"Way out west there was this fella...fella I wanna tell ya about. Fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski."

What is The Big Lebowski, you say? Well, if you have to ask...not only is it one of the biggest and best cult movies of our time, but more importantly, this Coen Brothers classic is an outrageously insane comedy of bowling, confused identities, naked performance art, nihilistic ferret owners, and some unforgettable musical dream sequences—oh, and some guy called "The Dude."

Our annual screening of The Big Lebowski has become one of our biggest summer events! Not only do you get to see this fantastic film on the big screen, but we throw in plenty of pre-show festivities to really tie things together. There will be a costume contest and, of course, bowling! We've collected a ton of Dude-themed prizes to hand out; so dust off your bathrobes, work on your Walter impressions, and come celebrate this cult sensation! (Just don't pee on our rugs, man.)
