THAT NAME IS CALLED RECIDIVISM: I've stumbled across RAISING ARIZONA a few times on cable of late, and I'm starting to think this may be the best movie ever made, or at least among them. It's so rich, so full of great lines and moments and performances...well, my capacity for viewing it seems bottomless. I'm half-tempted to buy a DVD player and a monitor and put 'em on a table somewhere with this movie on endless repeat-play.

It *is* the best comedy movie of all time IMO. I'm not even sure how many times I've seen it. One of my favorite (and often missed) parts is when he's dreaming of Ed in jail...he's facing the bottom of the top bunk, dreaming of the life with Ed, while she snaps his picture...then he rolls over, *turning to the right*...brilliant.

Two guys break prison through a sewer, and once in a washroom, only apply hair-gel.
"I just love biblical names ..(crash).. don't cut yourself Mordecai"
"..abducted by aliens?.. don't print that son, .. she's just gonna lose all hope"
"Her point was.. Every day we kept a child out of the world was a day he might later regret having missed."
"they in funny shapes? Not unless round is funny"
"If I freeze I can't very well drop.."
"In an effort to better ourselves, we were forced to meet with a counselor.."
" 'cuz we just wanna hear the truth! .. then I guess I am telling you what you want to hear"
"Hell, that's your forte, ain't it.. trackin' down microbes left by criminals and commies and shit? That's your whole raison d'etre, ain't it?
... etc etc etc.
Really, really good.
And three oscar actors when they were still unknown.
