"Your name is Lebowski. Your wife is Bunny."

"Bunny? Look, moron."

[He holds up his hand.]

"You see a wedding ring? Does this place look like I'm [censored] married? The toilet seat's up!"

IIRC he actually held up his right hand. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Is this movie as good as I think it is?

I recently left Los Angeles, because my wife and I split. I left behind the following: Every DVD I owned except one, all furniture, two cats, 40inch flat panel television with XBOX360 and games, friends, and a million other things I haven't mentioned.

I took TBL out of the case, put it in my laptop DVD drive, and it came with me.

Brilliant movie and I think it takes 10 viewings or so before one really begins to appreciate the greatness.

If anything truly describes how great this movie is and how much its fans love it, this post is the one.

I've always liked the movie but consider it as being in the middle of the pack of the Coen Bros. ouvre. I'm a much bigger fan of Raising Arizona, Blood Simple and Fargo...

Good movie though, and I agree that it gets better which successive viewings.

I think this is one of the few movies where the faults in writing, plot, character, etc. are so few that they can be listed explicitly without the cup running over.

I think it would be consistent with the original post if anyone wants to point out what they would change about the movie.

My complaint: When The Dude is walking away from Donny and Walter in the parking lot of the bowling alley, and The Dude's cell phone is ringing (but The Dude is not answering because he lost the money), I don't like the last two lines (beginning with "your phones ringing dude"):

DONNY
Where you going, Dude?

DUDE
I'm going home, Donny.

DONNY
Your phone's ringing, Dude.

DUDE
Thank you, Donny.

Other than that I can't think of anything else I'd change about the movie.

no that part is hilarious because of how long the dude's phone has been ringing for.
