Raising Arizona
A 1987 Coen Brothers comedy film about a convenience store robber and a police officer who marry and, unable to conceive, kidnap one of a furniture tycoon's quintuplets.
The film's manic energy, exaggerated characters, and distinctive visual style established the Coens' reputation for genre-bending filmmaking.
