"O Brother, Where Art Though" - Another off-the-wall Cohen brothers movie with Holly Hunter and John Goodman. On a separate note, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is one of John Hughe's oft-referenced classics and a must see.

[@scyz2807]

Oh Brother is another great movie!

The Yodeling Car Chase is one of the finest pieces of comedy ever committed to film.

[@saaamember97]

The yodeling in the movie was provided by John R. Crowder. Musicians for the yodeling tune "Way Out There" were Ben Freed (banjo), Mieczyslaw Litwinski (Jew's harp and guitar), and John R. Crowder (yodeling).

[@liberateneurodivergents3417]

"What happened to Nicholas Cage" is a question we have all been asking for at least the last 20 years.

[@robertballard2998]

He hasn't gone anywhere. He just needs cash to finance his castles and dinosaur bones, so he's a little less picky. Check out Mandy and Color Out of Space for recent Cage in full Cage mode. For the record, this is my favorite movie (right now, at least). I love the weird lyricism of his dialogue and delivery. I think the beginning montage, Huggies chase scene, and final montage are perfect movie set pieces. Also, there are so many lines from this movie that are etched into my brain. Particularly, the "They were jammies; they had Yodas n' shit on 'em!" line is one that I bring up whenever it is organically possible to do so (which is very rare). Also, "Self-contained and fairly explanatory" is one that I use frequently as a teacher, in that tone of voice.

The song she is singing to the baby is called "Rose Connelly" or "Down in the Willow Garden" it is what they call a "murder ballad." They're really common in old Appalachian, bluegrass, country and blues genres of music and oftentimes very sad.

"an 80's napoleon dynamite" I grew up watching this movie wayyyyy too many times, and I love this analogy. The trailer house, the destitute town, and I think, one of the few movies that really captures Rural American Life. Glad you got to see this little known American classic!

[@mrcydonia]

For a time, I worked in a store that sometimes sold packages of balloons, and I'd always pray that someone would ask if they blew up into funny shapes at all, so I could say what the clerk said, but alas, it never happened.

[@Melissa-wx4lu]

I was born and raised (and still live) in Arizona. This movie was one of the first movies I remember watching. there was a point in my life that I thought it must of been a fever dream. Like I remember a movie, about men crawling up out of the mud, a giant crib with 5 toddlers, robber stealing diapers, and a crazy dude on a motorcycle with grenades. Imagine my shock when one day as a teen I sat down and watched this and boom, there were all the scenes from what I thought was a fever dream. Hi scraping his knuckles on the ceiling of his trailer kills me every time i see it. I laugh like it's the first time every time.

[@ryanmuaddib]

Because of this movie, when I ended up moving to Arizona I expected to hear "Well, OK then." a lot. A bit disappointed that it didn't happen.

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

"Well no, unless round is funny." Your biggest laugh reaction and legitimately the best joke in the movie, hell most movies. Yeah, this reaction channel can stay. I love Raising Arizona like I love most Coen Brothers movies, but yeah, this one is a little special. I'd go for Fargo after this for a darker flavour, or O' Brother Where Art Thou if you fancy another southern flavoured comedy adventure. If you're not used to older, odder flicks one thing to keep in mind is magical realism, which is a thing I love. Weird biker dude is a case of this. That element in a movie that is strange and kinda dream-like in a film which although odd is almost faintly slightly kinda plausible. Just roll with it. You usually get it in the best films. "She is really pretty, I don't know who that is, but she is really pretty." Yes, she is indeed Holly Hunter. Bestest actress and someone I have always had a massive crush. Nicholas Cage - he's still great now and again! He's really good in Werner Herzog's 'Bad Lieutenant' from 2009, but no one went to see that brilliant odd movie. Anyway, I've seen two of your reactions now. I like. Good work. I say you should follow your instincts... especially as *cough sorry* you ain't missing much delaying on the Star Wars prequels. Go hunt out the odd, strange goodness! Also, isn't it odd that you've down say only a dozen reactions and yet two movies you've seen involve bunny rabbits being blown up by hand grenades. Huh.

Filling out the top 5 in no particular order is Miller's Crossing, Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou and the best for me The Big Lebowski. I would love to see you react to any off these if you haven't seen them. Keep up the great work and keep up enjoying awesome film's.

[@kona883]

[@jksgameshelf3378]

No Country for Old Men by the Coens is my favorite movie of all time, but so many others that they did are amazing, too. Fargo and Barton Fink are two of my other absolute favorites. Oddly enough, The Big Lebowski is one that so many people love, that I just think is pretty good.

