Rating: 9/10 (13 April 2019)

Just chiming in after reading, and laughing, at some reviews by obviously teen and 20 somethings, (based on the literacy level). They seem to be feeling a bit left out by the vibe, humour, storyline and characters. They just don't seem to get the whole dude, hippy perspective of the world and his current situation. The don't get the nihilists, the loose cannon/ outspoken viet vet, Donny the much ignored bowling friend that the Dude and Walter know almost nothing about....anyway, it seems that a bit of background generation knowledge is required to enjoy this movie. Always will be a unique classic in my book.
