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.

I did not really like it. Or really did not like it, haha. After 10 minutes of watching are hearing the word fuck/ing about 50 times, I wanted to just quit watching, but I held on until the end. Some lines were really funny though, but the movie in general.. nah, not for me. // EDIT (four years later): Full disclosure, I only finished this because it was an assignment for my Film Studies class. So I couldn't bear to drop it. I _cared_ for that class. I lived and breathed for that class. But well, I would've dropped if given another option.

I'm not sure how I feel about The Big Lebowski. A complaint I have with the Coen brothers' movies is that they often seem to sort of meander, their plots are just a series of events which don't really have much consequence. Why should I care what happens to anybody in their films? I guess this was more of an issue with Inside Llewyn Davis, at least something actually happened in The Big Lebowski. Some of the dialogue and performances, especially by Goodman, are pretty great though.

"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?"

You can watch it a million times, and yet, it will never get old.
