DVD & BLU-RAY PICKS
The Big Lebowski (Universal Pictures): The 1998 Coen Brothers comedy about an LA stoner called The Dude (Jeff Bridges) initially struggled to find a mainstream audience, but over time became one of the most significant cult films of its era. The circular plot revolves around a kidnapping but is chiefly memorable for its fantastic array of characters, expertly played by a cast including John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, David Huddleston, John Turturro, Julianne Moore, Ben Gazzara and Peter Stormare.
