One of the best ever

Rating: 9/10 (30 January 1999)

The Big Lebowski is one of the very few comedies that actually gets better every time you watch it. The characters are some of the best to ever be created in movie making history: The Dude, Walter, Donny, Jesus Quintana, and the Nihilists. There are about (total) 20 slow minutes in the movie, and the rest of it is absolutely hilarious. John Goodman's performance as Walter is Oscar material, and definitely my favorite character of any movie I've ever seen, from giving his choice words to Donny to relating just about everything that happens to Vietnam. The conversations at the bowling alley are classics. In 1998, I saw two of the best comedies I've ever seen: There's Something About Mary, and The Big Lebowski, and The Big Lebowski wins hands down. I'll just leave you with this:
Walter: (speaking about Quintana) He spent 6 months in Chino for exposing himself to an 8 year old. When he moved to Hollywood he had to go door to door and tell his neighbors he was a paedorast.
Donny: What's a paedorast, Walter?
Walter: Shut the f*** up Donny.
