As any Lebowski fan will tell you, it's even better on the second viewing!
And third, and fourth, and...
@@jaydock1 and so on, i dont know how much i wached it and still do, since it came out
Coens movies are the most rewatchable around, bar none, and this is the most rewatchable Coens movie. Although as a fanboy I am morally obligated to slip in my recommendation for Barton Fink (which happens to feature John Goodman's career best performance imo as well as 'the Jesus' in the main role).
I just enjoyed my 50th today :D
And WAAAAY better on the 5th.......
The Dude: Buddhism
Walter: Jingoism
The Big Lebowski: Capitalism
Maude: Feminism
Jackie Treehorn / Bunny: Hedonism
Police Chief: Fascism
The Nihilists: (obvious)
You're not watching characters so much as avatars of various ideologies, but that somehow makes it even more fun. :)
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read.. liberalism is the main character, and why it doesn’t work..
What's Donny?
@@craxanshards3139His mortal remains were committed to the Pacific, therefore [representing]...
@@craxanshards3139 If Donny represents anything, it's probably child-like innocence. It explains Jesus' interest in him and it makes sense that he wouldn't survive an encounter with nihilism.
Bunny: hedonism
All of the Coen brothers movies are cult classics of a sort. Raising Arizona is an earlier one of theirs that is definitely a cult classic.
Ooooh that's good to know!
Yeah, there are at so many other Coen brothers movies that they should watch (if they haven't already). "No Country for Old Men" is my favorite film ever; then there's "Fargo" (also with Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare who played the main nihilist); definitely "Raising Arizona" (John Goodman's first appearance out of at least 5 of their films and maybe my favorite Nicolas Cage performance); "True Grit" again with Jeff Bridges and also Matt Damon; "Barton Fink", which is also a cult classic (I think) and co-stars John Turturro (Jesus in this film) and John Goodman ... they're just amazing writers, directors, and editors (they also edit most of their films under a pseudonym).
@yt45204 But that was a different Joel Coen/Cohen
My favorite Coen is O Brother Where Art Thou for the creative screenplay, the great soundtrack and the magnificent Roger Deakins cinematography...
@@maplenutsreact You mentioned in the review how much you liked the characters in this movie. Definitely check out more of their films as the different characters in each film are unique. Also, the Big Lewboski gets better every time you watch it.
37:00 Flea's delivery of "It's not fair!" always cracks me up.
Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Flea, in that scene.
I'm german. I love the relationship between the dude and walter. Thats the way it was back in the day. Today walter and the dude would scream at each other, insult each other and fight each other. Today a relationship like this is hard to find, back then it was the norm! I miss those times!
The kidnapper who got the bowling ball to the gut, is played by Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the girlfriend who gave up the toe is another famous musician, Aimee Mann.
Never really been a Peppers fan (beyond some of their classic hits that EVERYBODY has heard) but Aimee is great, and very funny in interviews.
@@theaikidoka - The RHCP were great before the radio hits started. Never really listened to them after that. Love Aimee so much. At a concert yesterday I yelled out a request and she took a minute to relearn/remember it and played it. Her husband, Michael Penn (brother of Sean) is one of my all-time favorite singer/songwriters, as well.
Flea also has a small part in Edgar Wright's "Baby Driver" which is just one of Edgar's films they should watch (which includes all of them). Edgar and the Coens are two of the more "modern" directors I absolutely love. Oh, and while he's achieved huge success with 4 of the best sci-fi films of all time, Canadian auteur Denis Villenueve's earlier film, "Prisoners" is one of the best thrillers I've ever seen and my definitely favorite Hugh Jackman performance (sorry, Wolverine). Not sure if it's a cult classic but dear god it's great.
Not famous in the Midwest. Lol
@@orangeandblackattack OK, if you were old enough to watch MTV in the 80s and heard the song "Voices Carry" by Til Tuesday over and over, then famous. True, most of her career was in Europe.
They kept telling Steve Buscemi to shut up because his character in their previous film, Fargo, wouldn't stop talking.
