Big Lebowski

The biggest thing that stood out to me in The big Lebowski was all the cursing. The movie had a plot however, it was missing an ending. The movie didn't wrap up which probably contributed to its box office flop. The movie is a cult classic because the Coen brothers have their loyal fan base. it's movie that can be watched over and over again. It's like Kevin Smith movies. I've seen every Kevin Smith movie on DVD. Never went to the movie theater and watched one. Kevin Smith made fantastic movies that didn't succeed at the box office but were huge on DVD. Clerks, Mall Rats and Dogma have to be some of the best cult classic movies of all time. I think these movies like Coen brothers movies become cult classics over time because only a certain type of person will watch them.

Hudsucker Proxy

Comparing Hudsucker Proxy to the other Coen brothers films is apples and oranges. Barton Fink, Fargo and The Big Lebowski were movies they did without any supervision. Everything cam from them and no one told them otherwise. They didn't have a studio head telling them to change scenes to make it more mainstream. I think they tried to incorporate their style in Hudsucker however, it is limited. The main scene that sticks out to me that looks like the Coen brothers is when everyone is laughing after they name Hudsucker CEO. I have absolutely no idea why they are laughing which to me seems like a Coen brothers scene. I think their movies are different then the normal studio films which is why they are a cult favorite and it takes a certain group to appreciate their movies.

Rio Bravo

Rio Bravo compared to the western genre because of the setting, plot and characters. The movie was set in a western town with the traditional saloons, wood building, clothing and transportation. The plot also fit the bill because there was the tough law enforcement hero who had a sidekick however, unlike the typical western Dean Martin wasn't such a trusty sidekick because of his drinking problem. There was the good vs. evil element in the movie as the sheriff tried to uphold the law and protect his town against the bad guys.
