Big Lebowski: why do people say it's the most quotable movie?
 

I don't think I've ever gotten through that movie, but I hear so much about it that I think I'm missing something....BUT the other night I put on Slap Shot and realized how much of that is quotable. I'm not going to compare the two, but I know I quote Slap Shot much more than most movies I've seen. Yeah, I forget how much of my personality I owe to movies like Slap Shot. Is that why I'm such an a**hole?

f1shf00d, you're out of your element.

The most quotable movie? Depends on the person. It's different for each.

The most quoted movie? The Wizard of Oz, bar none.

:shrug: This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass.

(thought I'd throw that Wizard of Oz quote in there for The Bus)

Yeah, I think it's different for everyone. I probably quote Heavyweights more than any movie.

This will not stand, ya know. This aggression will not stand, man.

Obviously you're not a golfer. :shrug:

f1shf00d my friend, you're entering a world of pain.

Big Lebowski is only one of the funniest movies around.

...you dont like my movie? GET YOUR OWN FUCKIN' CAB!

The movie abides.

The rug really tied to room together, man. You might not get the movie, but at least they left the creedence.

Because there's a lot of potheads in the world.

I don't recall ever quoting it, and I don't think any of my friends have quoted it. I can usually tell when one of my friends is quoting something, and if I don't know where it came from, I'll ask. So far, to me, they've never said it came from this movie.

Its because it coined the word Dude, and everybody says Dude.

And it's true because I say so!

- Are these the Nazis, Walter?
- No, Donny, these men are nihilists, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Mark it zero!

Nobody fucks with the Jesus!

For more...Pretty much the whole movie.

I tried to watch this for the first time last night....

I only made it through the first hour. :shrug:

Eight year olds, Dude.

This came out in the 80's ?

They peed on your VALUED rug???

I'm calmer than you are.

I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars.

Walter Sobchak: You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.

The Dude: Yeah, but Walter...

Walter Sobchak: Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish. These fucking amateurs...

I'm just going to go use the cash machine...

I hear this quoted a lot from people, including some of my friends. As for me, other than It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, there isn't a movie I quote more.

Dude: They weren't Nazis, Walter, they were nihilists.
Walter: Nihilists? Jeez, Dude. Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, but at least it's an ethos.

Also, The Big Lebowski has provided maybe the best made-for-TV dub of all time, replacing "This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass" with "This is what happens when you make eggs for a stranger in the Alps."

You mean coitis?

rotfl

which one is Logjammin'?

He fixes the cable?

Shut the fuck up fishf00d

rotfl I was going to say that, but was afraid I might get banned for a personal attack.

I am the Walrus.

I was thinking about...

"Walter, I love you, but sooner or later, you're going to have to realize the fact that you're a god damn moron."

...but then I decided not to.

He treats objects like women!

I fuck you! I fuck you! I fuck you!

Walter: Am I wrong?
The Dude: No you're not wrong.
Walter: Am I wrong?
The Dude: You're not wrong Walter. You're just an asshole.
Walter: All right then.

Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!

WALTER: The Chinaman is not the issue here and...hey, also Dude, Chinaman is not the prefered nomenclature; it's Asian-American.

THE DUDE: Walter, we're not talking about some guy who built the fucking railroad!

That line always cracks me up, as its an obvious indicator The Dude has no idea what he's saying half the time.
