Crime – Where Classic Movies Live On

RAISING ARIZONA (1987)

A live action cartoon from the Coen Brothers about Nicolas Cage kidnapping babies, but for love. A personal favorite.

Sidney Poitier has to solve a murder in a small southern town that hates him. A great social movie but kind of a blah procedural.

This all-encompassing sequel involves at least two separate movies that never quite meet.

Francis Ford Coppola’s mafia epic is now fixed in American culture.

Scorsese’s most cutting exploration of the gangster lifestyle. I like the movie. The lifestyle’s not for me.

A lot more people know the idea of it than have actually seen it, but it really is worth watching.

A movie that launched legendary careers and an entire classic genre of film, and is also pretty fun in its own right.
