Raising Arizona is a masterpiece!
Raising arizona is a great movie
It's great
It just is
This movie rocks! Roger was wrong. 🙄
yes
Yes not so much wrong its just his opinion thats the great thing about movies we dont all have to have the same opinion. I think its great but he was entitled to his opinion he didnt have to love it
Usually if a film is panned by critics then i end up loving it!
@@shawndamccormick278 - me too & it happens with my favorite music, too. now in my 40s, I believe that Critics are irrelevant. they do not create, because they can’t. they’re miserable, talentless SOBs & they play their role very well.
Yeah, Roger was way off… no one’s perfect, I guess. He was right about True Stories though, that’s a pretty underrated film.
Without a doubt one of the funniest movies of all time. Well written and well acted. Not a weak performance in the movie. I saw at the theater in 1987 and laughed nonstop. A classic.
Me and my Sister lit up and saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail ..and had that same kinda nonstop laffing deal ...' Much as ah despise ( mostly republican ) rednecks , I Love(d) This moo-vay which points fight at me having some Recessive Redneck Genes , too ! Lol 🐸 - licker
RASING THE ARIZONA WAS AND STILL THE BEST MOVIE 🍿
OR MY NAME AIN’T NATHAN ARIZONA!
These guys were the Living versions of the two balcony geezers in the Muppets Show
😀😀😃😁😁😆
Seems like Raising Arizona is on HBO at least twice a day for the last 30 years.
people actually pay to watch it? Help us, jesus.
As God intended.
I like the movies style and it’s characters. Every character is beyond bizarre but also endearing.
"When there was no crawdad, we ate sand." "You ate sand?" "We ate sand."
I think that there's something almost impenetrable about The coens' films in general. But this one i enjoyed
Roger was waaaaaaaay WRONG. If he were still alive I believe he would agree today
Absolutely.
He didn’t get the movie. Not the movies fault.
They say that sin costs people the chance at eternal life. Whatever else Roger may have done in his life, this negative review of Raising Arizona sealed his fate.
@@ralphroe5625 unfortunately
Loved these guys (Siskle and ebert). Thanks for including the opening and end show sequences. Made me realize how much I miss them. Great guys, and great critics (always worth listening to whether you agreed or not). I read Ebert’s column and blog for years and years until he passed away. Also, raising Arizona - GREAT film! 😁 That movie is a great example of what Nicholas Cage can do with a role that makes it both transcendent and uniquely his own.
Roger Ebert had pretty good taste in movies, but man he sure doesn't get Raising Arizona.
Making the right call on movie after movie is no easy task. He missed on this one.
Tbf both Siskel and Ebert had misses every now and then.
Both of them hated Day of the Dead, which is now widely considered a classic in zombie subgenre
It was a great movie. The Cohen brothers sure can make a movie
Sure miss Siskel n Ebert. And Raising Arizona is a masterpiece of comedy stereotypes and memorable lifelong one liners. 🇺🇸🤘🏻🤘🏾🤘🏿🤘🏼🤘
And this here’s the divan, meant for socializing with the family unit.
O.K. then.

Great line.
One of a handful of Coen movies I genuinely enjoyed. One of the few times Siskel gets it right over Ebert.
I was just thinking ( UhOh , mah heads startin to smoke agin ) , Isnt Siskel the one that Pans "moovays "?
He got it right often. Ebert was very smart and of course knew his stuff, but included in that “stuff” was the ability to pander.
This and Spawn are the only two times Siskel was right and Ebert wrong. Usually it's the opposite.
I think it’s funny how Roger Ebert hit the nail on the head with his description of the film, but took the wrong idea from it. It is a movie with larger than life characters who don’t talk like normal people. It is an exhibit to witness these characters, but that’s what’s so great about it. It’s a piece that forces you to withdraw and witness the craziness that ensues.
i noticed this as well.
I didn't think the movie was funny when I first saw it either, but thankfully we watched it again and I understood the humor. Not slow, not trite, just funny. And don't forget how quotable it is. "Son, you've got a panty on your head." "Not unless round is funny." "Or my name ain't Nathan Arizona." (It isn't) This movie is Nick Cage's finest work.
And for the aware, the grocery clerk fires 5 shots out of a double barrel shotgun.
