THE BIG LEBOWSKI (Cert.18) 1998: Starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi and Philip Seymour Hoffman Tuesday, May 12 at 9.00pm Plot: Frankly, who cares about the plot - Lebowski (Bridges) finds himself embroiled in a kidnapping scheme after he’s mistaken for rich guy with the same name - when what really matters here is the sparkling dialogue and laidback values of pot-bellied, pot-smoking Jeff ‘The Dude’ Lebowski.

And boy, is he ever the Dude; if he’s not stoned, he’s bowling, and surely ranks as the all-time greatest everyman...ever!

Joyous, hysterical and ingenious, Lebowski is the ultimate role model for our times.

Just be sure you’re supping a ‘Caucasian’... (that’s a White Russian for those of you out of the loop).
