Overview
The Big Lebowski was the movie that made us all start sipping White Russians, rekindled our love of bowling and the word 'dude', and turned Jeff Bridges into a shaggy-haired, dressing gown-clad cult hero. It also spawned its own religion Dudeism, which currently has over 130,000 Dudeist Priests; and its own film festival, the Lebowski Fest (the latter being a little bit less impressive than the former).
The 1998 crime comedy was written by the Coen brothers (you know, the guys behind Fargo, True Grit, No Country For Old Men etc.). It also stars pretty big league actors like Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi and Philip Seymour Hoffman, as well as Jeff Bridges as Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, a professional slacker and bowling-enthusiast who - after a case of mistaken identity - is commissioned to find the wife of a millionaire with the same name as him.
The Big Lebowski was loosely inspired by film noir writer Raymond Chandler.
