On March 6, 1998, a little movie called “The Big Lebowski” opened in half-empty theaters across the country, and anyone expecting the Coen brothers to get serious for their follow-up to the Oscar-winning “Fargo” was in for a very chill surprise. A dopey but profound slacker noir about a guy — a conscientious objector to all human conflict — whose quest to avenge a soiled rug unravels into a wild goose chase involving all sorts of inherent vice, “The Big Lebowski” may not have been much of a hit at the box office, but it took on a life of its own after that.
One of the greatest movies ever. It should be absolutely terrible, but you can’t stop watching it.
One of my favorite movies of all time. One I seek to own. Absolutely hilarious.
A satire of the slacker doofus lifestyle.
I HATE the f***ing Eagles!

“You’re entering a world of pain.”
Bowling’s like beer, man. It’s all good.
Especially the scene where the landlady made Woody eat -—— to pay his rent.
John Goodman’s reaction to the thumb in the Diner just cracks me up every time I see it.
One hell of a funny scene.
You beat me to it. Stay out of Malibu.
MARK IT ZERO!!!
Jack: “What, you? I don’t get this at all. I thought Lo Pan....”
Lo Pan: “Shut up Mr. Burton. You are not brought upon this world to ‘get it.’”
LOL nothing like quoting a cult movie in a thread on another cult movie!
Agree completely.
After all, I didn’t watch my buddies die face down in the muck . . . .
See references to it constantly, but just another movie I have never seen.
Fun movie. I liked it.
You can rent it cheap just about anywhere.
Well worth your time and money.
> Dumb then, dumb now.
Yeah man, that’s like your opinion.
Pinky toe.
“No, Donny, these men are nihilists, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Ya, well, you know, that’s just your opinion man...
Second only to Caddyshack, which is nothing short of a cinematic marvel.
