The Big Lebowski

1998

Directed by Joel Coen

They figured he was a lazy, time-wasting slacker. They were right.

Jeffrey 'The Dude' Lebowski, a Los Angeles slacker who only wants to bowl and drink White Russians, is mistaken for another Jeffrey Lebowski, a wheelchair-bound millionaire, and finds himself dragged into a strange series of events involving nihilists, adult film producers, ferrets, errant toes, and large sums of money.

yeah... well... you know... that’s just like uh... your opinion man
Review by Ben Daniels ★★★★★ 59

It's taken me a long time to figure out why The Big Lebowski is such a cult movie and isn't more popular. The Coen Brothers have made some huge films, so why don't more people know this? Especially since this film stars Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore and others. Surely people would know this movie? Well. No.
The simple reason I think this is a cult movie is because it is a character movie. A lot of people, mostly an audience not dedicated to loving film, go to a comedy movie for lots of gags. The Big Lebowski isn't funny because of it's gags. It can be, but only once or twice. This film is funny because…

Walter Sobchak: Look, Larry. Have you ever heard of Vietnam?
The Dude: Oh, for Christ's sake, Walter...

"No, Donny, these men are nihilists, there's nothing to be afraid of" is one of the funniest lines of dialogue ever put to screen.
Review by Elliot Jay Stocks ★★★★★ 16

The Big Lebowski is one of those rare films that gets better with every showing. Literally every single time, the charm of this movie reminds viewers that this is the Coen Brothers at their best.
