Office Space is damn funny, but the Big Lebowski is one of my five favorite movies of all time.

crazy. lebowski was an ok movie bordering on good (bad by coen brother's standards, but they make great stuff), but office space EASILY owns it.

Office Space is great, but TBL is the bomb.

No Raising Arizona at all?

LOL.......

F---king dog has papers, Dude.--Over
the line!

Smokey turns from his last roll to look at Walter.

WALTER
Smokey Huh?

WALTER
Over the line, Smokey! I'm sorry.
That's a foul.

SMOKEY
Bullshit. Eight, Dude.

WALTER
Excuse me! Mark it zero. Next frame.

SMOKEY
Bullshit. Walter!

WALTER
This is not Nam. This is bowling.
There are rules.

DUDE
Come on Walter, it's just--it's
Smokey. So his toe slipped over a
little, it's just a game.

WALTER
This is a league game. This
determines who enters the next round-
robin, am I wrong?

SMOKEY
Yeah, but--

WALTER
Am I wrong!?

SMOKEY
Yeah, but I wasn't over. Gimme the
marker, Dude, I'm marking it an
eight.

Walter takes out a gun.

WALTER
Smokey my friend, you're entering a
world of pain.

DUDE
Hey Walter--

WALTER
Mark that frame an eight, you're
entering a world of pain.

SMOKEY
I'm not--

WALTER
A world of pain.

A manager in a bowling-shirt style uniform is running for a
phone.

SMOKEY
Look Dude, I don't hold with this.
This guy is your partner, you should--

Walter primes the gun and points it at his head.

WALTER
HAS THE WHOLE WORLD GONE CRAZY? AM
I THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO GIVES A SH!T
ABOUT THE RULES? MARK IT ZERO!

The Pomeranian is excitedly yapping at Walter's elbow, making
high body-twisting tail-wagging leaps.

DUDE
Walter, they're calling the cops,
put the piece away.

WALTER
MARK IT ZERO!

SMOKEY
Walter--

WALTER
YOU THINK I'M F--KING AROUND HERE?
MARK IT ZERO!!

SMOKEY
All right! There it is! It's f---king
zero!

He points frantically at the score projected above the lane.

SMOKEY
You happy, you crazy f--k?

WALTER
This is a league game, Smokey!

Weird. I don't know why people don't like that movie. I loved every aspect of that film. Roger Deakins owned the camera, Billy Bob was fscking great, the characters were just the perfect. But I digress.

I knew I was forgetting at least 1 film. IMO, aside from a great soundtrack and as always brilliant work by our friend roger, O'brother was not very good. I'd say it rates somewhere between millers crossing and TBL.

I'm very amibivalent about Raising Arizona. It's a great film in many ways, but I loathe the subject matter.

I loved MWWT also. Loved O'Brother too! The Coen's rule.

To me it seems like the Big Lebowski tried a little harder to be funny on a different humor level.

O' Brother was great. I could appreciate the MWWT, but i didn't find it as enjoyable as O' Brother, Raising Arizona, and TBL. I liked Fargo too, but not as much as the other ones.
