One of those movies I can watch every time it’s on. It has everything, life’s highs, life’s lows, good over evil.
And it’s one of the greatest quotable movies, behind “Major League”.

I'll give you this, but the other takeaways don't seem very fitting.

Would you buy furniture from a place called Unpainted Huffines?

No. Monty Python's The Meaning of Life is the best Meaning of life movie

Arguably, the greatest comedy of all time

I’ve watched Raising Arizona no less than 30 times and I’d watch it 30 more. It’s hilarious in SO many ways.

Hey, Oldtimer, these balloons blow up into funny shapes and all?

Well no, unless round is funny.

I guess I'm not deep enough to get it on that level. Great quotes, but I've never really been captivated by it like I know I'm supposed to be.

But thinking about the subject, I want to watch Magnolia again. It blew me away when I first watched it, but I was much younger and maybe more impressionable. And probably a lot drunker.

I'd also put Rushmore up there in terms of a quirky comedy that underneath the surface has something truly poignant to say about life and happiness.