[@Nope2022HugeTheWarningFan]

I'm one of the only people on this planet who hates The Big Lebowski. I also have a disdain for O Brother Where Art Thou, and don't much care for Fargo. Raising Arizona, on the other hand, is one of my favorite movies...!

Miller's Crossing is my favorite gangster film.

[@ThePlaySpace-CurtainCall]

@@Nope2022HugeTheWarningFan I just don't know what to say to that, except that most of the Coen brothers film take a second watch for me to fully get it. The Big Lebowski was like that for me. I didn't get it the first time, or maybe I was hoping for something on the scale of Raising Arizona. But the second time I watched it, I fell in love with it. Raising Arizona is still better and O Brother took a second viewing and for me to connect the Odyssey with it. But, honestly hating those and Fargo? I gotta say that you obviously missed some film and creative writing classes in college, because those things are works of art on the level of Shakespeare. Barton Fink I can live without, but that's a different matter.

"We got our selves a family here" "Them were the salad days" "You take that diaper off your head and put it back on your sister" "Turn the the right" "Recidivism - what we can a repeat offender" "Well O-kay then".

Cage also has a lead roll in Valley Girl where his acting is nothing like his current stuff. I feel you about the being 6' part.

The film the Coens did after this one was a gangster film called "Miller's Crossing," that might well be the best movie I've ever seen. Definitely check it out. Incidentally, I think the identical tattoo detail was to indicate that symbolically, the biker represented the dark side of H.I. After all, we first see him in H.I.'s nightmare, where he worries what hell he may have unleashed by kidnapping Nathan Jr.

[@davidmarquardt2445]

Yes "Miller's Crossing" is a great film. Although it has a gangster setting, they say it's about friendship and it has really great dialog and a great score. I have it on DVD and must have watched it at least 10 times. It's just so well written.

[@richgoebel882]

Your review of this was so good, I just watched it again. 1. Did you notice just how long the intro to this movie was? 2. The intro covered more than two years. The actual movie itself covered only two days in time. The epilog was a whole generation long. 3. Five of the twelve babies used to play the Arizona Quints, were girls. They all would be about 35 years old now. 4. I know you hate opening credits, but did you listen/watch the closing credits all the way through. Many of the older movies have "easter eggs" that are only in the closing credits and sometimes you really have to look for them. You would find the simple banjo melody merge into one of the classical masterpieces, but not if you stop too soon. There a a lot of classic closing credits gems. Ferris Bueller's Day off has the best one, but it is AFTER the closing credits end. People who left the movie theatre too soon missed it and heard about it later. There are countless others.

[@jeffreymyers5144]

Ashleigh, I am going to tell you, if you want to keep the trilogy theme going, you should watch these other two great movies by the Coen Brothers, same writers and directors of Raising Arizona. Now there are no sequels among their movies, so these suggestions are not related in storyline at all, so not a true trilogy. But they are all just as unique and entertaining as Raising Arizona, if not more so on some of them. You should follow Raising Arizona up with The Big Lebowski, and then O Brother, Where Art Though?, both have John Goodman, as he has been in a lot of their movies, whether a lead or a small part. Trust me on this. You will love them and it sort of keeps the trilogy (or at least "Trio") theme going. ..and The Big Lebowski is one of the greatest movies of all time, voted and rated by many, many, many, many people. Also quite possibly John Goodman's greatest role ever and also the greatest role ever by Jeff Bridges.

And now that I've watched it, the answer to your question about the matching tattoos... Think about it. H.I.'s parents are supposedly dead, the lone biker of the Apocalypse refers to being sold as a child. H.I. doesn't apologize for pulling the grenade pin because he killed a random attacker. He apologizes because he suddenly realizes they're long lost brothers. The ink symbolizes that. On another note, I can't believe we didn't see a reaction to the "panty on your head," line. Otherwise, good job. Now, if I may, I recommend The Jerk starring Steve Martin. Keep up the good work.

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of the Coen brothers. As a fellow Tennessean I cannot recommend "O Brother Where art Thou" enough. All Coen Brothers movies are great, though.

[@katmaven]

So glad you watched this, Ash! Love it! One of my favorite Cohen Brothers movies! I am gonna have to throw another one of my all-time favorites into the hat: "Clue." It's funny, cast well, and has a great whodunit element. DOOO IIIIIT!!

[@JG-fv9bv]

"True Romance " or "Blazing Saddles" or "3000 Miles to Graceland"

[@Novaximus]

Great choice of movie. My favorite guy was the sassy old clerk selling the balloons. Your reactions were hilarious :p

[@kookoothebirdgirl1]

Best line of the movie...it’s just so truthful, you know?

