Schimmel died in 2010 in a car crash, sadly but appropriately, in Arizona.
Arizona Comedy Movies
Let’s go to the speed round and count down the 10 funniest movies set in Arizona. Extra points for Arizona being part of the joke. Ready, steady, go!
MGM
10. Bio-Dome Pauly Shore and one of the Baldwin Brothers Who Is Not Alex try to use the bathroom in what they believe to be a shopping mall. They get trapped in the closed ecological system, so full of lush bio-experiments that it doesn’t matter that it’s technically located in Arizona.
9. Beavis and Butt-head Do America – The animated idiots travel America — including a stop in Arizona. Not much of an Arizona movie, but at least it doesn’t star Pauly Shore.
8. Hamlet 2 – It’s not easy being a high school performing arts teacher in Tucson, Arizona, the town “where dreams go to die” (at least according to this movie). Good enough to premiere at Sundance, not funny enough to remember.
7. Evolution – Comedy icon Ivan Retiman directs David Duchovney investigating a hilarious meteor crash in, you guessed it, Arizona.
6. Stir Crazy – Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder rob an Arizona bank wearing woodpecker costumes. Guess you had to be there.
Warner Bros.
5. National Lampoon’s Vacation
CLARK: Come on, kids, let’s go.
ELLEN: Don’t you want to look at the Grand Canyon?
CLARK puts his arm around his wife and takes a two-second gaze.
CLARK: Great. Let’s go.
4. Bad Santa – A funny movie about a sex-addicted Santa who robs Arizona shopping malls. Otherwise, not too Arizona-y.
Twentieth Century Fox
3. Little Miss Sunshine – An Oscar-nominated comedy that features a road trip through Arizona on the way to the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pagaent. The car trip was actually shot in sequence as they traveled the Arizona highways.
