I was gonna watch in order but felt compelled to start with Raising Arizona. It is really surprising for only being their second movie how many similar themes from their later catalog are explored here. You have an indescribable antagonist that is born of nature and not man, the ineptitude of well, everyone, but also just the way this movie is shot just feels really ahead of its time for 1987. The cast is excellent all around here and this actually felt like a very sweet, optimistic film by the duo compared to most their other work. I would say if theres anything lacking it just feels very hollow beyond the main plot but maybe thats by design considering how simple everyone in the film is. 8.5/10

i watched Arizona back in October and tbh it wouldnt rank among my Coen favs (so far), felt like growing pains with trying to mix the comedy with the drama. car chase and ending are all-timers though. if i have time i might give it a rewatch with a more open mind

Hi's ex-con buddies forgetting the baby multiple times and then willfully going back to prison really got me
