Raising Arizona (1987)

Over 30 years ago I peed in my pants over this genius oddball comedy and I have to say it holds up every bit as well if not better now that I have aged. Just watched it with some who are half my age and they also peed in their pants.The Cohen brothers's style of camera work, editing and relentless dialogue is a a brilliant caricature of the highest order. All the characters are great and the absurdity of it all is very infectious. You will even be touched on occasion which is quite an achievement in such a crazy, yet brilliant romp. Still a strong top ten movie of all time for me!

This is the kind of movies I really like to watch from time to time, they won't overload your mind, won't demand lots of thinking, they are light on your heart, and will definitely make you chuckle and laugh, moreover they have a point, and Raising Arizona does just that. With Nicolas Cage in the lead, and the not-so-much-telling title, you gotta question what this movie has to deliver, but it did deliver quite some. It's a cool movie to watch with your friends trust me.7/10

Drama, comedy, thriller, fantasy, well acting, well scenario surprising.I am very surprised having watched that kind of a movie including some of the best actors on earth. It could easily be spoiled with some bad acting but surprisingly, everything goes well and the movie keeps its pace for 2 hours.Surprise final as well..As a father, it impressed me deeply by its end.Thank you Coen Brothers.

This film is excellent. The Cohen Bros put together a motley assortment of characters to form a spectacular cast. The premise of the film is wild and out of control, leading to the kookiest of hijinks that put the characters in a host of trouble all the way through.The theft of a baby to replace a barren womb sounds unfeasible to most, and indeed, the execution of, and results of said action are remarkably absurd. Lives become intertwined in the perilous events of the film, and the C. Bros are able to balance the ludicrous aspects of the film with somber, thoughtful dialogue and insightful philosophical musings from the characters, which makes the return to the wild action all the more hilarious.The C Bros have just begun in their careers, but already they have cemented their place in greatness with this spectacular Southern romp. It's sharp, fast-paced, and witty with insane chase scenes, nutty characters and just all out fun. Terrific film.
