adds Miller's Crossing to list
This one's not a comedy, btw. But it is pretty freakin' great.
Hey! What a surprise! Hostile 17! Can I get you a drink, Hostile 17?

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It's got Albert Finney. I'm in.

Heh. It was sort of entertaining, but not enough to make me want to watch it again. Most of my friends adore it. I am a little mystified.

I feel the same way.

Lebowski is almost famously a "grower." You'll be channel flipping and it comes up on cable and you hang around for a few scenes and you start giggling. Except, it doesn't matter what scene you enter on. Definitely gets better on re-view.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Hec is correct as all hell. First time by buddy showed me Lebowski, I said, "Why did you make me watch that?" By the second viewing I got it and have been as big a fan as one can be.
Does the spoileriffic cover art for Hudsucker piss anyone else off? First time I saw it was a rental copy and I hadn't seen the art, which gives away the amusing little revelation about halfway through. "You know... for kids!"

My wife always says that she hates Lebowski, too, but sits spellbound and laughs like hell whenever we watch any moment of it. It's one of my favorite movies, and ties with Miller's Crossing for title of My Favorite Coen Brothers Movie.
