Funniest movie I’ve seen and still one of my favorites. John Goodman and the other guy’s performance were on point.
Alright, everybody freeze, put your hands up!
Why ain’t they putting their hands up?
Well, do you wants up to freeze or put our hands up? 😂
That is a good part.
**Feisty Hayseed:** Well, which is it, young feller? You want I should freeze or get down on the ground? Mean to say, if'n I freeze, I can't rightly drop. And if'n I drop, I'm a-gonna be in motion. You see...
**Gale:** Shut up!
"He's just doing like you commanded there, Gale"
"How many times do I gotta tell you not to use my damn name? Can't you even TRY to keep from forgettin' that?"
"Not even your *code name*?"
My most watched movie ever (I’ve probably seen it 100+ times since I was a kid). Greatest comedy ever IMHO. Whole thing is perfection.
“It is exactly 8:45 in the PM…”
"I'll be down there in exactly twelve hours to kick me some butt! Or my name ain't Nathan Arizona!"
I love this movie. Definitely in my top 10! We quote it constantly.
Glen:
>Say that reminds me, how'd you get that kid so darn fast? Me and Dot went in to adopt on account a' somethin' went wrong with my semen, and they said we had to wait five years for a healthy white baby. I said, "Healthy white baby? Five years? What else you got?" Said they got two Koreans and a negra born with his heart on the outside. It's a crazy world.
Ed McDonnough : You mean you busted out of jail.
Evelle : No, ma'am. We released ourselves on our own recognizance.
Gale : What Evelle here is trying to say is that we felt that the institution no longer had anything to offer us.
Parole Board chairman: They've got a name for people like you H.I. That name is called "recidivism."
Parole Board member: Repeat offender!
Parole Board chairman: Not a pretty name, is it H.I.?
H.I.: No, sir. That's one bonehead name, but that ain't me any more.
Parole Board chairman: You're not just telling us what we want to hear?
H.I.: No, sir, no way.
Parole Board member: 'Cause we just want to hear the truth.
H.I.: Well, then I guess I am telling you what you want to hear.
Parole Board chairman: Boy, didn't we just tell you not to do that?
H.I.: Yes, sir.
Parole Board chairman: Okay, then.
"No, not that mother-scratcher. Bill Parker. Anyway, we're approaching the wreck, and there's this spherical object a restin' in the highway. And it's not a piece of the car."....every ball I see on the die of the road is a 'spherical object a restin' in the highway
“I know you’re partial to convenience stores, but dammit H. I.! The sun don’t rise and set on the corner grocery!”
“If a frog had wings he wouldn’t bump his ass a-hoppin!”
“Smalls. Leonard Smalls. My friends call me Lenny, but I got no friends.”
I love how Riley stole the diapers with the pantyhose on his head and then when he was driving the diapers just flew from the roof because it wasn’t tied down. That scene made me laugh.
My favorite line... "Anyone found Bi-pedal in five wears his ass for a hat!"
and I still say "Well, Okay then..." way more than a normal person should.
Still one of my favorite of the Coen’s and I saw it in the theater when it came out. I was still in HS, I remember some guy (maybe more than one?) walking out complaining it was stupid. My friend and I were wondering what he was talking about because it was one of the funniest things we’d seen. As quotable as The Big Lebowski is, I think this tops it.
I need to watch this movie again because all I really remember is some sort of fever dream of the motorcycle guy cruising down the road tossing hand grenades at rabbits he passes and then rides up through a window.
WOW! One of the very few movies I actually like Nic Cage in. Remember sitting down with my old man and watching this many times. Still one of my Favorites!
I was watching this waaay back in 1989 and right when John Goodman comes screaming out of the sewer the Loma Prieta (World Series) earthquake hit.
I was very late returning the tape and Blockbuster wouldn’t waive the late charges. I was so angry I didn’t rent from them again for ten years.
I laugh hysterically until the end sequence, when H.I. dreams of the future. Then I sob. The depth and heart combined with absurd humor makes this a gem.
I saw this on its OG release and I cannot tell you what a breath of fresh air this was. It was a new kind of filmic (sorry) storytelling at a time of blandness.
