This is probably my favourite comedy of all times. I never get tired of watching it. Jeff Bridges as The Dude is brilliant and so are all the other actors. Phillip Seymour Hoffman... has he ever been bad in any film he's been in? The only thing I don't like about it that much is that nihilist gang.. That is a bit too slapstick for me, but it is not taking over the movie in any way so it's cool.
One of my favourite scenes (out of many) is the scene when The Dude is in the car with "the other" Lebowski and Brandt and he tries to explain things to them. It is so funny. I also love the scene when the cops come over to The Dude's place to investigate about the car theft and the rug. Not to mention the scene with The Dude in his car listening to Creedence and smoking a spliff and then dropping the joint and... ah, you know, you've all seen it.
Man, I have to go watch it again!!

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
