[The Jewish Cunthead]

The Blues Brothers


vs.

The Big Lebowski


Where to begin? Two cult classics and two of my favorites. I can't decide without four fried chickens, a coke and a White Russian.

Voting ends Sunday 6/24 8PM PST

I know the immediate instinct is Blues Brothers = SUPAR CLASSIC!! But I think that The Big Lebowski is really an excellent movie. It's a "cult classic", yeah, but put it in front of anybody and they will find it hilarious. I really would like it to get the win here.

How much for your women?

eco - I loved Lebowski. I probably laughed harder in the theater than any other movie when I saw that. Goodman was fucking brilliant and the Coens really nailed it.... but it's The Blues Brothers. I'll offer these three scenes:

Serg's "How much for the women line?"

The funniest chase scene EVAR:


I love Lebowski and I wish it was matched up against some of the weaker films but I can't vote against Jake & Elwood.

[Chris Eco]

Yeah, fair enough Solly. I just was against the knee-jerk vote, because I think Lebowski merits consideration. Whatever, Blues has this in the bag (and I think it will be safe for a while.)

[The Jewish Cunthead]

That's what kills me... I wish Lebowski got matched with Wayne's World or something. It's too funny of a movie to get bounced right away, if at all.

Lebowski's one of my favorites of all time. But it's gonna get killed. I'll give it a mercy vote.

I vote Dude. Blues Brothers is awesome, but the ferret in the tub and peeing on the rug? INSTANT CLASSIC!

Civil War: I'm with Jake & Elwood

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I have seen niether (though both are on the ole Netflix queue. I voted Blues Brothers since I've heard more buzz about it.

[Stu]

This is tough, but I have to go with Blues Brothers

"Illinois Nazis"
"I hate Illinois Nazis"

I guess I'm in the minority here. I never liked the Blues Brothers.


I never liked the Coen brothers movies, either. They are terrible to me. But the Big Lebowski? I freaking love that movie until the party scene at Jackie Treehorns (or whomever). After that, I'm done. It seems that the Coens remembered that it was their movie and they had to put their lameness on it.


But the first half of that movie might be my favorite half of any movie (with the possible exception of FMJ)

[salmonjunkie]

I actually think the 2nd half of FMJ is the better half. But I know I'm in the minority for that one.

[Lucky]

What's FMJ? The best I'm coming up with is Full Metal Jacket. Is that just a Lebowski reference I fail to get because I still haven't gotten around to watching it?

Say that again and I ban you.

[salmonjunkie]

It's Full Metal Jacket. No Lebowski reference.

At least you didn't delete it.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

I'm shocked... Lebowski is having a better showing than I thought.

Creepy - that's just damn funny. Well played.
