1998
Joel and Ethan Coen film in which The Dude, Jeff Lebowski, has his home invaded and his rug micturated upon by thugs looking for a multi-millionaire Jeff Lebowski who is "disabled," according to his servant Brandt, and keeps a tidier house. Since the thugs were looking to collect a debt incurred by the wife of the multimillionaire Lebowski, The Dude goes to speak to him to get a new rug, and quickly becomes entangled in a kidnapping scheme. The plot is based very loosely on
Raymond Chandler's [The Big Sleep]
? and the
Humphrey Bogart film of that book, but has been modernized and revolves around drugs and [ten pin bowling]
?, and makes liberal use of the
Gulf War as a backdrop. Stars [Jeff Bridges]
?, [John Goodman]
?, [Julianne Moore]
?, [John Turturro]
?, and [Steve Buscemi]
?.
Someone should without a doubt write a full review, but I just wanted to say quickly that this is one of the funniest movies that I have ever seen, and one of the few movies that I have seen more than 10 times. (I've actually lost count on this one.)
