Yeah, well. The Dude abides.

What is THE BIG LEBOWSKI, you say? Well, if you have to ask... not only is it one of the biggest and best cult movies of our time, but more importantly, this Coen Brothers classic is an outrageously insane comedy of bowling, confused identities, naked performance art, porn-obsessed nihilists, a sex offender named Jesus, and some unforgettable musical dream sequences -- Oh, and some guy called "The Dude."

Sure, just bringing this lovably oddball slacker classic back to the BIG screen is cool enough on its own. But that's not all! We're throwing our fourth annual pre-show bowling party extravaganza celebrating the greatness of his dudeness and his laid back misadventures. Here's your chance to compete for sweet Lebowski-themed prizes in tests of wit and skill including, but not limited to: best costume (break out those bowling shirts, bathrobes, and skintight purple Jesus lounge suits!), most convincing nihilist quip, most impassioned Walter rant, and of course, bowling.

(1998) dir. Joel Cohen, w/ Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi and John Turturro, 1h57m