Son, don't print that. His momma sees that, she's just gonna lose all hope!
It is funnier and more enjoyable after 2 or 3 (or 10) watches like many Coen brothers films. Big Lebowski and O Brother were also like this.
One of the funniest movies that I ever saw. I have watched it numerous times.
this Film will be funny forever…& that’s a long time. it amazes me how Frances McDormand looked like a middle-aged mother of Too Many kids in this (1987), then looked like a middle-aged mother of Two in Almost Famous (2000), then looked like a middle-aged mother of 4 in Moonrise Kingdom (2012) How?! the characters in this film were too well cast to imagine anyone else playing the roles. this is & will always be my favorite Nick Cage. it may also be my favorite Holly Hunter, too.
Question: .A. were the characters too well developed by the brothers? .B. were the actors too great in their roles? .C. were the casting choices too perfect? I believe it’s All the Above. it was an alchemistic ensemble of Filmmakers & Actors that can’t be replicated or reproduced.
there’re so many lines from this film that I use on a weekly basis. that shows how timeless Raising AZ is & was & will be. that’s what makes a classic a classic & if you’re here, then you already know how perfect it all was. my 11, 8 & 5yr old children often have it playing when I get home & that makes me extra proud of us all.
I call it the Steve Austin trick. When you're relatively young and already look like you're in your fourties the public perception is that you're aging incredibly well!
Ebert is forced to watch this masterpiece every, single, day in hell. JK, Love Ebert. He introduced me to Malick and for that, I am eternally grateful.
‘Maybe it was Utah’. 🤣
Thought I was gonna die.
I LOVED this movie. So many talented actors/actresses. This movie was non-stop entertainment for me.
Raising Arizona and True Strories are two of my favourite movies. I find it hard to believe someone could like one but not the other.
This is my second favorite comedy ever after Trading Places. I end friendships with anyone who doesn't like it.
There’s a logo there at the very end that says “Buena Vista Television.” Buena Vista Television/Buena Vista Entertainment are owned by Disney. I wish we could get the complete Siskel & Ebert television franchise on Hulu or Disney Plus.
One of my favorite movies of all time!!! Roger you are wrong!!!!
An ode to 50s culture like many 80s things. Good stuff
“I don’t know, they were his ‘jammies. They had Yodas and sh!t on ‘em.”
So great!! Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter John Goodman William Forsythe. Crisp comedy writing.
Everybody freeze! Everybody drop to the ground! (Nobody moves, lol)
Do these balloons come in funny shapes?
Not unless you think round's Funny.
Leave the "lol" in the 2010s
Well, what's it gonna be young fella? If'n I freeze, I can't get on the ground, and if'n I drop I'm a gonna be in motion.
“We’re about to begin the robbery proper.”
Okaaay then...
In my list of top 15 favorites
I love "True Stories," and "Raising Arizona."
“He’s our baby, too!!!!”
This did not age well for Ebert. This is one of the funniest movies of all time.
Raising Arizona is a classic, True Stories isn’t, end of story…literally 5 years after, in the early-mid 90s, NO one even acknowledged TS and RA was one of the funniest movies of the 80s
Neither review was very good really, IMHO. These guys can do much better. Most of the movie was pretty much dismissed with only a passing reference to the plot, excellent performances by the cast, and some major laughs. I would not pass up a chance to talk about the great scene where Ed and Hi entertain their friends, or the baby knapping scene. Smalls deserves a mention too. You mean between the two of them we can only focus on a chase scene or two, plus the cinematography and some kookie offbeat characters? Every comedy stars kookie, offbeat characters. Maybe down home, country humor does not appeal to everyone.
Critics were more careful
about spoilers then.
This movie was amazing
What am I talking about? What are you talking about? I'm talking about L'amour, I'm talking about sex, I'm talking about wife swappin....
Also one of the funniest fight scenes in cinema history as John Goodman and Nick Cage slug it out in a double wide trailer.
I was probably ten years old the first time I saw Raising Arizona, likely on HBO. I wasn’t at all a fan of the movie, then. I was utterly neutral on it at the time. Over the years, I happened to rewatch it and rewatch it. In those repeat viewings, I became a huge fan of the movie. I doubt Roger Ebert ever seriously watched the movie again in his life. But, if he had, it might have grown on him.
