The Big Lebowski

The scene where he tries to block his door with a chair took physical control of my lungs for like 10 minutes

My third favorite movie. This is the Coen Brothers' best work. The Dude is my favorite protagonist for any film. He isn't some prestigious important hero, he is just a lazy guy who is trying to do the right thing. His perspective on everything around him is relatable and hilarious. Speaking of which, this is the funniest movie I have ever seen. The concept and plot themselves are hilarious, and along with that we have a cast of characters with diverse personalities who play off of each other extremely well. Every scene is hilarious, and every joke lands. The script is my favorite original script. There are too many quotable lines to count. My profile name, "Not a Golfer," is quoting this movie. The direction is creative and fun. Every performance is perfect. Both Jeff Bridges and John Goodman give career-best performances. Sam Elliott occasionally popping in to give insight is great. Watch this movie as soon as you can.