Donny you're out of your lege
@@stuartcrigan482 element
"Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man."
Fun Fact: With the exception of The Dude (Jeff Bridges) helping Maude (Julianne Moore) bowl in a fantasy, The Dude is never actually seen bowling once.
The Real Dude Fact: A lot of the Dude's clothes in the movie were Jeff Bridges's own clothes, including his Jellies sandals, which he reportedly still owns and uses to this very day.
Big Paraquat Fact: In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, John Goodman stated that The Dude (Jeff Bridges) referring to The Big Lebowski (David Hiddleston) as a "human paraquat" was one of the only improvised lines to make it into the final film. Virtually every other line was scripted.
Fun fact, reposting things you saw on other videos is gay.
@@VictorLugosi Fun fact: most of the world realized "gay" wasn't an insult 30 years ago.
I'm really surprised more of that film wasn't improvised!
@@Harv72b Not quite.
@@maplenutsreact More shocking is that, not only is it not improvised, but Jeff Bridges has sad interviews the scripting was down to the "um..." and "uhh..." So as chill and conversational as it sounds, it's actually very heavily scripted.
Raising Arizona is a cult classic, with Nicolas Cage... Great movie. This was a great reaction. Thank you. 😊
Nicolas Cage, what a talent, an actor's actor
A beautiful comedy, with exceptional actors who perfectly play wonderfully written characters. A gem.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
Jeff Bridges is a national treasure! The epitome of class and good vibes!
I can watch this movie over and over, and I rarely do that with any others. So many quotable lines, and memorable characters. It didn't get the credit it deserved when it came out, but found a huge fan base later on.
The Dude abides.
Something I noticed after a couple of viewings was that The Dude hardly speaks to Donnie at all. Their only exchange was:
"Where 'r ya goin', Dude?"
"I'm going home, Donnie"
"...Phone's ringin', Dude"
"Thank you, Donnie"
The Stranger (the narrator) was played by Sam Elliott. He's done a lot of movies. Lots of westerns, but other stuff too.
If you haven't seen Tombstone, that's a great one.
A bit of useless trivia: The very last person we see bowling before the end credits was the owner of the bowling alley.
If I may suggest another cult classic - and it came out the same year as Lebowski - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, starring Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro. It's another very unique comedy.
I think the majority of Terry Gilliam’s directorial work would count as cult classics, they usually bomb at the box office but end up with quite a reputation later on.
'The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension' is my #1 underground cult classic. Forty years on, and multiple viewings, I'm still perplexed by this film, but I love it all the same.
Oh my goodness, yes. I'm really surprised reactors still largely haven't found it, it's so wild that it would be perfect for somebody who has no idea what they're in for.
@@Dylan_Platt I agree, I'm amazed that more reactors have not discovered Buckaroo Banzai. Reel Reviews With Jen, a Canadian no less, is the only reaction I have seen. It came out in 1984 and is an Action Adventure SciFi Comedy. I don't think the world was ready for something like this back then maybe not now either. Remember " No matter where you go, there you are!"
@@GairBear49 Jen rules!! "Cheese and rice!!"
It’s definitely less known by the youngins. Played it at the bar a few months back and everyone was asking what it was.
No matter where you go, there you are. My all time favorite movie. I can't even estimate how many times I've seen it. Big Trouble In Little China is by the same author, and it's rumoured that it was originally meant to be Buckaroo Banzai Vs The World Crime League
Flash Gordon 1980 based on the comic and the soundtrack features Queen.
The Outsiders 1983 based on a book and features every big 80's young actor. Like literally everybody. Lol
Before I die, I'm gonna need to see the sequel about the next little Lebowski............
You two are a joy to watch movies with.
Awww you're so sweet! Thank you! ❤
Another is "Amelie" (French film with subtitles). This is an AMAZING journey film! I love it and have watched it literally a hundred times. Heart warming and fun! =;-) hope you two review!
Sounds very interesting! Thank you for the recommendation!
One of the funniest movies ever made, and also one of the most quotable films as well.
