Funny, I just saw "O Brother" for the first time this past weekend; it was a hoot, and the soundtrack was great (in fact, my husband bought it some time back, but it's gone missing in the black hole that is our home....). Bluegrass has been my dad's favourite musical genre forever (he always called it "hillbilly music"), and I never hear "The Big Rock Candy Mountain" without thinking of him.

I don't think they missed one cliche in making this movie, but it was done so affectionately that you weren't laughing with these people rather than at them. Some of the actors were just too amazing---where did they FIND some of them?! I've had more than one good laugh the past couple days recalling it; well worth a re-viewing!
