| Nelson_Mandela 05/29/19 2:32:20 PM #179: | #188. The Big Lebowski https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/35/Biglebowskiposter.jpg Dir: Joel and Ethan Coen Genre: Comedy, Crime Year: 1988 The Big Lebowski is everyone's favorite Coen Brothers movie but also no one's favorite Coen Brothers movie. I guess what I mean by that is that if you told someone they had to watch a Coen Brothers movie at this very moment, regardless of whatever mood they were in or where they were, I think they would pick Lebowski. But, interestingly, I'm not sure anyone would pick it as the best when really pressed about it (that would go to Fargo, No Country for Old Men, or a deeper cut for the real fans). Why did I think it was important to write that? I guess it just helps highlight what a confusing legacy this movie has on the internet. I've seen people scream that it's overrated and I've seen it as the very top of peoples' all-time lists. My take is that it's an excellent movie with some really hilarious and iconic scenes, but it's not the Coen Brothers' best film and it's not something to base your personality around. However, it's easily the most enjoyable to watch with a group of friends out of their filmography, and if you haven't had a Lebowski White Russian hang night, you haven't lived. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
