The Big Lebowski

The German nihilists, the feminist artist, the porn manager, the crazy phedophile, the crippled fake business tycoon, the Vietnam-war obsessed psycho and off course the Dude: a lazy deadbeat lowlife. The Big Lebowski sure has a lot of colourful personages which in my opinion is one of the reasons this movie is one of the best i have ever seen.

This is one of the many masterpieces from the Coen brothers, i wish i could congratulate them myself because they are geniuses. The music, the script and the cast are beyond fantastic. This is a masterpiece that only comes along in movies a few times in a decade. This is one of those movies that is and always will be a cult classic. I cannot say that this is the best movie that the Coen brothers ever made, but only because they made so many exceptional movies. But its definitely high up the list.

My favorite part is Gutterballs, when the Dude has some kind of hallucination. The music was just perfect together with the show Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore put on. I can't tell you how often i saw that part, that was just awesome.

Anyone should see this movie at least once in his lifetime. But once you've seen it i can guarantee you that you want to see it again.

The Dude is that kind of guy that you'd love to be in your family as an uncle or something but you'll hate to be him ahaha love this movie

"That rug really tied the room together."

I got the chance to see my all time favorite movie on the big screen and that is the way to see it. It was a crowded theater full of people (one was even dressed like Maude in Gutterballs) who love the movie and knew all the jokes that were coming but still laughed hard at them. Out of the countless times I've seen this, this was my favorite time. Infinitely quotable and never dull... the Dude abides.

"Am I wrong?"

yeah? well, you know, thats just like uh, your opinion, man.

By far one of the greatest movies of all time.

"This aggression will not stand man"

"That rug really tied the room together"

"Shut the fuck up Donny"

Every time I watch this film my face hurts. I sit there with a stupid wide grin laughing at the crazy, no...insane characters that make this story great. The way that the film is book ended by the narration of "The Stranger" (Sam Elliot) and the way he drops in to visit "The Dude" (Jeff Bridges) is a blast. And speaking of The Dude, I can't think of a role I like Bridges in more. A slacker who ends up caring about more than his soiled rug, and finds he is the only sane person in a world filled with misfits.

In the middle of all of the craziness, there are moments that are genuinely emotional as well. But thankfully those don't take too long before the hilarity returns. I'd say this is a comedy, but it's not a stupid Jack Black or Seth Rogen style farce. It's a little stoned, a little dark and even a little shocking at times.

Although I haven't seen all of the Coen Brothers films, so far, this one ranks as my personal favorite.

abdolute cult, you must know the dude

All time high!
This movie belongs in every collection. Next to Pulp Fiction, Snatch and Cold Blooded.
White Russian, Baby!

High on my list of desert island movies, Lebowski is an endlessly rewarding modern classic that seems to yield something fresh with every screening. Jeff Bridges, John Goodman and Steve Buscemi may have been able to carry this thing by themselves, staggered around a rickety old bowling lane with just a wardrobe and a copy of the Coen brothers' script, but when their performances are matched by a blindingly colorful supporting cast, a plot that swerves around like a drunken driver and the brothers' unmistakable eye for subtlety, the end result is pure magic. I could watch this three times a year and never get tired of it.
