Lebowski?

JD, I wouldn't pass too much judgement on the film, as a Cohen bros work it's one of the better cult-classic movies and features some of John Goodman and Steve Buchemi's best works (I dressed up as Goodman's character, Walt, for Halloween one year).

It does feature a lot of profanity, in fact during a cameo appearance by a fairly distinctive actor, he brings it to the main character's attention. The quote that is mentioned "The Dude Abides", is from this cameo appearance, relaying to the audience how Bridge's character is kinda like a zen-guru for those of us that take life too seriously, "takin it easy for all of us sinners".

But the whole movie is more or less the knocks and scrapes associated with being such a slacker.

I agree with Joshua. The Cohen brothers movies have always been one step removed from main stream Hollywood but they seem to line up big name actors like Jeff Bridges. Its the quirkiness of their movies which causes the cult like following.

Another Cohen brothers movie I love is O Brother, Where Art Thou which stars George Clooney and John Turturro.

I only saw that one (O Brother) once, and that years ago but I remember loving it. Such an amazing soundtrack, too.

"The Big Labowski" is definitely an aquired taste. I watched it the first time and didn't care for it. Second time, I loved it. Go figure. You just have to relax into the movie and do away with your preconceived expectations for what the movie should be. "Napoleon Dynamite" is like that, too.

The song that plays during his hallucination is awesome just for the lyric "I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in".
