John Goodman was in one of the funniest movies I've ever seen - "Raising Arizona" with Nicholas Cage & Holly Hunter. IIRC, it was one of the first Coen Brothers movies - absolutely hilarious with so many classic lines?

Agreed. That was the first time I saw many of the actors in that film.

Agreed! ‘Raising Arizona’ is in my Top Ten. OK, Top 20. But still, it’s in there!

Actually, ‘Blood Simple’ was the Coen Brothers first film. They weren’t credited as Directors, but I don’t know why. Chilling and really dark. But, also funny, LOL! You can see a little of ‘Fargo’ in there from the git-go. Well worth a look! ;)

The scene where he emerges from the mud is classic.

When I moved to Phoenix in 1995, my SoCal coworkers presented me with a VHS copy of “Raising Arizona”. What a hoot!

This unfortunately is what many people think Arizona is like — filled with the dysfunctional and armed criminally insane.