[@romaugustine729]

Hope you look up Dreamscape I believe It's in the 80s plus I've never seen this movie either

[@janeseparks7832]

Ashleigh, I’ve really enjoyed your reaction videos. I especially appreciate your honesty. It seems that in other reaction videos, the reviewers like everything suggested to them. With you, if you don’t like a movie, you say so. Bravo!

[@radiof00le]

Btw, the yodeling mixed with banjo are a riff on Beethoven's 9th Symphony

[@ThePorpoisepower]

Pete Seeger's Goofin' off Suite. (If you ever want to listen to it on you tube on account of how awesome it is)

[@otisroseboro5613]

Love seeing your reactions to this great classic movie

[@trueopsimath]

Another young Nicolas Cage movie you would like is Moonstruck. He costars with Cher

[@tracyfrazier7440]

I just made the same recommendation.

[@jonathanross149]

Do you love him Loretta?

[@Braedensground]

also starring Olympia Dukakis that was Miss Clairee in 'Steel Magnolias'

[@supernova7073]

Yes! Nicolas Cage, Cher, and Olympia Dukakis - great movie!

[@myoung7654]

As a John Goodman fan you have to see Arachnophobia. The film is like being on a rollercoaster as it swings wildly between a horror film and a screwball comedy over and over again. As someone who doesn't like spiders you will be both scared and exhilarated.

[@Gargess]

You mentioned you're in the Tennessee Valley and you never heard a good old murder ballad? Anyway, glad you liked this movie! It's a fave of mine.

[@robertmccauley754]

This video made me so happy. Thanks for taking the time!

[@habitsrabbit]

Not only is this my favorite Nic Cage film, but it's also special to me since I live in Arizona lol

[@awkwardashleigh]

Double Whammy!

[@Nope2022HugeTheWarningFan]

My favorite comedy. Ever! I happened to have been thinking about this today while working. With this covid-666 happening and all, everyone looks like a bank robber, so I mentioned to a co-worker, "How are we gonna know if someone is gonna rob the place when everyone is wearing a mask...?" Got me thinking of the old guy and the rest of the bank not dropping to the floor because they're frozen! Then I happened upon this reaction and had to click! Glad you enjoyed it. I don't even know who you are, because this is my first time watching anything with you, thus I am happy tonight. Thank you...!

[@tazgamerplays]

Watch The Big Lebowski, I really want to see your reaction to that movie.

[@drake128]

I had this on DvD with polish subtitles , my father in law came over to the UK from Poland and I put this on one evening. A few times during we had to pause whilst he wiped tears from his eyes . .. this and trains planes and automobiles ( not sure if you’ve seen that ) another crying with laughter and a very touching ending.

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

You should watch a few more Coen Brothers movies: Fargo The Big Lebowski No Country for Old Men

[@ThePorpoisepower]

Oh Brother, Where are though?

[@thewilman11]

A flower!!!! Whoosh!! Sizzle!! 😂😂

[@jd-no7rw]

So, I'll recommend since you love Close Encounters, and like John Goodman and Holly Hunter, watch Always. Also, one of my guilty pleasure movies, because it's so ridiculous, is Weird Science. 3rd recommendation is another Nicolas Cage movie, with the wonderful Kathleen Turner, is Peggy Sue Got Married - which is somewhat a sci fi/time travel movie.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

OMG!! I love this movie!! I saw this in the theater with my mother, after I graduated, in 1987!! We also saw Untouchables, and Secret of My success, which were both excellent as well. :)

[@sparroni]

The meaning of the tattoos: It's of the cartoon character Woody Woodpecker. The biker gang the Peckerwoods adopted it as their symbol. H.I. probably joined the gang while in prison. That he and Smalls share the same tattoo implies that he's what H.I. might become if he were to turn to the Dark Side, so to speak.

[@daremo5284]

Smalls mentioned that he had been sold on the baby black market, I always thought that he and hi having the same tattoo meant they were brothers

[@johnclements5277]

I thought it was the thrush muffler bird

[@ArtiZockt]

13:34 I just love Beans. First he listens to your stretching story, then the very next second he checks out your cieling like: "What? I know you tall, human, but all the way to the cieling? Damn..."

[@DJ_UNeK]

If you liked Holly Hunter, you'll like the movie, "Always" and it had John Goodman.

[@jd-no7rw]

I know a lot of people weren't crazy for that movie, but I loved it. And you forgot Richard Dreyfuss who starred in Always and Close Encounters.