You two done opened Pandora's box here. 😄
Cool, offbeat & unique cult classics, of the top of my head: Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), Memento (2000), Caveman (1981), Tromeo and Juliet (1996; it's a crude low-budget film which fully earns its R rating, but it was also co-written by a young James Gunn), This is Spinal Tap (1984), Three Amigos (1986), Go (1999), Run Lola Run (1998), Demolition Man 1993), Children of Men (2006), Office Space (1999), and one of my all time favorites, Boogie Nights (1997).
Plus of course Kevin Smith's "View Askewniverse" films, starting with Clerks (1994).
Oh wow, so many! Thank you!!
One of the best rewatch movies too. Over and over. You notice little things and the jokes get funnier & funnier.
A classic.
The Big Lebowski is a cult classic because it cratered at the box office. It's humor just didn't fit the Zeitgeist. However, it was the perfect movie for rental store clerks and potheads to watch over and over and over and thus a cult classic was born.
That the film bombed at the box office is what you always hear, but the film grossed 47 million dollars worldwide on a budget of 15 million. The rule of thumb I've always heard is that a film breaks even when the box office gross reaches double the film's cost of production, so if that is the case, it would seem that the film was less a box office failure, and more of a modest finanicial success.
This was easily one of the best reactions I've seen to this movie! You guys were great and really seemed to like the movie. Most people are a bit confused by it and many people are only lukewarm to it after the first watch, but you guys got it immediately. It's actually even better each time you watch it, so don't be afraid to put it on whenever the mood hits you.
Also, make sure you wach the Coen Brothers' other films. Any of them, really. They're all great and they're in all kinds of genres from straight thrillers to comedies to comedy-thrillers and everything in between. One of their many strengths is dialogue, as you probably noticed in The Big Lebowski. Fargo, in particular, is really good with quirky characters and dialogue set against a more serious crime thriller plot. Definitely check that one out if you haven't seen it yet.
The Big Lebowski is the definition of a cult classic!
You want to see another phenomenal cult classic a lot of people are very passionate about.
“True Romance” (1993)
A Coen brothers movie that I always go back and watch is *Millers Crossing.*
The woman who's toe was cut off is singer/songwriter Amee Mann.
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)
Quigley Down Under (1990)
Fargo (1996)
Ravenous (1999)
The Way of The Gun (2000)
Secretary (2002)
Stranger Than Fiction (2006)
I 2nd Ravenous.
Awesome reaction guys! That lady is so full of joy and her laugh puts happiness in my heart!
Cult classics.....I've been trying to get "River's Edge" reacted to around some various channels. It's the first movie of a young fella who goes on to become a mega-star.
"Blue Velvet" is a must....it may be (pretty much is) the reason certain beer became a cult classic.
"Killing Zoe" is a fave of mine.
"Repo Man"....a deep cut cult classic
“River’s Edge” captures the potent mixed up emotions that teenagers have better than most movies of that kind, a few others could include “Heathers” “Ghost World and “Kids”. Crispin Glover steals every scene he’s in.
You see what you get Larry? You see what you get when you find a stranger in the Alps?
You see what happens Larry?! This is what happens when you...FEED A SOLDIER SCRAMBLED EGGS!
It's like this story is trying hard to happen around a protagonist who just can't be bothered.
I dig this film so much that I named my super mellow orange tabby The Dude, man
“Burn after Reading”
“The Grand Budapest Hotel”
Jeff Bridges goes around in a band called The Abiders and anyone who watches them in concert says he really is The Dude incarnate!
Wait... in real life!? That would be so wild to see!
@@maplenutsreact yes, no lie, solid act
He released an album 10+ years ago.
Lucky number sleven!!
Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤️
This movie is definitely about the journey, not the destination. It makes a big grand circle back to where it started with nothing having really happened except we got to meet and know these characters and enjoy being in their idiosyncratic presence. I had no idea what to make of this film at first. It's one of the few movies that gets more funny with each viewing and is eminently quotable.
Phone's ringin', dude.
So good! Check out Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for a similarly wacky duo (but involving even more drugs hah).
