Yeah, right on! There are many moments in The Sopranos that have reminded me of Coen brothers' movies, especially Fargo and Miller's crossing. David Chase was definitely influenced by these films. After all, the Coens' speciality is to parody American movie genres using morons as the main characters. And there are a lot of morons in the Sopranos.
