Cable Guy? nah.

For my taste, ‘Raising Arizona’ is the absolute pinnacle of comedy.

I agree about Raising Arizona. Its outrageous, over -the- top hilarity for most of it was also deftly anchored in a real and serious thesis on “baby love” and the desire of people to have children, which made the last few minutes, narrated by Nic Cage as he envisions the life he and Holly Hunter might have had, tremendously moving. Just sublime. By far the best few minutes the Coen brothers ever committed to film. But of course, only to be undercut by the VERY last moment of the film, where he says.....”but maybe it was Utah”.
