The Dude abides... I take comfort in that

Rating: Null/10 (4 November 2000)

Where to begin? This is my all time favourite film. That's a start, I suppose. This, like Pulp Fiction, is one of those films that just exude coolness. Cool is the best way to describe the main character of the film, The Dude, a man who ambles through life in a haze of ganja smoke and freaky dreams. He also loves bowling. Featuring some of the greatest characters (and indeed performances) in film history, TBL tells a wonderfully imaginitive story, that, although is disjointed, is held together by the Coens' trademark flair for dialogue and repeating of themes. A celebration of every no-hoper in the world, TBL has a lot to say - it just can't be bothered to say it. Come on man, let's go bowling...
