The Big Lebowski
1998 · TMDB 7.8
Directed by Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
Jeffrey 'The Dude' Lebowski, a Los Angeles slacker who only wants to bowl and drink White Russians, is mistaken for another Jeffrey Lebowski, a wheelchair-bound millionaire, and finds himself dragged into a strange series of events involving nihilists, adult film producers, ferrets, errant toes, and large sums of money.
Why it matters
The Dude's dream sequence, with its ballet of bowling and Julianne Moore's swooping figure, is set to the ethereal strains of the 'Piano Concerto No. 1' by Tchaikovsky, a moment of pure, absurd transcendence.
