The Big Lebowski. I've probably seen it over a dozen times. I've seen Being There, Raising Arizona, My Cousin Vinny, Blues Brothers, Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas at least 4-5 times each.

The lead in the film, Glen Hansard, was the leader of the band The Frames as well as half of The Swell Season and the guy behind the film and Broadway play Once. All good stuff.

Really? I thought it was an excellent movie on a very rough topic. It may be the only movie I've seen in a theater where every single person walked out completely silent at the end.

Speaking of the Coen brothers, I just watched Miller's Crossing last night for the first time in ~25 years (unlike Lebowski which I've watched pretty much annually since it was released).

Pretty much. Lonesome Dove (not a movie, but a TV miniseries) and The Godfather came close. The problem with Cold Mountain is that much of the story occurs inside Inman's head and therefore hard to...

I rented and watched American Sniper a couple of days ago. Pretty good, but I fail why it (like so many other things) resulted in such a political brouhaha.

Good movie. Been to that area? One of the toughest places in all of Appalachia. I spend a week there looking at a bunch of flood control projects. Scary.
