There are a lot of facets to this

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2018)

This is a character based comedy and you really need to watch it 3-4 times to appreciate it.
If you want a film that gets from A to B then you'll hate this film. If you want something to watch with the wife/gf this isn't for you. If you want something obvious or mainstream this isn't for you. If you care about plots, suspense etc. this isn't going to be your cup of tea. The people I know that like this film tend to be film connoisseurs, intellectual males, peaceful, well balanced individuals.
The Coen Brothers went all out on this film. Every member of the cast made the performance of their career in this film, the cinematography is fantastic, there are so many scenes to be seen, the soundtrack is brilliant etc. etc. but what this film is all about is the dialogue. If you're a fan of films like Pulp Fiction and Fight Club where it's the excellent dialogue that brings you back then this is the ultimate film for you.
I watched this by myself on a movie channel around the time of its release and a couple of years later when my younger brother told me to watch this film I couldn't remember a thing about it. I gave it another watch and half enjoyed it. My brother convinced me to watch it again so I did. This time I loved it and by the time I'd seen it 4 times it became my favourite film of all time.

After 3-4 viewings you think Jeff Bridges' 'Dude' character is the greatest movie character of all time and that he should have won an Oscar. But by the time you've seen it 6+ you realise that the greatest movie character of all time is actually John Goodman's 'Walter' and it is he who should have received an Oscar for this film.
The more you watch it the more you understand the characters and find it more and more funny.
You end up with one of the most quotable films and find it hard to believe that any movie fan doesn't like it.
This is just my opinion man.
