One you overlooked was night shots of Llewelyn and H.I. in bed (not with each other obviously). As a person who's seen both movies dozens of times, I concur in your analysis. To heck with the naysayers. Heck I say. Good work. One you overlooked was night shots of Llewelyn and H.I. in bed (not with each other obviously).

These are both superbly done, and belong on any sane person's List of 100 All-Time Greatest Films. dream.

NCFOLM seems like the dark side to Raising Arizona's lightness. The scene of the dog being about to strike and then being snapped back was the first real sense, but all of those you've listed (and the shot on the crow) are too true....looking forward to seeing NCFOLM again to try and make sense of it...also curious how true it is to the novel.

Raising A is one of my all time favorites too. So many others though. Did you like Muriel's Wedding? Well, I did. But then, I'm a chick so maybe it requires estrogen. Not sure. Anyway, interesting clip comparison. Now I need to see "No Country". thanks ;-D So cute! Raising A is one of my all time favorites too. So many others though. Did you like Muriel’s Wedding?
