        Raising Arizona changed me in a fundamental way. I caught it repeatedly during its run on HBO back in the day. -- nm - con_carne Apr 2, 16:27
        
        Raising Arizona was revolutionary in that there was nothing out there like it at the time. It hasn't held up well. - Reagen Apr 2, 16:14 4

        Raising Arizona is the one Coen movie i have no use for. -- nm - TFox Apr 2, 16:12 2
        
        Same here. My gf loves it and I've sat throught it a few times but I just don't like it. - Krusty Apr 2, 16:15
