Top 30 Greatest Movies of All-Time # 4
Title: The Big Lebowski
Actors/Director/Anything Worth Mentioning Right Away: Too many to name, actually.
Introduction: I don’t remember when or how I first saw this movie, but once I did I was hooked for life.
Location: All over the place, sometimes in a bowling alley.
Plot: It all started with a rug that got urinated on and from there, this movie twisted and turned into an adventure about confusion, hilarity and, overall, shouting at teenage kids. I still don’t quite understand why Donnie had to die, but Evergreen Terrace wrote a song about it, so I’m okay with it now. Seriously, a couple of songs on nearly every good CD have a reference or two to this movie. Not to mention the fact that there is a Veronica Mars episode loosely based around the movie. Yeah, it’s one of those things that no matter how much I write about it, I could never do it justice.
Acting: Probably the single most quotable movie ever made. EVER.
Production: It was in theaters, you know, but it looks great.
Sex/Nudity: No, I don’t think there is much of that.
Special Effects: Donnie’s heart attack is something that you can’t fake.
Overall Verdict: No matter how many times I watch this movie, it will always be funny. I will never have to say “I watched that yesterday” about this movie. If I was to flip through television stations and find this movie on, no matter what point it was at I’d probably stop and watch it without fail every time.
