The Big Lebowski turns 20. Far out, dude.

Shut The F' Up Donnie!

Damn, I love this movie. : )

 

my favorite line as stated above...

 

What the hell is this? My dirty undies. Laundry, Dude. The whites.

 

"You mean coitus?"

 

...when you find a stranger inthe Alps.

Wow. When I first saw this my initial reaction was, what the hell did I just watch?

Then I was telling a friend of mine about it, eventually he bought me a copy of the dvd. From then on....hooked. Abided!!

Gimme another Caucasian, I’m goin’ bowling.

 

"Phone's ringing, Dude!"
Saw it in the theater, and loved it! I try and watch it about once a year! Never gets old!

 

That's funny every time I see it. More so because of the phone being the big, bulky bag type. Like no one would notice it freaking ringing.

 

i, too...saw it in the theaters...
Where I went (Gold Coast Casino), they gave a free round of bowling to everyone of us that purchased a ticket!...There weren't many.....

 

As the proud owner of it on Laserdisc, and having seen it in the theaters all I can say is, "parla usted ingles"...

 

Saw it twice in theaters. First time it was enjoyable. Went back and laughed through the entire movie. The dialog is so great. You catch a lot more the 2nd, 3rd or 15th time you see it

Me not getting it in 1998.

 

One of my favorite comedies.

Can't believe it's 20 years old.

John Goodman as Walter was hilarious..

 

Donnie you're out of your element!

 

Any movie with Ben Gazara is worth seeing.

 

Tarantino was good in the nineties also.

 

My dad doesnt usually like comedies. But if its good he will laugh his **** off. He laughed his **** off. He was pretty sure he knew about 20 Walters from his time in ‘Nam.

 

Phillip Seymour Hoffman flapping his arms in embarrassment in that scene is one of the top bits of the film for me.

 

My favorite John Goodman performance, no doubt.

 

When I first saw The Big Lebowski in theaters, I thought John Goodman would surely get nominated for an Oscar. I am still surprised to this day that he didn't.

 

By the way, I saw on Twitter one of the big papers (New York Times? I can’t recall) did a story where they went back and interviewed all the critics who gave the movie negative reviews at the time to get their current takes. Probably worth reading. If I can locate it, I’ll post a link.

 

True Coen Brothers' classic, indeed...

 

Here it is. Washington Post.
Washington Post on Twitter

 

My favorite scene is when Walter dumps Donnie's ashes and the wind kicks up and they end up all over the Dude.

 

As evidenced by this thread, probably the greatest "quotable movie" of all time. But right behind it is The Princess Bride...

"Well Sir, this rug I had, it really tied the room together..."
