gotta rewatch BS, it was the least compelling of their movies for me, but I'm sure I'll see things different if I watch it again. RA is pure class though, so much depth in a christmas comedy.
@@armensog87 Completely agree. Blood Simple was refreshingly basic, but my was it basic. I think Joel was too hard on it (he called it "pretty damned bad"), but even The Ladykillers (for all its obvious flaws) still offers more for me. Raising Arizona is a masterpiece, definitely.
@@armensog87 It's only better if you prefer neonoir retreads to broad comedy. ARIZONA has all the earmarks of classic screwball in a modern setting, like Sturges's MIRACLE OF MORGAN'S CREEK by way of ROAD WARRIOR.

I know everyone is entitled to their opinion but Blood Simple and Raising Arizona are classics...

@@j.patrick1056 As for me I didn't like both as much as their other films but on rewatching it was only Blood Simple that I loved.
Blood simple is one of the best debut film ever produced in the history of cinema.
Yes. That, Reservoir Dogs, El Mariachi, and Clerks are the best independent debut films.

Stranger than paradise
@@evanpeltier Don’t forget Eraserhead
I agree in my opinion it’s their best
If so then a very smart and entertaining one. Late Monday nights : Film reviews with wit.
I'm sorry but Raising Arizona is a classic comedy film. Never seen Blood simple.
Trent csqw Blood Simple is better than Raising Arizona, you should see it.
how is it better?

Next to Vacation, Raising Arizona is the best comedy of the 80s.
“Blood simple is overrated” 🙄
“Raising Arizona is very overrated” 🫤
“Miller’s Crossing is excellent “ 😃
your opinion means nothing
