" ... knock back a few coca-colas " - i rarely quote films, but use this all the time.

"You ate Sand?"

to the poster with the wonderfully worded "Wut" .. yes, i do rank it up as the greatest or one of the greatest comedies ever. The 11 minute opening sequence alone makes it a contender. Absolutely brilliant filmmaking. Not to mention the acting, music .... it's all there and makes it the perfect watch.

That sumbitch. You tell him, I think he's a damn fool, Ed. You tell him I said so - H.I. McDonnough. If he wants to discuss it, he knows where to find me: in the Maricopa County Maximum Security Correctional Facility For Men State Farm, Road Number 31, Tempe, Arizona! I'LL BE WAITIN'! I'll be waitin'.

Possibly the greatest comedy of all time. Definitely, the most quotable movie of all times. The Coen brothers can damn sure make a quotable movie.

Raising Arizona
Oh Brother Where Art Thou
Airplane
The Big Lebowski

The lines in these movies are works of art. If I turn on the tv and one of them is on...I'm watching it. I don't care how many times I've already seen it.

Everything about this scene is sheer perfection. The dialogue. The scenery. The acting. The cinematography. Everything!

Some of my favorite parts don’t even have dialogue.
