Twenty-five years ago Joel and Ethan Coen released a quirky comedy about a slacker living in Los Angeles with a love for bowling and a taste for White Russians that was destined to become a cult classic film.

With a genius script and an ensemble cast of unforgettably eccentric characters, from bowling nemesis Jesus Quintana played by John Turturro, and a pair of inept hitmen performed by Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare, to The Dude himself, Jeff Bridges and even a roving gang of nihilists. This amazing cast which also includes iconic performances by John Goodman, Juliane Moore, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, “The Big Lebowski” has become a defining work by the Coen brothers.
