Could not get past 20 min. and turned it off. Would not recommend.

Horrible movie. Do not understand how this got good ratings

This is a film which I do not know why people call a classic

It is a classic dark comedy. Anyone that is very selective about their movie collection; this is one that should be added to it.

This movie has never looked this good! Sound is top notch as well!

This movie has my vote for funniest movie of all time. I've watched it over 100 times easily. Jeff Bridges is brilliant as the misunderstood slacker and John Goodman steals the show as the overzealous war veteran. But the real star is John Turturro who only has a small part but is unforgetable as "Jesus," their bowling rival. This movie has even spurned a yearly festival in its honor: The Lebowski Fest held in Louisville, KY. If you don't own this movie, you are missing out.

It may take a while for you to "get it" but keep watching once you start laughing you won't stop. Then go back and laugh from the beginning! Simply one of my favorites as it is with my friends.

The Coen Brothers have many great films under their belt. The Oscar-winning FARGO, RAISING ARIZONA, and O' BROTHER WHERE ART THOU? to name a few. However, people often omit THE BIG LEBOWSKI, and I have no idea why. It's status as a cult classic aside, LEBOWSKI holds title to one of the most memorable characters in film history: The Dude... and he abides. Highly Recommended.

“The Big Lebowski” is an . . . odd film, to say the least, and that’s pretty much universally agreed upon. The key element here is, then, does its oddness appeal to you personally? If it does, you’ll love this movie. If it doesn’t, you’ll probably end up hating it, or at the least be very, very confused. The Cohen brothers have a history of odd, artsy films that can be funny as well as confusing. This comedy (and it is a bit of a stretch to label it as such) is a cult-classic from 1998. It follows the story of Jeffery “The Dude” Lebowski, played by Jeff Bridges, an unemployed amateur bowler and professional slacker, as he gets mixed up in a complicated case of kidnapping and mistaken identity, among many other things. Trying to explain the narrative beyond that is a Herculean task in and of itself, as its complication surpasses even Dan Brown or Nolan levels. In one sense, it’s a slice-of-life tale about the Dude, but it’s a particularly strange slice here. A lot of things happen, not always related to each other or even in a logical sequence. That, though, is where most of the comedy comes in this film; the sheer oddity of the situations, the characters, and most importantly, those characters’ reactions to those situations. I would not say that for me personally, that this film was hilarious, but I also wouldn’t say it was terrible either, as I did laugh quite a bit during. This really is one of those films that is experienced and liked on a person-to-person basis. There is a lot here that is pointless: some characters, most dialogue, several scenes and sequences; all of which adds up to essentially nothing. But this film’s lack of a point is the point itself. This is great if this works for you, but disastrous if it doesn’t. Bridges is great as the Dude, and it was one of those performances where it was so good, it seems like it wasn’t really acting and that is what the actor is really like. He’s likable in his own loserly way. John Goodman plays the Dude’s best friend Walter, who is immediately unlikable; you wonder why the Dude puts up with him. The rest of the actors and characters, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Julliane Moore, Tara Reid, Steve Buscemi, are all memorable in their own eccentricities but episodic in their appearances and unimportant in their significance. Again though, their pointlessness is their point. There are other good things to be had in this film. The cinematography is really good and creative in some spots, particularly in the dream sequences, which are arguably the best scenes in the film. It’s like I said, this film is best taken on an individual basis. I can see why some people like it, and I can also certainly see why some people hate it. Personally, I liked it well enough; I don’t love it, and certainly wouldn’t rank it among my favorite films or even comedies, but it’s far from terrible; it was entertaining enough to find amusing. You may like its strangeness and eccentricity; you may hate its pointlessness and unfocused narrative. You may love its memorable and quirky characters; you may hate its confusing structure. Take it at your own pace. Like it or not, either way, I’m sure the Dude will abide.

The Dude left no doubt who the Dude is. This is a must view for aspiring dudes. Great story dude line. An enjoyable and comical, digitally improved movie. My dude son also enjoyed it. Legalize it Dudes!

if you are a fan of the Cohen brothers this is most likely on any list of your favorite films. so many great performances, so many quirky characters. this bluray looks amazing and has tons of extras including a part of a documentary about the Lebowski-festivals. i can get you a toe ....

One of the best movies ever!!! A cult classic that will make anybody laugh. Some great actors and odd characters, this movie WILL NOT dissapoint!! Also has one of the most intricate plots-- the Dude just wants a new rug.

Coen Brothers do it again with this one. All time favorite movie that is funny all the way through. John Goodman was great in a part that seemed to be written for him.

If you have not experienced this cult classic film, you need to get with it...The bluray version is phenomenal The dude, abides

Featuring John Goodman in the funniest movie he ever co-starred in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fix your nice a cold caucasian and bowl your way in. This movie is a classic tale with a lotta ins, a lotta outs, a lotta what-have-yous. It never gets old.

This is a really fun movie to watch and its absolutely hilarious. I liked Jeff Bridges ever since he starred in TRON in 1982.

This is a great format and I would highly recommend.

If you haven't seen The Big Lebowski you haven't lived, it is one of the greatest movies ever made. Classic

This is a definite "must have" for the Lebowski fans. The only way it could have been better is if it came with a free rug!
