Summary: Worth watching over and over
Review: Few movies are so well done that they are enjoyable to watch repeatedly, but I continue to view this one every couple months or so. If you get out of the house now and then, and don't live a sheltered life, you will recognize the characters in this film. You're bound to be reminded of someone you have met or know, and that always makes for a good story.

Summary: But thats just like.... Your Opinion Man...
Review: This is one of those laugh until you fall on the floor funny comedies. One of the most overlooked great films of the 1990's. Next to Fargo Joel and Ethan's best movie in my humble opinion.

Summary: A very funny movie
Review: The characters, the lines, the music. I love this show. Non-stop laughs. I'll list some key parts of the movie to let you know if the comedy is your flavor.
-mentions a porno movie named "Log Jammin'" and shows a clip from it(yes it has wah-wah guitar).
-a Hispanic pedophile bowler (and snappy dresser) named Jesus.
-"this is what happens when you f**k another man in the a**, Larry."
-"shut the f**k up Donnie."
-"Let me tell you something, bendeco. You pull any of your crazy s**t with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away form you and stick it up your a** and pull the f**ning trigger til it goes click".
The people who gave this movie 1 star are either Carrot Top fans or they didn't watch the movie. I've seen it probably 10 times. I don't normally watch movies more than once. It gets funnier and funnier every time. Very gratuitous use of the "F" word.

Summary: WTF
Review: I'm a fan of the quirky, the random, and the off-beat. I found this film to be all of these things, as well as quite funny, but ultimately, the quirky humor couldn't quite compensate for the lack of substance in the storyline. The absurdity of the situations, the dialogue, and especially the characters and their idiosyncracies (especially Walter's inability to stop bringing up "'Nam") brings much to the table, but by the time Jeff "The Dude" Bridges fixes his seventh or eighth White Russian, it makes you wonder when something's going to happen. A great film to rent if you've got nothing to do on a Thursday night, but I'd say you'd have to be a Coen Brothers/Goodman/Bridges fanatic before buying it.

Summary: If I had to pick a favorite comedy......
Review: I would pick the Big Lebowski. Granted, It's not comedy for everyone, some people somewhere out there have to like Rob Schneider's comedy right? Thankfully I don't have to hang out with any those people and thankfully movies that are intelligent, dark, and hilarious like the Big Lebowski get made. I'm not going to summarize the plot, people here have done good enough job of that, what I will do is tell you this movie is hilarious and give a short list of the type of comedies I'm fond of to help gauge where you would stand if you watched this movie. I like Billy Madison, Baseketballs, Very Bad Things, Eddie Murphy Delirous, Clerks. If you liked those you are most likely intelligent and would probably like this movie. It's at least worth your time to watch.

Summary: One of the best comedies of all time!
Review: Not many people know about this movie. The Coen brothers did this and it is an underrated masterpiece. All the actors did an excellent job. John Goodman was hilarious and this was undoubtedly his best performance. John Tuturo was also funny as 'jesus' and just remarkable. Jeff Bridges, as the main star, did an outstanding job as usual as 'the dude'. There are so many one-liners in this movie that it's ridiculous. It's one of those movies you can watch over and over and still laugh out loud at. In the days where movie critics are a joke, no one really knows who knows whether a movie is good or not. Well, trust me, if you're in for a hilarious movie with an intelligent script and not you're average teenage comic rehash, check this movie out. It's original and I promise you'll be glad you did!

Summary: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR INSOMANIA
Review: This movie is Terrible. I am not sure which one stinks most, Murphys' "Holy man", this movie or "Manhattan" by Woody Allen. These kind of movies should be label "sleeping movies"

Summary: Great Performances captured in an abstract masterpiece
Review: This is one of those movies where you own the DVD and have watched it 10 times, but when it comes on cable you can't turn it off. Almost every actor in this Cohen Brothers' masterpiece turns in a character acting performance that is absolutely stunning. John Goodman steals the show as a violent, overweight Vietnam veteran who can't control his anger at bowling tournaments. Julianne "Before I was famous" Moore plays an offkey role as an eccentric, butch haircut feminist. John Turturro plays a child molesting bowler named Jesus who even John Goodman doesn't want to get near. Jeff Bridges is bland but brilliant.The movie meshes from scene to scene with effortless cinematography that could only be drafted from the minds of Joel and Ethan Cohen. The dream sequences are absolutely over the top, and the dialogue is brilliant in its simplicity. Score one for "The Dude" this move definitely prevails. One of my top 10 of all time.

Summary: Cult Classic
Review: What a great movie! Everyone who loves this movies knows why, its the interaction of the characters and their reactions to each other. John Goodman is priceless as Walter, and I can't watch Jeff Bridges in any other movies without wondering where his goatee went. The Coens are genuises, only they could pull off a movie like this and people who appreciate (extremely) dry humor will love this movie!

Summary: It doesn't get any funnier than this!
Review: The Big Lebowski is without a doubt my favorite film. Why? Because unlike 99% of all comedies, it makes me laugh just as much every single time I watch it. In fact, it only gets better and better the more I watch it! The Coen Brothers are the best filmmakers out there right now, and The Big Lebowski is their most underrated little gem. Overlooked and misunderstood when it was initially released back in 1998, do make sure you check it out if you are one of those who never got around to seeing it back then - you won't be sorry you did. The DVD itself might not be the greatest out there in terms of bonus material, but considering the Coen brothers have never been big on bonus materials it could've been a lot worse as the DVD comes with a nice 30 minute interview with the Coen brothers themselves as well as main cast members. The DVD also includes a teaser trailer as well as cast and filmmaker biographies. The video quality is superb. Clean, sharp and free of any print flaws, specks, etc. it is a terrific video transfer. The sound is equally terrific (for this type of film). It might not be a reference quality disc you'd take out to impress friends with, but it gets the job done very nicely. Highly recommended!