Hahaha MORE drugs?! I can't imagine... we'll check that one out though, thank you!
When I was 11 my family moved to a new state. We went and saw this in the theater on our second night in town. What luck. Problem was, no other kid my age saw it. It's always great to watch with people for the first time. Obviously the art scene blew my 11 year old mind in theater. Did I just see? But 'nice marmot' remains my favorite line to this day.
"In Bruges" is one of my favourite cult classics. Another would be "The Boondock Saints".
An excellent black comedy with Steve Buscemi is The Death of Stalin
There is one of the greatest cinematic performances by the superb Shakespearean Actor Simon Russell Beale, as Beria a vile character, and also Michael Palin and Jason Isaacs are brilliant.
It is well worth a look 😊😊😊😊
"I didn't know John Goodman was in this"- Oh, John Goodman is *extremely* in this!
This is one of my all time favourite films. Incredible performances by absolutely everyone (although Philip Seymour Hoffman's protrayal of Brandt deserves special mention), tonally perfect dialogue, unbeatable soundtrack, and a tightly written story. And a great reaction from the pair of you.
As for other cult classics to watch, here's a short sample:
Big Trouble in Little China - A John Carpenter film starring Kurt Russell (but he isn't really the main character).
The Lost Boys - Brat Pack Vampire movie.
Blade Runner - Go for the Final Cut if you can. It's arguably the best version (there are many versions!) Classic Cyberpuink/sci fi.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Rock musical comedy starring Tim Curry - Somewhat more "adult" themes and aesthetic.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail/Life of Brian - Monty Python weirdness.
Labyrinth - Jim Henson dark fantasy with Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie.
The Breakfast Club - 80s John Hughes teen movie.
Flash Gordon - 80s sci fi cheese with a soundtrack by Queen.
The Terminator/Terminator 2 - Arnie's iconic role.
Thanks for reacting to this film...love your reactions 😊👍🏻
Some cult movies to enjoy...
The Warriors (1979)
Blade Runner (1982)
Mulholland Drive (2001)
Thank you so much! And thank you for all of these recommendations!
Warriors was really cool finally saw it first time
Say what you will about Walter. The man is handy in a scrap.
Maude: What do you do... recreationally...?
The Dude: Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.
You probably have seen movies sort of like this before, because at its core, The Big Lebowski is a classic noir detective film - but instead of happening in the '40's with a P.I. like Sam Spade, or Jack Gedes, the Cohen Brothers put it in present-time L.A. with an old hippie burnout as our protagonist. This story has twists and turns just like Chinatown, with practically the same characters involved in the plot - plus The Dude and his bowling buddies! They took the film noir genre and put it on its ear, and made it hilarious!
A few of my fav Cult Classics that are beautiful but quirky films (a few difficult scenes but overall VERY heartwarming movies):
The Fisher King (Robin William)
Buffalo '66 (Christina Ricci)
Lars and the Real Girl (Ryan Gosling)
You never see these reacted too but WOW these are special movies. Please cover at least one, and you'll want to see all three.
The story is the Coen Bros. were smoking pot and watching The Big Sleep starring Humphrey Bogart and wondered how the movie would go if Bogart was a pothead. I recommend The Big Sleep.
I recommend reading Raymond Chandler's novel as well, the plot is even more twisted.
Cult-classic comedy: Better Off Dead starring John Cusack
Better off Dead and One Crazy Summer.
@@Hapsard Absolutely! Love "Savage" Steve Holland's writing.
YES!! Perfect for a blind reaction... They'll have no idea what they're in for
2 dollars!!!!
Better Off Dead? Seriously? That movie was silly. The best Cussack movie was Say Anything.
Some 'cult' classics:
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Fargo
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Scott Pilgrim vs the World
The Wizard of Oz ;-)
Everyone should be The Dude. Dude = world peace. We are so far from 1997, yet I still remember it fondly. Much different world.
When you asked for suggestions of cult classics, the ones that came to mind are in the so bad is good category especially The Room and Birdemic. For a more serious cult classic I recommend The Warriors (1979), which is actually based on Anabasis a work from I think 4th century BC.
