"The Dude abides."
One of the great cult films of the 1990s is this Coen brothers' classic. Jeff Bridges is at his best as a stoner named "Dude" Lebowski. When two thugs break into his house assuming he is the millionaire Lebowski and pee on his rug, the Dude sets out on an adventure that is peopled with quirky characters and centers around a kidnapping that may or may not have happened.
Circular dialog and quirky personalities make for a very funny movie. There's even a great Busby Berkley dance number built around bowling. John Goodman and Steve Buscemi become delightful side-kicks and such characters as John Turturro's bowler, Jesus Quintana, make for memorable quotes and moments.
If you haven't seen it, check it out on Netflix today.
