The original script actually refers to the narrator as "a Sam Elliott type". So I'm not sure if they knew they'd be able to get him for the role, but they based the character just on Elliot's performances in other movies.

You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism. Not in Nam, of course.

I remember an anecdote that relates to what they're saying about the sort of lack of structure of The Big Sleep - when they were making the movie version of that book, they realised one of the characters died, but couldn't figure out from the book who had killed the character. So they called up Raymond Chandler, the author of the novel, and asked him. "Who killed this character ? Can you help us explain this ?" "I don't know", Chandler said, "I don't think it's in the novel". So nobody knew the intricacies of the plot, not even the original author. The anecdote is something like that, I might have a few details wrong but it's close.

There is humanity in the Coen Brothers films like there is in no other it's wonderful it's horrifying and yet it always shows you something that you may have been missing, overlooking, or detaining your heart from.

The greatest Film Noir of all time with The Dude as the laziest detective in LA which would qualify him as one of the laziest detectives in the world.

We'll be forever grateful to you guys for gifting us this masterpiece!

Those 2 guys are great, think about having a brother who shares and fuel your fantasies than being alone with it and nobody wants to hear your stories. That's why I think they are great writers / storytellers.

I used to live in Venice, CA, on Venice Blvd., in a bungalow among a set of cottages set up exactly like in this film, where the landlord lived in the central bungalow. The only difference was the floor plan of the bungalows was slightly different. It may well have been the same bungalows, just that the movie transformed the bedroom into a bathroom. In which case, I lived in the same bungalow that they shot the movie in. It's always very strange seeing those scenes for me. I see on Google Earth that they've torn down those bungalows. Towards the last, they were painted purple and then still later, they were painted black. Also, I was a serious "pothead" for about a quarter century, so this film hit home for me.

The Big Lebowski is one of those very few movies that gets better and better on repeated viewings. It's probably the best of them all.

I was amused for days after watching this movie - I would just keep getting flashbacks of various scenes and just start chuckling out loud - usually when I was in a queue somewhere. I must have got the reputation of being the village idiot ... awesome performances from all the characters and simply unbelievable script !!!

I've watched this movie about 10 times now and every time it gets better

Isn't it wonderful how this story by the Cohens, that was based on a Dude they met, some actors they wanted to use and wrote parts for, an insane director in hollywood everyone knew (Goodman's character), all were thrown into a cheesy 1950's Film Noir detective plot along with a lot of 70's drug culture influence and it became this masterpiece that hangs together and presents a cohesive film, even though it has no earthly reason for doing so? I don't know about you, but I take comfort in knowing that they are out there, just tying it all together for us.

Man... I wish this documentary had gone on for two hours. The Coens should have a UNESCO Heritage seal stamped on their foreheads. Something not mentioned - surely The Long Goodbye served as inspiration for The Big Lebowski, there are many private eye noir films to draw from, but the Robert Altman classic adaptation on the genre had an iconoclastic and hilarious streak to it, which the Coens took five steps further.

Awesome movie, still watching 2021!

A very special and unique film.

The most beautiful thing I've ever seen!

The reason the movie is popular , in my opinion, is that it creates a stark contrast between the antagonist (boomer , hard worker, pillar of society , the rich Mr. Lebowski) and our hero (and what's a hero, really) , the dude , who is a stoner, slacker, and one of the laziest people. People resonated with that because the dude's portrayal as a hero , is helping to taking the pressure off of conforming to parental and societal expecations, for everyone who views this film. It's giving people an alternative to conforming with the status quo and just be a cookie cutter, well oiled cog in the machine. Not to mention all the destruction on a planetary scale that mindless boomer work ethics like those of Mr. Lebowski has already wrought, for profit everything, and now 70% of the arctic ice caps are gone because the puppet masters who park their 100 ft yachts in Monaco harbor needed to buy a 120 ft Yacht this year, so they continuously churned the workers and resources of the planet , ultimately to its peril.

Isn’t it incredible that many many peoples arguably favorite movies(TBL/No Country/O Brother) are all just, just incredible, each in its own way. And all 3 are made by the same two “dudes”. Like between the 3, idk if I could pick a favorite. However, all 3 are my very favorite movies. No Country is so very tense at times, many times. And yet, TBL is just so relaxed. The pacing of the movie is just so, friggin, relaxed, lol. I’d think O Brother, is somewhere between the 2. It’s relaxed and fun and adventurous. When the conflicts enter into the story tho, it becomes very tense when needed……again, all 3(and that’s not to discount Fargo and couple others either) of these brilliant 5 star movies. All made by the same guys and each with its own spectacular mosaic of specific elements that really “tie the movie/s together”
