It is hard to explain why The Big Lebowski is the funniest movie I've ever seen. The first time I watched it, I hated it. Years later, I watched it with friends and fell in love.

The dialog is quoted by my circle of friends almost daily. "Over the line" and "Mark it zero" are the easiest to use in most occasions. Any instance of "He's a good man" is followed up with "... and thorough". We also enjoy describing varying activities as being a "Zesty Enterprise".

I don't believe there is another movie (nor will there ever be) that shares, so closely, the humor I share with my friends. To borrow another line, "It really ties the room together."
