BBC News: Is The Big Lebowski a cultural milestone?
Well, it’s a bloody great movie if you ask me and thankfully it has developed quite a following over the years (read the BBC article for all the details and many great comments).
The Big Lebowki has this rare kind of humor that is rooted in reality and surrealism at the same time. Most of all it’s not the usual slapstick kind of humor.
And all of it’s characters are very trivial as well, that makes them so endearing and loveable.