THAT Opened the Endorphin Spigot WIDE !!!
The one thing I did find rediculous about Raising Arizona and many movies depicted and it filmed in Arizona is the hillbillyesque, southern drawl accents all the characters! Arizona isn't the South, it's the southwest and people there don't talk like that at all, and I was born and RAISED in Arizona.
Maybe they don't sound like that to you.
@@scotttrezak674 LOL
no, AZ isn't the south. This isn't perception, it's Hollywood stereotyping.
If a person born and raised in Arizona sounds like they have a southern accent, they were either raised here by southern transplants OR the person listening to them has some sort of mental problem.
It's a live action Looney Tunes movie. Brilliant move. I got to know Tex Cobb and he's nothing like Lenard Smalls😄😄
Roger, Roger, Roger...how in the world did you give a thumbs down on one of the greatest movies ever made!? Sheesh
“Behavioral Exhibits” is a very good way to describe how the Coen’s right their characters lol. Love this movie so much.
I'm surprised Roger Ebert didn't like Raising Arizona which was a brilliant movie.
This was the BEST movie of 1989!!!
Wow! Usually Siskel is dead wrong but this time it's Ebert.
Ok this movie is absolutely hilarious. So is Roger. Hilarious.
Best chase scene in film history!
Miss these guys... missing the 80s as well...
I always tend to side with Ebert, this is a great example to prove that nobody's perfect. And if you connect my "nobody's perfect" quotes, you get a gold star. ❤
If I were to guess before the video it would have been that Roger liked it but Gene didn't seeing as Roger usually considers the tone of the film and the audience and Gene really prefers art films. Raising Arizona is the early Coens at their most cartoonish (along the lines of Evil Dead and Crime Wave), and it's wildly expressive and over the top.
Loved it!!!!!!
I love "True Stories" but five years after Roger makes his bet, "Raising Arizona" was the movie that had won that contest, hands down, as far as reputation and shelf life. Roger, yet again, missing the boat (although Siskel missed it more often!). Let's see: Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange", Lynch's "Blue Velvet" and now the Coen Brothers' "Raising Arizona". Three of the greatest. most essential, most emblematic and iconic films of those directors' careers. Unbelievable. How do you miss the boat on "Raising Arizona?"!
Miss these guys so much - even when Ebert broke my heart!
Love it
Just goes to show. Don’t always take the advice of someone(Roger) that has different views and taste in movies. You be your own judge. I personally loved it.
I lived in that very part of dowtown Chicago where those scenes were shot...it was michigan Ave...and I'll be Goddamned if that opening does't suck.
Crazy Roger😀
I know one of the reviews from this episode got deleted. Could you possibly post the full episode unedited so I could grab a copy and watch it as a full episode? Thanks!
i'll try to find it
One Of The Best Movies of All Time‼️ Rodger Was WRONG‼️
I think Roger re reviewed this in the 90's. This and the 1982 Thing where the only ones he reversed.
Back in the days when I knew I wanted to go see a movie if the film critics hated it.
We're still living in those days bud, if anything it has intensified.
Roger was buggin
A funny movie. Same formula worked for my name is earl😄
Where does this movie take place?
This film was ahead of its time that Ebert seemed to not understand. Watched it last night with my 15 year old. It kept her interest which is saying a lot LOL
Great movie
I wonder how hard it is to be totally wrong about what I'm supposed to be an expert at. Raising Arizona 1, Ebert 0
Raising Arizona came out in 1987. Blood Simple came out in 1984. Gene was slightly incorrect when he said “…two years ago…”
Many comic writers have said Roger Ebert didn't have much of a sense of humor. He was one of the great essayists, but he struggled with comedies.
Men and women usually have a different taste in cinema. It just tends to be true. But, if I had to pick a film that would appeal most to both men and women I would choose Raising Arizona. It's funny, surreal, heartwarming and what other Coen brothers film makes you cry
wait, was that the same Cash Cab driver?!
"OKAY then"
Roger missed this one
The movie holds up well over time.
There is neither right or wrong on opinions, Ebert is entitled to his. I personally love the movie, doesn't make his opinion wrong just because his opinion doesn't align with mine.
