It's hard for me to even pick a favorite scene. If I had to I'd probably say the scene when they go bowling after dropping off the ringer. Walter carrying on two different conversations with Dude and Donnie cracks me up.

I used to say this to my roommate every time is cell would go off.

Back in the days of AIM my go to away message was always "The Dude is not in."

This is a very complicated case, Maude. You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you's. And, uh, lotta strands to keep in my head, man. Lotta strands in old Duder's head. Luckily I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep my mind, you know, limber.

[Dramageek]

Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

You brought a fucking pomeranian bowling?

[gripes81]

It's a fucking show dog with fucking papers...

[space_raven]

Mr. Lebowski asked me to repeat that: her life is in your hands.

[DeuceStep]

You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.

Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish. These fucking amateurs...

It comes up in the office where I work often and it's innocuous enough that even if people don't catch the reference, its meaning still applies.

I must've used "they're callin the cops, man" two dozen times last weekend.

Nothing is fucked?! The goddamn plane has crashed into the mountain!

David was a good bowler, and a good man.

RIP.

The other Jeffrey Lebowski, the millionaire.

Just because we're bereaved doesn't make us saps!


RIP

Your revolution is over, Mr. Lebowski! Condolences! The bums lost!

THE BUMS WILL ALWAYS LOSE!

RIP

Good night, sweet prince.

Randomly came across this site with random lebowski trivia so thought I'd drop it in here. There are 50 facts, some of which are commonly known to most fans and some kind of unimportant/filler tid bits but as someone who considers himself a pretty big fan I was pleasantly surprised to learn a few more things. Some of it is about character/quote origins and a few explain a lot of tie ins to other people or actors or movies, especially to Fargo.

For example, I always knew that Donny bowled a strike every time except his last, right before he died, but I never knew that the dude never actually bowls. Or that he appears in every scene. Or that the coffee shop where Walter goes on his first amendment rant is the same coffee shop as in American history x and reservoir dogs. Or Donny wears a few different bowling shirt throughout the movie, none of which say his name. http://www.shortlist.com/entertainme...ski#gallery-50

But one trivia piece I like that wasn't included is that the ex manager (forget his name) for The Rolling Stones waved he royalty fees ($150,000 I think) for using their song, dead flowers (performed on the soundtrack by townes van zandt) because he saw a preview of the movie and apparently shares the dudes opinion of the eagles and after seeing that scene he decided they could have the song for free.

If you're a fan of lebowski or the cohen brothers or just random movie trivia I think you'll learn a few cool things.

Test question for you all: Do you remember how many White Russians the dude drinks?

Damn I didn't know this movie had its own thread. Damn I love this movie.. I watch it all the time.

[Lee3691]

Apologize if this has been mentioned, but John Turturro's "Jesus" is getting his own movie (in a remake of an old French film). No involvement by the Cohen bros or other characters

Loved the idea of what they did but Jeff bridges seems to be...not all there. Kinda cool to see but kinda underwhelming.
