I am literally watching Big Lebowski for the first time.  This is a great movie.

How is this possible? Even I have seen it and I have major gaps when it comes to movies!

But happy for you...what a treat!

Wow! This is one of the most rewatchable films of all-time. Put this on in the background and I'm very happy.

What prompted you to watch this for the first time 25 years after its release? I think it was just #1 in an article on "all time best cult classics" this week in . . . something.

Yeah, I dunno. I always knew I wanted to see it, but just never did. mrs grateful had no interest, which led to even further delays...

Anyway, I'm glad to have finally entered the zeitgeist. I feel I have a deeper understanding of y'all.

That's just, like, your opinion, man.

Agree it is one of the most rewatchable films ever. Sublime comedy, imo.

I’d add Clerks, Swingers, Something About Mary, Wedding Crashers to the discussion. Maybe even Dumb/Dumber, Superbad, Shaun of the Dead. A lot of contenders, for sure.

Don't the majority of those picks predate BL?
I do agree with most of them tho...Just feel like comedy movies have kinda sucked for the last 2 decades
I think bridesmaids is the only 'current' one

I just rewatched It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World this weekend (with intermission!) and that's a great comedy

You literally said "last 3 decades" in the post we are all responding to. Moving the goalposts.

Clerks is definitely up there. Hell, I have a weird affinity to Mallrats too.

Rushmore is also sublime.

Dude, you have some good beer taste. But I'd put most of those movies on a list of worst movies I've ever seen.
