Cult classic with great performances... only gets better with age

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2006)

Is it just me or has this movie progressively gotten better every year since it was released like 8 years ago?
Just the setting of the film, the brilliant performances by John Goodman, Jeff Bridges, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, John Turturo, Julianne Moore, David Huddleston (millionaire lebowski)... besides it's so well written and is just a riot. How many memorable lines can you fit in one movie?
Lebowski is great as an almost tragic/flawed hero figure. He's a hard luck lazy stoner, yet you still get a feeling of greatness from him. From some of the things he tells us about his past and from his respected presence in the film, he's just truly a classic, unforgettable movie character. I still think the best role in the film is played by Goodman, who is absolutely f**king brilliant as Walter. I mean, admit it- who didn't forgive him for 8 years of Roseane on the spot? I like the slight philosophical under-text of the film and all the archetypes it portrays between the Dude, Walter, the Millionaire Lebowski, Maude Lebowski, nihilism, pacifism - and using it all as a punchline is hysterical.
Oh, and Turturo is immediately in the running for 'most memorable comedy cameo ever' with Jesus, the perverted foul-mouthed sh*t-talker. You said it man, a true cult classic in every sense.
