The Big Lebowski

Joel Coen / US, GB, 1998 / 117 min.

Today is the annual Day of the Dude. Jeff Bridges, John Turturro, Steve Buscemi and John Goodman shine as ‘the laziest man in L.A. County’ and his bowling buddies, with a stunning guest performance for a carpet.'It really tied the room together!'

His name is Lebowski, but he is not the Lebowski the two creditors at the door think he is. Jeff Lebowski (Bridges) calls himself “The Dude” and is a man who may be full of plans, but due to daydreaming and excessive hash and acid use, he rarely carries out those plans. The fact that there's another Lebowski out there who owes a significant debt to a porn producer, hey, what can The Dude do about it?

The Day of the Dude is an annual holiday on 6 March, the day the cult classic The Big Lebowski was released in America in 1998.
