The Dude Abides

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2015)

The Coens' best film but that's, like, my opinion man. Jeff Bridges with a career-best performance. He IS The Dude, one of cinema's most charismatic and lovable characters. Talking about memorable characters, John Goodman's Walter Sobchak has some of the best lines of dialogue that the Coens' have written with perfect timing. Easily one of the funniest films of the 20th century. Infinitely rewatchable and quotable. Sam Elliot plays the best depiction of God-that-isn't-God on screen. The Coens' reinvent the film-noir genre with their masterpiece. The Coens' are true auteurs and The Big Lebowski is their finest work to date.
