    Never saw The Big Lebowski, is it a guys movie or something to watch with the wife?
    If it helps, I love that movie. I have seen it more times than I can remember.

    That definitely helps.  Does it have a pulp fiction feel?

    I would say no. It does not have the violence that Pulp Fiction does. It is more quirky. Lots of good dialogue - many quotable lines. The cast is great. I went to an event in NYC for some anniversary of the movie, and all the cast was there. They were on stage talking about the film. It was awesome!!

    Probably the last ‘easy’ choice for me. It’s going to tough now.

    RA is one of my family's movies. I used to watch it with my brother & cousin and we knew damn near every line. I'm sorry that you didn't have the same kind of experience.

    Never in my life have I been able to watch a movie Nic Cage was in more than once, to the point where I stopped watching movies with him as a cast member all together.

    Same.  Not sure the last time I watched one of his movies.  Think it was one of the Mission Impossible ones.
    He fucking sucks.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Maybe if they had cast Elisabeth Shue as both characters...
    It's a hopeless situation...

    He’s fantastic in Raising Arizona. His hair is even better.

    The goddamn face he makes while trying to swallow his beer after Glenn tells him, “sumthin went wrong with my semen” is Oscar-worthy. 

    “You ate sand?”

    His silent film skills during the fight scene with Smalls. 

    Just so much awesome. 

    I mean, I understand where people are coming from regarding Cage these days (although apparently he’s having something of a comeback, I hear), but he’s just perfect in this film. 

    Wild at Heart and Vampire’s Kiss were some other next-level performances, IMO.

    I’ll give you that, his hair in RA is better than any performance he had.

    Wild at Heart is incredible.
