Coen-ography: 13 Films of Joel and Ethan Coen

RAISING ARIZONA (1987)
The first of the Coens' wild and wooly comedies, and the first major movie role for Frances McDormand's onetime roommate, Holly Hunter. The film stars Hunter as a cop and Nicolas Cage as her dim-but-sweet ex-con husband who, when he learns that the couple can neither bear nor adopt a child, kidnaps an infant quintuplet son of a local tycoon. High jinks ensue, as do some hair-raising chase scenes.