This film is the 2001 space odyssey of comedy, all style and no content (events unrelated to each other, what some critics did not like) so that it is the viewer who creates the meaning, as impressive as the acting estranged is the same as that of the Kubrickian characters, but bent on the comic side, interesting also how watching and looking at this film its theme escapes me, (I perceive the waiting for time as Waiting for Godot, also considered the image of the poster that reflects the theme of the film, but maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's something else, or nothing)
Rare Siskel W
I re-watched Raising Arizona for the first time as an adult recently, and with a more objective, informed, and critical mind, the movie is definitely not as good as I thought it was when I was younger. In fact, it’s so slow moving at times, I couldn’t get through it all in ones sitting.
Really? The movie is awesome I watched it as a kid when it first came out and still watch it today and still find it funny it's a great movie
@@79tazman I still like it but it definitely has its flaws.
Exactly I agree with you, it’s just good not amazing
lol Ebert is so pissed here
The type of review that would be changed during awards season.
I'm sorry, guys but Raising Arizona is the best movie the Cohen brothers ever made
Do these guys like any movie? Once again they are very wrong.
This is a classic movie that solidified the Coen Brothers. The characters and writing are amazing.
Two thumbs way up. And the music is stellar.
The dialogue is ‘large’ and hilarious. It’s anachronistic.
RAISING Arizona is a very funny comedy by the Coen Brothers.
You just blew my mind
Roger missed it on this one.
Classic and hilarious movie.....👍🏾👍🏾
Siskel pronounces their name "Cone" - like Roy Kohn lol.
Great comedy
Ebert was dead wrong on this one
Ebert missed the mark on this one. The film is still hilarious and well done
One of the greatest comedies ever. Very disappointed in this review from Ebert especially.
3:18 The characters are weird, on purpose
I knew Roger wasn't going to like this film, the same way he didn't like Brain Candy.
he's a Hack Fraud.
Raising Arizona is a awesome movie you want to LYAO then it's a movie to watch
These guys were always going back and forth, in terms of their cinematic tastes. I know both changed their opinions about a lot of movies later in life, this one included. I respected each one for different reasons, and disagreed with them both about half the time.
I must admit I wasn't a fan of Raising Arizona when I first watched it as a kid. Mostly agreed with Ebert, thought it was overly cheesy and sentimental and broad compared to other Coens' comedy favs of mine. Just rewatched it last year and boy was I wrong. I laughed and cried all the way through. Deceptively smart satire of Reaganism I had totally missed as a kid, that makes the surreal apocalyptic mad max stuff actually make sense. Got to be one of my absolute favourite films now!
If anything, it was a satire of socialism…stealing a baby because others have too many when you have none is clearly wrong.
@@vaportrails7943 I would completely disagree. But you are right on one thing. "Stealing a baby because others have too many when you have none is clearly wrong."
So the fact the film's main characters are the perpetrator's of such a heinous crime, and it makes us sympathetic towards and root for those characters despite their moral decline, can mean only one thing. That the audience should put less blame on those characters for their crime, and more blame on the unfair situation that led them there. The unfair situation here clearly being Reagan's America. The simple truth the film is pointing to regarding reaganism, is the death spiral it puts those who are born or raised less fortune in.
H.I is a good man at his core. The film is clear of that. That's why he's the main character and he's impossible not to love. Yet due to his circumstances of poverty and poor education, circumstances reaganism refuses to ail, crime has been his only option. He finally finds his path out of sin through a loving wife and a family to raise. Only due to his past, one that was exacerbated by his government, that same government stops him from adopting a child and forces him back into a life of crime. Forces him to commit the worst crime he has ever commited, stealing a baby.
In the future we see what will become of this good man if he continues along this path in a libertarian paradise. He becomes evil incarnate. Sharing the exact same tattoo as the bounty hunter biker, the biker is his future self. Stealing and selling babies on the black market. Or the free market, as reaganism would put it.
@vaportrails7943 no, it's definitely a satire of lowbrow middle class values, not "socialism," c'mon, you're just reacting to the comment about Reagan.
Ebert was wrong on this one. No slow parts and the dialog is perfect!
The characters have to be super-weird, after all the plot is about kidnapping a baby, if anyone remotely normal was doing this it would be creepy.
It's rare that I disagree with Ebert. I've always love watching movies then reading his review on it. He's wrong on this one. Nobody is perfect. ;)
