John Goodman (l.) and Jeff Bridges prepare to roll in The Big Lebowski.
An instant inductee into the pantheon of Great Stoner Films, 1998’s The Big Lebowski, written and directed by the Coen Brothers (A Serious Man) and starring Jeff Bridges (Tron: Legacy) as The Dude, made its Blu-ray
As well as Bridges, the movie has a great cast list: Julianne Moore (Chloe), Philip Seymour Hoffman (Jack Goes Boating), Steve Buscemi (Saint John of Las Vegas), John Goodman (TV’s Treme), Sam Elliott (The Contender) and John Turturro (Margot at the Wedding).
A cult hit if ever there was one — the film has conventions around it — The Big Lebowski is an inimitable comedy about the coolest man in Los Angeles, a guy known as The Dude, and his embraceable lifestyle of pot-smoking, bowling and White Russians. But we don’t have to tell you that…
