Much like a Coen brothers comedy, our Movies of 1987 bracket game got a little crazy in spots. But after an unprecedented three-way vote in the finals, we have a definitive winner. Readers picked Raising Arizona as their favorite movie of the year. Ironically, both Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter starred in movies that were both more popular and more acclaimed thirty years ago. Cage starred opposite Cher in Norman Jewison’s Moonstruck and Hunter was part of the central love triangle in Broadcast News. But three decades later, those movies have faded from relevance while Arizona, which was more or less ignored in theaters, shines bright.