Big Trouble in Little China would be a great one for you to watch: Obscure, quirky, funny action/adventure John Carpenter cult classic.
You two made a great reaction for this, you may also want to check out the Cohens' "Raising Arizona", or for something darker from them, but still very well done, "Blood Simple" or "Fargo".
The Burbs is a true cult classic in that it got roasted when it came out and has a great following now. One of the most quotable movies of the 80s. Bill Hader talks about it as one of his favorite childhood movies
Offbeat movies I love and recommend: Raising Arizona; Fargo; O Brother, Where Art Thou; Desperado; Office Space; Lost in Translation; Babe; Legend; The Fifth Element; The Truman Show.
Grand Budapest Hotel
"Walk Hard" is one of the two or three best comedies of all-time, a top-10 best movie of all-time... I'm starting to learn that maybe it's a cult classic? I'd always been under the impression people knew it was one of the greatest movies of all-time, but I've been staggered recently by how many people seem to have not only not seen it, but haven't heard of it.
"Lucky Number Slevin" and "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" are two great movies that might be cult or at least cult classic-adjacent. Both very well-written noir, very sharp and clever writing/dialogue, both with STACKED casts... both are funny too, although Slevin is maybe a bit more clever/funny while KKBB is outright laugh-out-loud funny... I think I like Slevin a bit better but KKBB may be the safer pick, a bit more broadly appealing than Slevin because of the humor, although I think both are really good, entertaining, fun, interesting movies... (both top-10 in my book; honestly, my top tier of movies is probably only about 8 and both of those movies - plus "Walk Hard", and "The Big Lebowski", and "The Princess Bride", plus "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" - definitely make that list)
It's crazy to me that KKBB isn't just an outright popular movie; it's supposedly the movie that clinched RDJ as Iron Man, how have more people not gone back to discover it considering the MCU's popularity?
Also, "Men Who Stare At Goats". Not a Coen bros movie but it really feels like one (but a bit better, IMO? Not a big Coen bros fan - they're talented, they make "good" movies, but outside of Lebowski, they don't quite hit my sweet spot, is all.) A really interesting movie, and kind of stealth feel-good despite it being a bit depressing too... Jeff Bridges essentially reprises his role as The Dude, Clooney doing his Coen bros-esque thing, the main character is played by an incredibly well-cast Ewan McGregor...
This is a classic!
I would like to recommend the movie "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai - Across The 8th Dimension." This movie is definitely considered a cult classic, and it's probably one of the most unique movies you've ever seen.
Thanks for this one!
Keep crushing it!
David Lynch has made a number of cult classics that are a little on the dark side: Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, and Lost Highway are all worth a watch and provide lots to ponder.
Don't forget Wild at Heart!
Do Ghost World (2001)!
With Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansson and Steve Buscemi.
One of my favorites.
i recommend the following;
Blue Collar - Richard Pryor
The Brave - Johnny Depp
Nightcrawler - Jake Gyllenhaal
The Game - Michael Douglas
American Psycho - Christian Bale
Cult classics
The coffee can thing is real. It happens. Also l9ve the Dude's jellies
The Dude, wrote a check for 69 cents! 😂😂😂😂
Rented this w/wife & neighbour cpl back in the day. They didn’t like it. I said, “that was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen” 😊
The classic of all cult classics Rocky horror picture show
This reaction really tied the movie together. :)
"You see a wedding ring on my finger?"
*Holds up right hand*
It's all those tiny little details that make this movie so funny
The greatest thing about this movie is Walter is never really wrong until the faking paralysis scene.
there is the whole Larry having the money and smashing a stranger's new corvette bit but mostly...
He's not right about anything, except the toe. The dog is not a Pomeranian. The Dude first brings up the self-kidnapping (which isn't true, anyway). As mentioned, Larry, the Big Lebowski's paralysis. How much before we have to acknowledge, he's rarely *EVER* right?
This movie is perfect in every single way. Endlessly rewatchable
I think the mustache is fully back now. All is right with the world, haha.
