I think Raising Arizona is one of the greatest movies ever made.

What the **** are you old people babbling about now?

 

Actually I think it was their attempt to transition to grown-up roles and tack on to the yuppie setting, but it was either five years too late, or too early, considering the thematic shift and explosion in romantic comedies in the early '90s.

 

Sorry, feel free to post some more "hottest Disney princesses in real life" threads.

 

Cage is an acceptable actor. Mainstream movies just got really narrow, and then insanely lucrative ($10 - $20 million paydays), in the last fifteen years.

 

Jasmine. Exotic white male fantasy. Spreading the white devil seed into far reaching corners of the Earth. WHITE PEOPLE POUHE. WHITE PEOPLE. GET USED TO US.


Ariel. Fire crotch. Nuff said.

 

Everybody freeze! Everybody down on the ground!

Well, which is it, young feller? You want I should freeze or get down on the ground? Mean to say, if'n I freeze, I can't rightly drop. And if'n I drop, I'm a-gonna be in motion, you see?

 

I've been around Caucasians my entire life, Moes, most of them are a lot less needy and regressive than you.

 

I'm just a social r****dation. An example of what happens when you lock a child in a room with the internet.

 

Great line.

 

Balloons! Hey! These balloons blow up into funny shapes and all?

Well, naw. Unless round is funny.

 

Never saw at Elmo's fire. AND I HAVE SEEN 80's movies. And it really just looks awful.

Was that the end of the brat pack? Because I have seen all the others.

What are you talking about? So nick, Sean, judge, Jennifer Jason Leigh and phoebe aren't brat pack

If not, then let's say the brat pack era.

 

And when there was no crawdad to be found, we ate sand.

 

"Edwina's insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase."

That's one of the greatest one-liners in movie script history.

I still put Big Lebowski over Raising Arizona, but yes as far as reputation this probably makes it as the most underrated Coen Bros movie.

 

Nor are Jennifer Jason Leigh, Eric Stolz, Forrest Whittaker or that My Favorite Martian guy. And it's '82 so it pre-dates the brat pack era, especially the high-school part to which you've linked it: in by '84 and completely done by '88 to make way for Phoenix, Depp, Ryder and the Coreys.

 

Yeah. I don't know. I was just going with the flow when someone else called penn and cage brat pack

Cruise, Demi, Lowe and Molly define them in addition to your list

 

I don't think Cruise is a member of the Brat Pack. He did one film.

Emilio, Anthony Michael Hall, Molly Ringwald, Rob Lowe, Judd Nelson, Demi Moore, Ally Sheedy, Andrew mcCarthy.

That's the Brat Pack.

 

Why on Earth would you mention brat pack in a thread about Coen Brothers movies?

(you kids watch them all)

 

Original Brat Pack. Modine, Sheen, Penn, Cage were not conisdered a part of the group.

Some film histoy: Stanley Kubrick wanted Anthony Michael Hall as the lead in Full Metal Jacket. Negotiation went on for almost a year but Hall wanted too much money. Modine was cast instead.
