A string of gems.

Rating: Null/10 (15 May 2000)

Each scene stands alone as a gem of absurdity and harmony. It's great. The Dude's clothes? - perfectly ugly. Beautiful. Walter's expression during Jesus' warning... For me by far the best line first time through was "I don't F****** roll on Shabbos". Being shomer Shabbos myself, if I had been drinking milk at the time, I feel sorry for the people sitting in front of me. I do wonder how that line and the following explanation struck those who were not familiar with the Jewish Sabbath. Now, my favorite line is, "well, that's just like, ah, your opinion, man." I love it. And let's not forget "we still want the money, Lebowski". I think this movie must be the greatest provider of great quotes ever.
I also enjoy the flashbacks now brought to me every time I hear Just Dropped In or Lookin' Out My Back Door. Oh, no, he has health problems. That's my robe. That's your name, Dude. The landlord's dance. The p*d off cabbie Eagles fan. Fawn Knudson. Opening scene of the joy of bowling. The Dude's ID. Again, his clothes. A string of gems.
