Make me laugh

Raising Arizona wins out for me. I think it is the funniest of all of them and for me laughing trumps tragedy. Fargo is great and Lebowski? Well, The Dude abides. Hudsucker Proxy is a good film though not great, but has funny bits I like.

Arizona just has more great lines.

Hayseed in the Pickup: Son, you got a panty on your head.

 


FBI Agent: Sir, we discovered you were born Nathan Huffheins.
Nathan Arizona Sr.: Yeah, I changed my name. What of it?
FBI Agent: Can you give us an indication why?
Nathan Arizona Sr.: Would you shop at a store called Unpainted Huffheins?

 

Gale: Why ain't you breast-feeding? You appear to be capable.
Ed McDonnough: Mind your own bid'ness.
Evelle: Ma'am, you don't breast-feed him, he'll hate you for it later. That's why we wound up in prison.
Gale: Anyway, that's what Doc Schwartz tells us.

 

H.I.: Edwina's insides were a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase.

 

H.I.: I tried to stand up and fly straight, but it wasn't easy with that sumbitch Reagan in the White House. I dunno. They say he's a decent man, so maybe his advisors are confused.

 

Nathan Arizona Sr.: Dammit, are you boys gonna chase down your leads or are you gonna sit drinkin' coffee in the one house in the state where I know my boy ain't at?

Whoa! You left some off the list!

Barton Fink

The Hudsucker Proxy

How many did you think I was going to put on there?

I picked the most popular ones.  

Barton Fink and Hudsucker didn't exactly wow the critics or the public.  I also didn't include "A Serious Man" or "Miller's Crossing" which I thought were fantastic.
