O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Watching a favorite movie for the first time is often an experience one remembers. For me, this was true for O Brother, Where Art Thou to an extreme. This film is about a band of escaped convicts on the search for a treasure that their leader, Everett, had buried before getting arrested by the state of Mississippi. I first watched this film on a road trip to New Orleans, and we were driving through Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi, when we watched this on the bus. Many of the themes from the movie spilled out into our trip, and the soundtrack was replayed in actual settings over and over again.
Of course, this film is also amazing for its actual merit and intelligence. Written by the Coen brothers, it has added itself to the list of classics because of its real portrayal of the south during the depression, its parallel to Homers epic poem The Odyssey, and, of course, its humor.
