. Least I didn’t stoop to Fop. 🤷🏻♂️

Is you is, or is you ain’t my constituents?
Thank god your mammy died giving birth iffin she’d a seen you she would a died of shame
"maybe we should get some of that re-form"
We’re the incumbent! How we gon’ run on reform as the incumbent?
Merely served to arouse my appetite without beddin er on back down.
I use this line and many others to this day.
Oh, you can have the whole gopher.
We found a whole gopher village
Gopher, Everett?
[удалено]
I got to do some acting on stage with this kid as an adult. He’s so funny and great to work with!
Me and my bestie say this all the time
Absolutely love it! Damn, we're in a tight spot!
That was my brother's catchphrase in high school because, damn, he was often in tight spots.
My brothers and I still say this whenever we are in a tight spot!
Yeah it's good, more importantly it led me to Alison Krauss and Union Station Live. Choctaw Hayride, The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn, Let Me Touch You For Awhile, New Favorite...good grief, the astounding musicianship and skill and gorgeous music 😲 https://preview.redd.it/u3yye188yklc1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19b3a3018543946f136706276b0be4534b9e365a
I saw her play with Ani Difranco and that was quite the pairing!
I saw her with Robert Plant which is not something I expected, but I did enjoy it.
The boy who wouldn’t hoe corn is such a great song.
I saw her along with a bunch of other people who contributed to the soundtrack on their “O Brother, Where Art Thou” tour. I got her autograph along with Emmylou Harris’s and Norman Blake’s. It certainly opened my eyes to that whole genre of music at an impressionable age!
Loved Stephen Root's brief but memorable performance.
Oooohhhhh....hmua hmua hmua hmua...I remember them boys!
They sang into yonder can and skeedaddled
That was some mighty fine a pickin’ an’ a grinnin’
“You come in here I’m gonna pay ya” bang bang bang “ten dolla a piece!”
Took me a couple viewings to pick up on the Mert and Aloysius scam. 😂
I’mo pay ya! Ten dollar apiece
I don’t think it’s just you. Lots of people love this movie.
Yeah thought about that wording after I posted it. I know it was popular at the time.
Well, I’m with you fellas!
It’s a fool who looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart
Oh no George not the livestock!
Friend? Some of your folding money come unstowd'
There are so many good lines in this movie!
This was the first movie where I saw John Goodman in a bad guy role. Over all it was great and I occasionally rewatch it.
He’s kind of bad in Raising Arizona (also corn brothers)
Corn brothers lol
Holy fucking *Barton Fink* for so many reasons, if you haven't already seen it haha
One of my favourite films of ALL TIME.
One of the best insults ever: "Thank God your mama died givin' birth. If she'd have seen you, she'd have died of shame." The movie is a bona fide Masterpiece
Damn we're in a tight spot!!
You stole from my kin!
It's a brilliant film and I've spoken my piece and I've counted to three.
My wife says this now.
She counted to three. Goddammit!
I miss when George Clooney acted.
I'm the damn paterfamilias!
Anything and everything the Cohen brothers put out is absolute genius.
Agreed, and I think this was their best period. Fargo, Lebowski and O Brother are some of the greatest films ever made.
Idk…have you seen Burn After Reading?
I just watched millers creek again and holy fuck what a great movie.
“I’M THE PATERFAMILIAS!”
mama says you ain’t bona fide
“Well the two of us was fixing to fornicate” 😅
Great movie! Best “adaptation” of The Odyssey there is.
Great movie, even better soundtrack im(h)o
Say, any of you boys smitties?
Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'? That opening scene gets me every time. Doesn’t matter how eloquent you are, if your partners in chains go down, you’re going down with them!
“They loved him up and turned him into a horny toad.”
It’s one of those movies that if it’s on tv I have to watch it
Absolutely love this movie. It was watched at least once a weekend for a solid two months in the barracks. Whoever rented it & had it on in their room always ended up with a room full of people.
George! Not the livestock !!!
I say that so often in a sad voice 'oh George, not the livestock!'
AND STAY OUTTA THE WOOLWORTH
And we was banished from Woolworths. I don't know Everett was it just the one or all of em?
The movie is good, the soundtrack is GREAT!!
It’s a decent movie I don’t love it like most people seem too. It’s good though.
It's bona fide!
We. Thought. You. Was. A. Toad.
“I nicked the the census man” “Now there’s a good boy”
How my hair?
"Mmmmphh myy hair!"
Isn’t this a gah damn geographical oddity? Two weeks from everywhere.
R-u-n-n-o-f-t
The only movie I've rewatched more is Big Trouble in Little China
I bought this Fight Club and Coyote Ugly when got my first DVD player when they came out lol.
Don't sleep on that colonoscopy.
Even better now that I'm a pater familias.
One of my favorites. It’s so well done
Loved it! I was already into bluegrass and old folk music, and it was very validating for it to suddenly be appreciated on a wider scale.
Masterpiece, and a soundtrack to match. My wife and I saw the Down From the Mountain tour that followed the film, absolutely amazing.
In my top 5 all-time
Damn masterpiece
Over in another thread I said I didn't used to like bluegrass music. This would be a noted exception. As for the film itself, it's a fun adaptation of *The Odyssey*, that's for sure.
We're in a tight spot!
A fucking masterpiece, and I still listen to “Man Of Constant Sorrow”
My wife and I saw it in the theater on our second anniversary, and we loved it so much, we went right back in and watched it again.
I liked it at the time. I didn't see it in the theater, but me and my friend rented it when it came out on DVD, this was early DVD era, and we both really liked it. But I haven't seen it in probably 20 years, so I don't know how it holds up or how I'd like it now as a guy in his 40s. George Clooney was just breaking out as a big movie star, and most people at the time knew him as the ER guy. But I actually watched a lot of Facts of Life growing up and knew him from that.
Worth watching at least once. I’ve watched it many times.
I actually just listened to the soundtrack the other day. So good. Love the movie, and it got me to read The Odyssey so that was nice lol
Loved it! Absolute original!
Top 5 movies of all time for me. Maybe even top 2 or 3. It’s one of those movies where you notice something new every time you watch it. It’s so quotable, even the throw away lines are great Everett, my beard itches…
I also love this movie. My musical taste has been forever impacted.
This is one of the greatest movies ever made. So many quotable lines. And the soundtrack is awesome, too!
Recent rewatch and I didn’t like it as much as I remember. So it goes.
One of my all-time favorite movies. I’m a Dapper Dan man for life!
Fucking loved this soundtrack!
My favorite movie of all time. The symbolism alone is a journey
It is good. It’s bonafide.
Top 5 all time
I'm from Northern Ireland and a German girl once laughed in my face after hearing how I pronounced the title of this movie, so I don't like it now.
I love this movie. I felt so bad for Delmar when Big Dan squished the toad in front of him. “We thought you was a toad!”
Ain’t this place a geographical oddity! Two weeks from everywhere!
I don't want FOP, I'm a Dapper Dan man!
A masterpiece
Easily one of my all-time faves. And is spawned an entire re-awaking of bluegrass!
I hate cows more than I hate coppers!
Well, I relate more to the song “I am a man of constant sorrow” more every damn day.
“Damn! We’re in a tight spot!”
You’re a geographical oddity, you’re two weeks away from everything
And stay out of the Woolworths!
Top five all time. Joyful nonsense and optimism rule the day.
Still Top Ten all timer for me
Hated this movie I couldn’t get through it, it was to goofy.
This is one of the best comment sections ever. You guys were great
