July 5, 2014Possibly the Coen brothers' finest cinematic achievement, 'Raising Arizona' tells the story of frequent con, Hi (Nicolas Cage), who falls madly in love with Ed (Holly Hunter), the officer who keeps taking his booking photos. The two get married and when they find themselves unable to have children they hatch a plan to kidnap one of the babies of Nathan Arizona, a wealthy furniture salesman with quintuplets. They do their best to raise the baby right until a guilty conscience comes over Ed and they decide to return the baby, but not before some of Hi's old buddies from jail (John Goodman and William Forsythe) figure out what they've done and decide to take the baby and collect the reward money all the while being hunted down by a vicious bounty hunter on a motorcycle. If you haven't seen it, you really should.
