Nice Marmot

Last night CBS aired AFI's 100 YEARS...100 MOVIE QUOTES. I was glued in for the entire 3 hour countdown. Very cool shiz. Movies are the best ain't it! Not only was I reminded of all the best of the bestest movies and the great moments of those flix, but I was also reminded that if I am stumped on what movies to rent check out one of these OLD classics. If I can waste time on a Saturday afternoon watching Identity over and over again on HBO, I can devote some time to checking out flix like All About Eve, White Heat, and Casablanca. Casablanca especially, it was the number 2 movie of all time and it had 6 all time greatest quotes. Tell me I'm not the only one who's never seen this...

Not surprisingly there were no sign of any quotes from what I may well consider the GREATEST movie ever, The Big Lebowski. So here are my top five quotes from The Big Lebowski, discuss amongst yourselves:
5. "Now that is just ridiculous, Dude. Nobody is going to cut your dick off.
4. "Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here"
3. "You said it man. Nobody fucks with the Jesus."
2. "Hey, nice marmot"
1. "The Dude abides. "

And, along with all those GREAT quotes, here is some GREAT dialogue from one of the GREATEST scenes which sums up why The Big Lebowski may be the GREATESTEST evAr:

"The Dude: I dropped off the money exactly as per... look, man, I've got certain information, all right? Certain things have come to light. And, you know, has it ever occurred to you, that, instead of, uh, you know, running around, uh, uh, blaming me, you know, given the nature of all this new shit, you know, I-I-I-I... this could be a-a-a-a lot more, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, complex, I mean, it's not just, it might not be just such a simple... uh, you know?
The Big Lebowski: What in God's holy name are you blathering about?
The Dude: What I'm blathering about - new shit has come to light, man. She owes money all over town, including to known pornographers, and that's cool... that's cool, and of course they're going to say that they didn't get the money, because... she wants more, man! She's got to feed the monkey...

By the way I probably won't be able to make it to this year's Lebowski Fest. But I would ABSOLUTELY consider going next year, who is with me?
