The Big Lebowski

"One of the most iconic films from the Coen brothers ('No Country for Old Men', 'Fargo') and it's no surprise. After all, 'The Big Lebowski' is one of those movies that almost became a religion. The character The Dude, brilliantly portrayed by Jeff Bridges, is real, so fun and so identifiable that he became a true icon of pop culture. Best of all, this absurd story of a man trying to get his rug back doesn't just revolve around its protagonist. Firstly, the script is delightfully bizarre -- from this quest for the rug, The Dude gets involved with gangsters, mob millionaires and a suitcase full of briefs. It's hard not to have fun with the chaos. Moreover, the other characters are almost equally fascinating. Jesus (John Turturro) appears for only a few minutes, but still adorns t-shirts today. Donny (Steve Buscemi) has a very particular strangeness. And Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) is a stressed out war veteran responsible for some of the most iconic scenes in the movie -- the ashes sequence on the cliff is hilarious. In short: 'The Big Lebowski' is an absolute classic of comedy that will make anyone laugh out loud."
