That's one of the best known, most referenced movies of all time. I must hear someone reference it at least thrice a week.

It is the movie after which "The Dude" software is named.
-
There is a current series of commercials running from it, one of which ran during the super bowl! The movie is like twenty years old and people are still using it as fodder for memes, software names and commercials. The original cast still does stuff from it.

Here is one for AJ....

The Big Lebowski is a good example of what I've said for years, that the best movie era, of recent times, was the 1990s. The era after the weird, pop-powered 1980s but before the special effects-driven, poorly written, everyone gave up 2000s. The 1990s were low budget, quirky, all about the writing and acting movie era where the classic cinema quality came back like in the old days. It was a short, but magical time for movies.
Big Lebowski was 1998.

Shawshank and American History X were both 90s, so yeah, I can agree with that.

I love a lot of movies. I'm a pretty big cinemaphile. But the only standout, far and away top movie for me, ever, is Wong Kar-Wai's Chungking Express. This, more than any other, is the movie that makes me love cinema.
-
If you've never seen it, get it and a case of canned pineapple and watch it. Best. Movie. Ever.
-
Nightcrawler is also another good newer release.

Yea,.. I found "The Dude" software installed on a computer... I've never looked at it though....

Looks like a Zoolander 2 is on the way...
Zoolander just walked the runway at Paris Fashion Week...
-
@lance I've been hearing about Zoolander 2 for a while. Great cast, I'm sure that I'll see it.
-
@scottalanmiller It should be interesting, I just found out not too long ago that there might be a new Ghostbusters coming out.

Actually there are TWO coming out. One was announced a while ago with a female lead cast. But Sony just this morning announced a second new one with a male lead cast.

@scottalanmiller Awesome! Hopefully they don't f it up.