Don’t know if this is a cute classic but I love this movie because it’s different SOLOMON KANE.
Trivia: Smokey was played by Jimmie Dale Gilmore, a country musician from Texas.
One of my favorite cult classics is Repo Man from 1984, starting Emilio Estevez. It's a weird one, though not quite as weird as Lebowski.
You know what movie I’d highly recommend that one ever talks about, or seems to react to ?
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
It has a similar odd Cohen brothers feel, though a bit darker in nature, but humorous elements shine through at the right moments. On top of which, Frances McDormand of Fargo, Raising Arizona and Burn After Reading (among other Cohen films) plays the lead.
I’m new here, but I would love to see you both react to that.
I enjoyed this reaction. I wish you guys lots of success.
Awesome reaction. If you've seen "Fargo" (another Coen Brothers movie) then the recurring joke about telling Donnie to stfu makes more sense. And if you haven't seen "Fargo", ask your Patrons if they want you to look at it. The Coen brothers are an American treasure.
Donnie Darko is a great Cult classic. I never watched it back in the day. I thought it was Donnie Brasco. Got the two mixed up.
Cult Classics: Death Proof, The Outsiders + American Psycho. 💀 ❤
Thank you!!
Offbeat, different, cult-classic or just my favourite movies:
- Napoleon Dynamite (with Jon Heder)
- Lost in Translation (with Bill Murray/Scarlet Johannson. Directed by Sofia Coppola, my number one film)
- Swiss Army man (with Paul Dano/Daniel Radcliffe)
- Thank you for smoking (with Aaron Eckhart, and the guy with the cool voice , the narrator talking about the Dude)
- Being John Malkovich (hmmmm)
- Office Space (from the creator of Beavis and Butthead, Mike Judge)
- Amelie (with Audrey Tautou, brilliant film, my number 2 film)
- Garden State (with Zach Braff/Nathalie Portman, subtle humor, subtle lovestory)
- Survive Style 5+ (this one is here on youtube, Vinnie Jones is in it, having only one thing to say to everyone: Whats your purpose in life?!?)
-The Terminal (with Tom Hanks, based on true story)
- Das leben der anderen. (with ,,,,,, good film about the Stasi, the thought-police in east-Germany)
- Stranger than fiction (with Will Ferrell/Emma Thompson/Dustin Hoffman)
Sam Elliott (The Stranger) is in a western called Tombstone that is amazing and has a stacked cast. You can't go wrong with Coen brothers movies.
Here is a Cult Classic that I think you and your subs will enjoy- AKIRA from 1988!
This is one of my favorite deja vu films because it has at least half a dozen echoes of FARGO. One element may be an echo of BARTON FINK and at least one of its elements is echoed in NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN.
killer stache, brother! this is such a fun movie and i enjoyed the reaction, thank you both for posting it
The two movies with flank TBL in the Cien Brothers career are both absolute bangers. If you like this, then you'll love them.
Fargo and Oh Brother Where Art thou need to be viewed. The entire Coen brothers catalogue (bar a few exceptions, the Lady Killers to name one) are all cult classics.
One of my favourite cult movies is "Rock'n'Roll High School" from 1979.
I LOVE it. It has a weird B movie sensibility, and as a fan of The Ramones, that movie was basically all of my daydreams as a bored teenager.
Can't think of any other actor that could have played "the Dude" than Jeff Bridges.
Solid solid movie... one of the few I watch repeatedly. Thanks for the reaction.
Cult Classic: Napoleon Dynamite.
Great reaction to The Big Lebowski, guys. One of my favorites. Jeff & John were certainly front & center. Steve Buscemi as Donnie is unforgettable. But you also have Philip Seymour Hoffman, Juliane Moore, John Turturro, Tara Reid and the unmistakable Sam Elliot as the narrator. Among others. Just wondering if you noticed “Professor Lupin” in his unique role here?
Love your style. Take care.
If you're looking for something quirky and offbeat, you can try another movie by the Coen brothers: Barton Fink. John Turturo and John Goodman are in that one, too.