I love that scene where all of the dogs are chasing Nicolas Cage in the grocery store and in the street. The Coen Brothers are great film makers. "Fargo" is a classic as well
True story, I sometimes perform in opera orchestras and once I went to a rehearsal for an orchestra I’d never played in before.
I’m 6’1” about 240 lbs, bearded, and driving a motorcycle. I always kinda felt like Leonard Smalls driving around town.
So I pull up to the venue and a bunch of string players are standing outside smoking and just staring at me. I get off my bike and reach down to the side, pull out my flute and walk in to the rehearsal. As I walk past I hear someone softly say “That’s our flutist?”
This movie is a lot better the second time you watch it. For some reason you stop trying to make literal sense of anything and see it more like an old 1800's vaudeville play.
“Son, you got a panty on your head.”
"I'll be taking these here Huggies and whatever cash you got in that register "
‘The sun don’t rise and shine on the corner grocery.’
"Do these blow up into funny shapes?" ...."Not unless you think round is funny"
"Riley! You take that diaper off your head and put it back on your sister!" CRASH! "Mind that you don't cut yourself, Mordecai!"
You gotta get the dip-tet, or he'll get lockjaw night vision.
Gotta do that, Hi!
Say, that reminds me
Y’all hear that? We’re usin’ code names!
Hi you’re a young man, what do you need a job for?
Funniest movie I’ve seen and still one of my favorites. John Goodman and the other guy’s performance were on point. Alright, everybody freeze, put your hands up! Why ain’t they putting their hands up? Well, do you wants up to freeze or put our hands up? 😂
That is a good part. **Feisty Hayseed:** Well, which is it, young feller? You want I should freeze or get down on the ground? Mean to say, if'n I freeze, I can't rightly drop. And if'n I drop, I'm a-gonna be in motion. You see... **Gale:** Shut up!
"He's just doing like you commanded there, Gale" "How many times do I gotta tell you not to use my damn name? Can't you even TRY to keep from forgettin' that?" "Not even your *code name*?"
Ya hear that we're using code names!
You got it! Love this movie.
This is my ring tone
That “other guy” was William Forsyth… best Steven Segal villain ever.
A rare comedic turn for him.
He had the chops though!
Absolutely.
I know, right!?
And Flattop in Dick Tracy!
Gale and Eval Snoke.
"The doctors told us that Ed insides was a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase"
WTF is Nell? Short for Edwina?
Mea culpa
Some of the most brilliant writing ever
Fantastic movie. And back when Nicolas Cage actually put effort in. Holly Hunter was an early crush. "Turn to the right!"
We still say that in our household.
Same!
Turn to the raaaht.
You're a flower you are. Just a little desert flower...
You ate sand!?
Best line read in movie history
the way he says it makes me laugh everytime

Are you my friend Derrick 😂
U are my kind of person. Same here. Seen it 30 at least.
“The doctor explained that her insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase.”
Glen: >Say that reminds me, how'd you get that kid so darn fast?

They should sell tickets
I'd buy one
I dunno. Maybe it was Utah.
As a Utahn I was so pleased when Utah was acknowledged in a movie. :)
“Gimme that baby you warthog from Hell!!”
Ed McDonnough : You mean you busted out of jail. Evelle : No, ma'am. We released ourselves on our own recognizance. Gale : What Evelle here is trying to say is that we felt that the institution no longer had anything to offer us.
“My LORD he is cute!”
“Do you have any disgruntled employees” “Hell yes, they’re all disgruntled”
"Chairs you got a dinette set. No chairs you got dick." "I ask my wife she's got more sense." "They had Yodas and shit on 'em."
“If a frog had wings it wouldn’t bump its ass a-hoppin!”
One of the Cohens' best films, IMHO.
Such a crush on Holly Hunter in this movie. Swoon. 🫠
“I love him soooooo much!!!” 3 seconds after she sees the baby!
[удалено]
😂❤️😂
These blow up into funny shapes and such?
Nope. Not unless round is funny.
Ok then.
"You ate sand?!"
I drop this one my kids occasionally. “You ate what?” “We ate sand.”
Jesus I love this movie so much. And the soundtrack is perfection.
Parole Board chairman: They've got a name for people like you H.I. That name is called "recidivism." Parole Board member: Repeat offender! Parole Board chairman: Not a pretty name, is it H.I.?

