The Coen Brothers put the cold in cold-blooded murder with their 1996 dark comedy Fargo. Set during a snowy Minnesota winter, the film stars Steve Buscemi, Peter Stormare, and William H. Macy as amateur criminals who bungle their way through a kidnapping. And Frances McDormand, with a memorable Midwestern accent, won an Oscar for her portrayal of the good-natured but unflappable Marge Gunderson.
