Brandt's nervous laughter to Bunny's offer is one of my favourite moments. Seconded on needing more original movies like this.

"Those are Mr. Lebowski's children." "Oh, different mothers?" 😂

I heard the Walter character (John Goodman) was loosely based on the writer/director John Milius, who supposedly carried a pistol and used to freak out the movie people with his antics. He was a real character. I've seen his daughter on Twitter talk about watching this movie and recognizing her father in a lot of what Goodman. What a great role.

The Dude abides...I am the walrus. Fantastic review on one of my favorite movies.

I once saw an interview with John Goodman where he said that this is his favorite movie that he's ever been in.

Glad you loved it! It’s one of the few films that gets better with every viewing because the real star is the script: the wordplay, for example the fact that certain phrases repeat in different contexts (“this aggression will not stand, man!”), is genius throughout. Bridges has said that he almost never rewatches his own films but if he catches this one before it gets to Turturro’s first Jesus scene, he has to watch at least long enough to see that brilliant cameo.

Loved you review. I was lucky to see this gem in the theatre in Norway when it came out. The poster had a sticker that read "Recommended by the Norwegian Bowling Association". What's great about this movie is that even the actors with tiny roles get a chance to shine. Like the cab driver, the detective, and the police officer where he picks up his car. There are so many memorable one-liners in this film, but my favorite is when Pilar says "Oh no....he got health problem". Biggest understatement ever !!

I've always said that was my favorite line. I was so stoked when Buscemi said in an interview it was his as well

When they cut to the three of them driving home from the confrontation with Larry (and his angry neighbour)… No windshield, and the Dude is leaning away from Walter, who is munching on a burger all care-free, while the Dude is seething. It’s subtle, but man is it funny.

A couple of fun facts; Jeff Bridges claimed The Dude was pretty much who he'd been in the 1970s. He asked the Coen brothers after reading the script "Did you guys hang out with me in high school?" An inspiration for the character of Walter is the Coen Brothers' friend, writer and director John Milius, with his obsession with all things militaristic, and an enthusiasm for guns, claims to be obsessed with the Vietnam War and also has very similar look to Walter himself. One of the nihilists was played by the bassist from Red Hot Chili Peppers. There are a number of fan theories also, one is about The Dude being The big Lebowski's Son. After the older Lebowski fathered an illegitimate son with his housemaid, she threatened to reveal their relationship to his wife. He pays her to keep quiet, and The Dude's mom uses this payment to create a trust fund for her son wich would explain why the Dude can do everything he does all day without having a real job.. Another theory is about Donny being a figment of Walter's imagination. "Walter is struggling with PTSD after his service in the Vietnam War, and Donny was perhaps a friend that he lost who Walter is now able to see and interact with. This theory is supported by the fact that, save for a few subtle occasions, Walter is the only one that interacts with Donny." One theory suggests Walter is hallucinating all of his friends' presence. "His delusions are aided by the people who work and bowl at the alley." The friends representing his fractured self; The Dude being a "laid back, easy-going old Stoner". "Donny represents Walters childhood naiveté. He is constantly out of his element, always confused, easily frightened and anxiety ridden."

Never seen John Goodman play a better part! Chemistry among the cast incredible! 🤠

One of my favorite little moments from this movie, that mostly goes unacknowledged, is that the sheriff of Malibu is a stereotype of a small-town rural sheriff...

"She probably kidnapped herself" "Huh?" LOL!! Gets me every time!!

You're so right, every aspect of this movie is brilliant filmmaking. It's a crime Bridges wasn't nominated for an Oscar. It's no coincidence that Steve Buscemi's character in Fargo never stopped talking, but in Lebowski (2 yrs later) rarely said a word! Coen Bros are amazing. True Grit and Burn After Reading are underrated!

You're right. This movie is perfect. The more times I watch it, the more I realize that it's one of best movies I've ever seen. It's too bad comedies don't get recognized like dramas do by the Oscars. Jeff Bridges, John Goodman and even Steve Buscemi were all perfectly cast. I still shed a tear for Donny at the end. I cared for these cast of characters. And YOU'RE reaction was by far the best I've seen on YT. They don't make them like this anymore. Thank you Coen Brothers.

This is a movie that you might even forget about your first time watching it, but if you watch it a second time you'll probably watch it 20 more times after that and it will become your favorite movie of all time. There's really nothing quite like it. It's basically Camus for the 20th century

A legendary comedy for a reason. Sometimes it's great to see gifted and profound auteurs/artists fuck around and just have fun with a film. This whole movie's goofy energy is so infectious

“He fixes the cable?” That’s how you would definitely know it was completely fictional. 😉

This is my favorite film ever. I'm so happy you got to see it. I enjoyed your reaction very much.

Thanks for doing this movie, it’s a classic and was mine and my late wife’s favorite movie! Came out the year we got married. She was from L.A. but she and I met and lived in Colorado our whole 25 year marriage. It definitely brought back some memories and lots of feelings watching it! So thanks again. Matt

I loved your outro regarding original movies (story-telling). It's hard to find modern movies this original. Other quirky movies from that time, Theres Something About Mary, Napoleon Dynamite, etc, are super fun as well. ❤

Oh yes, more reactors should react to these 90s comedy gems!

Your reaction made this movie even more fun and enjoyable. Thank you, lovely lady. 🤗 A similar Coen Brothers "weird dark-humor crime" film I'm sure you'd also like is "Fargo", featuring Frances McDormand, William Macy and Steve Buscemi in major roles. Buscemi's character in Big Lebowski was supposedly a nod or response to his character in Fargo. If you watch it I'm sure you'll get the connection.

This is one of those movies that you see new stuff every time you watch it)

Just found your channel and binged a few reactions. You’re one of my new favs! You always show enthusiasm and always have great commentary. Your energy is infectious 🔥🤟

There's a bar in Glasgow called Lebowski's where they serve a dozen or so different varieties of White Russian in the Dude's honour. Highly recommended if u ever get the chance.

Though it wasn't a hit in theaters, The Big Lebowski, now 25 years old, earned a crazy cult following that's somewhat similar to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", being a mash of film noir and drug culture. There's a religion based on the Dude's philosophy. There's even Lebowskifest, a festival of the film's fans.

Hahah! Omgosh! That’s hilarious!

This is hands down one of the best reactions of this movie here on youtube. Loved every second of it! ^_^ Such an awesome and funny movie, and to me it's like comfort food. It always makes me feel good afterwards.

I loved your reaction! One of my all time favorites. I am bummed they never had more adventures with the Dude. You got a new subscriber 😊
