With such a taste for cinema, it is very difficult to choose just one favorite, but one that comes very close is a nineties cult classic. That’s right, I’m talking about The Big Lebowski. Played by Jeff Bridges, the main character of this movie is an awesome, unemployed, bowling lover, ex-hippie (debatable) named Jeff Lebowski but better known simply as “The Dude” (or, uh, his dudeness, duder, el duderino if you’re not into that whole brevity thing). This movie also stars John Goodman and Steve Buscemi as The Dude’s friends Walter and Donny. The movie starts At The Dude’s house, where a rug (which really tied the room together) is defiled by several mobsters. Turns out, they were looking for a much richer Mr. Lebowski, whose wife owed them money for more than one thing. The Dude goes to the rich Lebowski, demanding to be reimbursed for the rug, but is quickly denied by the ill-tempered Mr. Lebowski. When his wife is kidnapped days later, Mr. Lebowski recruits The Dude’s help to pay the ransom. With The Dude and Walter in control of the situation, a high degree of humor ensues. If you have any sence of humor whatsoever you need to see this movie.