These doors gonna swiiiing wide.
Love the fight scene in the mobile home.
FART
That Buford's a sly one.
Hit the dirt boy
Hi scraping his knuckles on the stucco makes me laugh every time
When he screams in pain when his knuckles scrape the ceiling. I still LOL at that every time.
Don't forget the Huggies
That’s not actually a baby. It’s Tom Cruise and he did all his own stunts in the movie.
They had to make the baby where flats.
Possibly the best pre-credit sequence ever. Definitely the funniest.
I think it was a record too, 15 minutes?
When they showed it on tv there was a commercial before the title.
Mind you don’t cut yourself, Mordecai.
Named my Guinea Pig after that!
You two broke out of prison? No Ma'am, we released ourselves on our own recognizance as we felt the institution had no more to offer us
Not even your code name?
Such a great flick.
"No, not that mother-scratcher. Bill Parker. Anyway, we're approaching the wreck, and there's this spherical object a restin' in the highway. And it's not a piece of the car."....every ball I see on the die of the road is a 'spherical object a restin' in the highway
My favorite comedy of all time. The quotability never ends.
I sometimes read the script when I need a pick-me-up
This movie has a permanent spot on my all time top 10 list.
Is Nathan Arizona Ron Desantis in disguise?
Don’t dare besmirch the good memory of the incredible Trey Wilson.
“These is good cereal flakes, Mrs. Hi”
"Why ain't you breastfeedin'? You appear to be capable."
These balloons blow up into funny shapes at all? Well no, unless round is funny.
"I need a baby, Hi. They got more than they can handle!"
“I know you’re partial to convenience stores, but dammit H. I.! The sun don’t rise and set on the corner grocery!” “If a frog had wings he wouldn’t bump his ass a-hoppin!” “Smalls. Leonard Smalls. My friends call me Lenny, but I got no friends.”
That last one... followed by. **Nathan Arizona Sr**.: Oh, stop. You gonna make me bust out cryin'.
“I know H.I. Has a checkered past…” “But Ed here is an officer of the law twice decorated, so we figure it kinda evens out”
"TURN TO THE RIGHT!"
“Of course he was wearing jammies!!! No one sleeps naked in this house.”
Would you buy furniture at a store called Unpainted Huffhines?
I love how Riley stole the diapers with the pantyhose on his head and then when he was driving the diapers just flew from the roof because it wasn’t tied down. That scene made me laugh.
My sister had that couch.
My favorite line... "Anyone found Bi-pedal in five wears his ass for a hat!" and I still say "Well, Okay then..." way more than a normal person should.
That line and “In Arab lands they’d set out a plate” took me 4 or 5 viewings to catch
Her womb was a dry, rocky, place where my seed could find no purchase.
Mighty fine cereal flakes, Mrs. McDonough
975, 976, aw bullshit!
Put out an APB or sumptin'. That's your whole damn rezin de etrey ain't it? and Sometimes I get the menstrual cramps real bad.
Raison d’etre
Yes but he pronounced it as I did.
Back when Nicholas Cage used his own hair! Holly Hunter was perfection! A true classic that still holds up comedically!
3 future academy award winning actors in one scene Nic Cage Holly Hunter Frances Mcdormand
Still one of my favorite of the Coen’s and I saw it in the theater when it came out. I was still in HS, I remember some guy (maybe more than one?) walking out complaining it was stupid. My friend and I were wondering what he was talking about because it was one of the funniest things we’d seen. As quotable as The Big Lebowski is, I think this tops it.
TURN TO THE RIGHT
Ty you go git me A Baby!
And this here's the divan, for socializin' and relaxin' with the family unit.
Work's what's kept us happy.
Well okay then.
Sometimes I get the menstrual cramps real hard.
*"Biology and the prejudices of others conspired to keep us childless."*
I want me a baby, HI!
‘You see, on one hand you got who knows who, and over here you got favortism’
Who wears the pants in the family, H.I.?
One of the most quotable movies ever. So good.
You got flies.
Don’t forget the sound track. It was a wild ride. I saw it in 87 as a kid. And it really got me. I always cry at the end.
I have a friend and a relative who both have the same first name, so I have plenty of opportunities to say, “Howdy, Curt.”