Awesome, thank you for the recommendation!
A few suggestions for cult classics:
Blues Brothers (1980)
Arachnaphobia (1990)
Time Bandits (1981)
Life of Brian (1979)
Dark Star (1974)
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

The Adventure of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. Amazingly weird alien invasion movie from the 80s featuring Peter Weller (Robocop), Clancy Brown (Mr. Crabs lol), Christopher Lloyd, and the debut appearances of John Lithgow and Jeff Goldblum. My favorite movie of all time.
A pair of movies you should react to are "Bringing Up Baby" (1938) and "What's Up Doc" (1972) which is a tribute to the former. I wish I could tell you that another tribute to the latter and the former was available... but they just don't make them like that anymore.
12:43 - Truer words were never spoken.
7:40 Bowling brings people together, dude. It's beautiful.
AFTER HOURS and FARGO
You mention action adventure, so why not action adventures that are also Cult Classics - The Rocketeer, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, Flash Gordon.
You want recommendations of cult classics or offbeat movies? Fantabulous! I can list a few. Ghost World, Me You and Everyone We Know, The Man Who Knew Too Little, Somewhere In Time, Happy Accidents, 1941, The Ghost and Mrs Muir. I could name several more, but that’s a good start. Oh wait… August Rush, Sing Street, Blast From The Past, Just Friends, The Cutting Edge, Dave, Enough Said, The Family Man, The Hudsucker Proxy, Joe Dirt, The Mirror Has Two Faces, Nicholas Nickleby, One Fine Day, Princess Caraboo, The Secret of Roan Inish, Sommersby, Stranger Than Fiction, Superstar, The Way Way Back, Whale Rider and That Night have to be added!
Steve Buscemi was pretty funny on the Portlandia show.
Smaller film with Buscemi: "Ghost World"
Cultish: "Lost In Translation"
I like to watch every Big Lebowski reaction, but I like to look ahead to see if the reactors include “the dude abides” line, because if they don’t, I feel like they didn’t really get the movie. That is the quintessential line of the movie. But that’s just like my opinion man. I’m happy to see you included it and look forward to watching the whole reaction later.
Excellent reaction as always. This movie is wild as hell, but really exemplifies the Coens' approach to comedy. Not everybody is on the right wavelength to appreciate it, but I'm so glad y'all did.
Ahh, cult and/or offbeat movies!! As you can probably tell, we're all SO glad you asked :D
First things first, you already saw Evil Dead, so you've GOTTA watch Evil Dead 2, the absolute king of cult/horror/comedy/WTF movies. Save it for spooky season if you must, algo gods must be appeased and all that, but PLZ watch it as soon as you can. Probably my very favorite movie of all time.
Others here have talked about several great ones already -- I heartily second the recommendations for Fargo, Better Off Dead, Buckaroo Banzai, Clerks and the other View Askewniverse movies, Bubba Ho-Tep, and Scott Pilgrim Vs The World.
One that I haven't seen anybody else mention: Turbo Kid. Great movie. Definitely better if you don't know what to expect.
There's a movie called, SEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISHER. It's a movie that not a lot of people know about. Not because it's not a really great movie. But the year it came out back in 1993 . That same year many other Blockbuster movies also came out and although a great movie itself. It was lost in the wake of Jurassic Park, Ms. Doubtfire, The Firm, The Fugitive and many other now well known movies.
But this movie starring Lawrence Fishburn, Ben Kingsley , and newcomer
Max Pomeranc. Although new to acting this young actor put forth a portrayal so believable and heartwarming. Your definitely going to want to see more of him. Unfortunately he's only done one other movie years ago and hasn't acted since. It's a true story that will pull at your heartstrings and make you smile.
Dazed and Confused, Pulp Fiction, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Boogie Nights, Adventureland, Lake Mungo. Most of these movies have amazing soundtracks.
Oooooo yes! Thank you so much for all of these!
It's a small role, but Philip Seymour Hoffman still brings his A Game to Boogie Nights.
