80's Movie Weekend



I love today's movie. Way before he was making a movie for any random script that came across his desk, Nicolas Cage was Herbert I. "Hi" McDunnough, a petty criminal who would meet his future wife Edwina "Ed" (Holly Hunter) after she takes his mugshots from a recent arrest. The two have trouble conceiving a child, and so Hi steals one for her, and chaos and hilarity ensue. Directed by the Coen brothers and also starring John Goodman and William Forsythe (two Forsythe sightings in one month!), of course I'm talking about "Raising Arizona"...

the trailer...



the diaper chase scene... I think we can all relate, right?...