[@ExUSSailor]

You can never go wrong with the Coen Brothers! The Big Lebowski, Fargo, and, Burn After Reading are all must watch movies!

[@alexanderbutler346]

Lord of the rings trilogy or Jaws next. Both are great. Or if you want to see another Coen Brothers movie, you could always go with The Big Lebowski.

[@awkwardashleigh]

I've heard I need to watch the Big Lebowski - I'll add it to the list.

[@donaldb1]

@@awkwardashleigh You definitely should. And if you like it you should also watch _Oh Brother, Where Art Thou._

[@TimothySmiths]

Watching this a second time i noticed after you stretched and said about getting your hands hit in ceiling fan ..Beans was sitting there looking up afterwards..made me laugh.

[@verasileikis17]

A great young Nicholas Cage movie is Moonstruck. It’s a unique romantic comedy and Cher won an Oscar for her performance.

[@robertgetz529]

Another fun fact for you on the cast. The boss that was a swinger was best known for playing Doug's supervisor O'Boyle on King of Queens series

[@nealabbott6520]

"son, you got a panty on your head" - best movie line ever

[@churchofthegoldenone4577]

Loved this reaction so mych I watched again. One of my all time favorites.

[@thefatman2780]

THIS IS A GOSH DARN AMERICAN TREASURE OF A MOVIE

[@awkwardashleigh]

HAHAHAAH

[@AtlantaTerry]

Ashleigh, I would like to get in line early for a Halloween suggestion: Tod Browning's "Freaks", a poignant 1932 B&W film featuring actual circus side-show human oddities such as The Living Torso, The Bearded Lady, Siamese Twins, etc. I doubt if anyone here has seen it much less heard of it. "Freaks" was banned in the UK for 30 years but is now on the US National Film Registry as "culturally significant".

[@sparky6086]

"Raising Arizona" was a huge hit, when it came out. It made big stars out of Holly Hunter and Nicolas Cage. Nick's been able to coast on the momentum he got from "Raising Arizona ever since, and I think, that's why, he's a bit inconsistent in his subsequent performances.

[@dnf-dead]

Not long discovered your channel and I am enjoying your reactions. Keep up the good work and good luck with the channel.

[@fmatson]

"Who the hell is he?" - That would be Randall Tex Cobb, the greatest man who ever lived.

[@88wildcat]

The man who got Howard Cosell to stop doing broadcasts of professional boxing.

[@Billicyhot]

Next time she thinks of how much she hates his character she can watch a youtube video of Larry Holmes beating the crap out if him

[@kalinlee3792]

Love this movie lmao Oh brother where art thou next💜💜❤❤

[@DoomerONE]

If you like Holly Hunter and John Goodman.........get the movie “Always” trust me when I say it will move you.

[@jtilton5]

It's a great movie, sadly underated.

[@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710]

Audrey Hepburn's final film.

[@Nope2022HugeTheWarningFan]

I hate Always. Why is it I hate all these recommended movies? Oh well... Well, except Raising Arizona...

[@spidermonkeysumo]

Big Lebowski, Willow, Goonies, RoboCop, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves...there are so many great ones!

[@JediWindex]

Sticking with the theme of Arizona you should watch Fire in the Sky.

[@ny80smania]

Hey, Im a millennial born in ‘89...2 years after this was released & my mom has this on VHS...as a young black kid living in the hood, I have very fond memories of growing up w/ this classic movie being constantly played on the big living room television! 😂

[@AudieHolland]

Holly Hunter. Watch her in "The Piano." Please.

[@awkwardashleigh]

Never heard of it. I'll look into it!

[@AudieHolland]

@@awkwardashleigh ;-) I remembered after you commented how gorgeous Holly Hunter is in this movie.

[@Aldebaron-fp3ef]

I watched The Piano in a theatre with friends. We were late and had to sit on the front row looking straight up into the screen. When the end credits rolled I found I had become so absorbed into that movie that I forgot who I came with. It was an amazing piece of cinema. Holly won an Oscar for it and her movie daughter Anna Paquin, age 9, won Best Supporting Actress.

[@AudieHolland]

@@Aldebaron-fp3ef The movie also showcases two brilliant role reversals. The ever cool, "Reilly Ace of Spies" Sam Neill playing the hopeless husband. And Keitel, best remembered by his role as utterly corrupt, abusive cop in "Bad Lieutenant" playing the noble hero.

[@phatcartoon]

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid... and it is still one of my all-time favorites. Glad to see people today are still enjoying it. You should check out some more Cohen Brother movies.
