Raising Arizona [Blu-ray] [1987]

Had to own this one. Watch it on the regz. “I just love it so muu-uuch” (Photo: Me appreciating the baby is Max Bemis on the front cover)

Remembered this as a child and loved it ever since. Super original and Corky characters. Cage at an all time best!

For decades I have heard mixed reviews about this film. Friends and critics either thought it was hysterical, or it was stupid. I agree with both statements. This movie is hysterical because it is stupid, which is not an accident. Not all stupid movies are funny. The premise, the characters, and the dialogue are all purposely outrageous making this over-the-top melodrama a first rate comedy. Even though I watched it almost three decades too late, it was still one of the funniest comedies I have ever seen.

One my favorite comedies. There is not much funny today but the Coen bothers & the cast, Nicholas Cage, Holly Hunter & the rest the rest hit the nail on the head. I have enjoyed all of the Coen brothers films beginning with Blood Simple (unfunny). I hope they are still active,

This is one of those movies which you need to be a little older than fully get its message. It i a film about life and how sometimes we want more than we can handle. A lot of people don't like this film, but that's because they don't get it. This is one of the finest movies of the '80s and it is one of the Coen Brothers best pictures.

My husband bought this using his best buy account and reviewed it, then we had our accounts merged, and all his old purchases are showing up on MY review page, so I'm re-reviewing so-to-speak to get the points.

Raising Arizona is the only movie I ever wanted to see again immediately after I saw it in the theater. Nicolas Cage is a terrific hangdog semi-loser, and he delivers the Coens' sly dialog perfectly. I think Raising Arizona is better than The Big Lebowski and Fargo in its language and visuals.Think of Napoleon Dynamite crossed with Bonnie and Clyde. You will thank me for my recommendation!

The Cohen brothers most underrated film! I’m a huge fan of the duo while this isn’t my favorite of their works ( Fargo is the best in my opinion) but it is still great. Nic cage is excellent in this film so is everyone else. Raising Arizona is a wild and wacky ride that I would recommend to anyone