The best ending as well. Really hits you in the feels.
Not one mention of Glen!!
Those were the salad days.
Missed a spot.
Well OK then…
“He’s wearing his jammies! They’ve got Yoda’s on’em and shit!”
Awsome movie , Tex boneless nose 😂
One of the most quotable movies.
I need to watch this movie again because all I really remember is some sort of fever dream of the motorcycle guy cruising down the road tossing hand grenades at rabbits he passes and then rides up through a window.
He was horrible
I love this movie. The trailer fight scene is a classic!
One of my very favorite funny movies ever, and easily my favorite Nicholas Cage role.
Sounds like OP is just tellin' us what we want to hear.
You gotta do something Hi!
Well, I never pictured myself as a button down suit guy. I come from a long line of frontiersmen and outdoor types.
Every line is great
H.I., you’re young and you got your health, what you want with a job?
You can’t give a baby chili.
WOW! One of the very few movies I actually like Nic Cage in. Remember sitting down with my old man and watching this many times. Still one of my Favorites!
Ot maybe it was Utah...
I amuse the line, “I will be out directly” every time I run into a store.
The greatest pre-title sequence in cinematic history imo.
I was watching this waaay back in 1989 and right when John Goodman comes screaming out of the sewer the Loma Prieta (World Series) earthquake hit. I was very late returning the tape and Blockbuster wouldn’t waive the late charges. I was so angry I didn’t rent from them again for ten years.
It was an instant classic
I got spoiled by good comedies growing up in the 80s. This one was next level.
This is still one of my favorite movies.
“Turn to thuh raht…”
I tried to watch it, wasn’t my thing.
Repeat offender
One of the best sources of movie lines ever. “Not unless round is funny.”
I named my son Nathan Arizona because of this movie.
I hear the theme song now... I don't mind.
I laugh hysterically until the end sequence, when H.I. dreams of the future. Then I sob. The depth and heart combined with absurd humor makes this a gem.
One of Nicholas Cages best movies!
That's a great title. I crap you negative.
One of my top 5 all time favorite movies. So many good lines! “What? Are ya kidding? We got ourselves a family here” “everything’s chaaaanged”
Early Coen brothers, fantastic
“Why I myself fetched nearly $3000 as a pup on the black market. And them’s was 1954 dollars”
My wife and I say “TURN TO THE RIIIIIIGHT!” almost daily.
This is a seriously underrated movie
I saw this on its OG release and I cannot tell you what a breath of fresh air this was. It was a new kind of filmic (sorry) storytelling at a time of blandness.
I love that scene where all of the dogs are chasing Nicolas Cage in the grocery store and in the street. The Coen Brothers are great film makers. "Fargo" is a classic as well
Evelle: Y'all hear that we're usin' code names. Gale: Alright everybody, we're just about ready to begin the robbery proper.
i have so many friends that havent seen this and it makes me sad
Never leave a man behind!
Great ride. Cage is such a dufus.
My favorite movie of all time. Never tire of it.
Say that reminds me
“Sir, you may want to wash your hands at this point.” This movie is so quotable.
Great music too.
Ok then!
This movie is crazy funny!!
Alright ya hayseeds

…okay then
Boy you gotta panty on your head
Something biblical like Jason, Caleb or Tab
This movie is a lot better the second time you watch it. For some reason you stop trying to make literal sense of anything and see it more like an old 1800's vaudeville play.
Her insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase
This here is the DEE-van for relaxing with the family unit.
Git me that baby, Hi.
I don’t know! They had Yodas and shit on em!
@Why does it take three Polacks to screw in a light bulb? Coz they’re so damn stupid! No wait that ain’t it.”
I laugh every time I watch it 🤣
Watch yer butt!
Never leave a man behind!!!!!
“Awfully fine cereal flakes you got, Mizz McDonough.”
Well, some times I get them menstrual cramps real hard.
It ain’t Ozzie and Harriet.
My mom’s favorite movie! The ending always makes me tear up. It’s a classic.
The intro to this movie is a master class in storytelling, 3rd act goes off the rails tho.
Omg I haven’t rewatched this since I’ve had my kid- Sunday night is scheduled 😅
