The Big Lebowski (1998)

"Dude" Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) is mistaken for a millionaire who shares his same name, and gets caught up in restitution plot against the said millionaire.  The thugs attack the Dude at the beginning of the film and pee on his rug.  From there the plots of the Dude go down hill to regain vengeance against such horrific acts against him.  Egged on by his bowling buddy (John Goodman) the vengeance is finally gained.

This is a GREAT Coen brothers film!!!!  I love the way that these brothers are able to create and establish characters simply through the dialogue that they have with each other.  Be warned that there is profanity, drug use, and brief nudity throughout this movie, but I was laughing out loud (late at night) watching this movie.

Jeff Bridges and John Goodman, supported by Steve Buscemi and Philip Seymour Hoffman were incredible!!!  Well worth the watch.  This movie is not child or wife friendly movie (it is a Coen brothers film :) )  Four and a half stars for me on this one.
