Maude Lebowski
Julianne Moore's performance as Maude Lebowski – the avant-garde feminist artist and daughter of the titular Big Lebowski – is a quintessential slice of Coen cookiness. With no real clear explanation as to why, Maude speaks in the fanciful tonality of a femme fatale straight out of a '40s noir.

Walter Sobchak
As Walter puts it "Donny was a good bowler, and a good man." But he was also a man who was perpetually two steps behind the topic of any given conversation. Sweet Donny's naivete often left him inside Walter's merciless cross-hairs. When Donny hears the duo Walter and the Dudediscussing "Lenin" he assumes they mean John Lennon, repeatedly chiming in, "I am the walrus!" Walter instantly barks back at him, "Shut the f***k up Donny! V.I. Lenin. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov!". But of course, Walter's...
Jesus Quintana
The great John Turturro has long been a key player in the Coen Brother's larger stable of acting talent. After his stellar dramatic one-two-punch in Miller's Crossing and Barton Fink, a bowling-ball-licking, child sex offender was not exactly the role that folks would have expected him to take on back in 1997. Turturro himself even expressed some confusionaround the tone and the overall point of his character in the story. He has since come around on The Jesus, as the character ended up achie...
Walter Sobchak
The character of Walter was reported to be heavily inspired by the legendary screenwriter and self-described maverick filmmaker John Milius. Milius was a gun-nut, and a man singularly obsessed with the nature of guerilla warfare, despite never serving in the military himself. If Walter is indeed based on Milius, then the iconic "Over the line!" scene is the clearest evocation of that basis. When local bowler, Smokey, barely slips his toe across the threshold of the foul line, then refuses to...
Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski
In the tradition of Dashiell Hammett's hard-boiled detective novels like The Maltese Falcon, The Dude's prized, urine-soaked rug, serves as the central MacGuffin for The Big Lebowski's bewildering mystery plot line. The Dude's quest to retain his prized rug, a household item that he desperately needs to be returned as it "really tied the room together," is the impetus for numerous comedic set pieces, each and every major "plot" point of the story, and also, a lifetime of people complementing...
Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski
One of a couple of lines that get recycled throughout the movie, "This aggression will not stand man" is an enduring statement of The Dude's unique brand of spacey indignation. The Dude is a laid-back cat, but when he's been wronged, he'll let you know that "The Dude minds." He's adamant that he deserves some recompense after The Big Lebowski's goons soiled his rug. He may leave Mr. Lebowski's office getting pelted with cries of, "Condolences! The bums lost!" but The Dude walks out of his man...
Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski
Another line that is surely in the running for most-quoted-of-all-time in cinematic history, but then again that might be, just my opinion man. The Dude's classic line is so readily applicable to any kind of disagreement or decision-to-be-made in life, that it quickly became one of the most popular from the entire movie, especially once the Lebowski cult phenomenon started to build some real steam. Two things deepen the hilarity of this relatively benign line: 1. Jeff Bridges' hysterical line...
Walter Sobchak
Famously dubbed over in the TV edit with the ludicrous line "Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps!?" Walter pushes the limits of coercive interrogation in this volcanically absurd scene. Walter simply cannot abide Little Larry Seller's silent treatment any longer, not with The Dude's Johnson on the line. So he reaches into his trunk and takes matters into his own hands (matters being a crowbar). RELATED: The Best John Turturro's Movie Performances Unfortunately for him...
Brandt
One of the Coen brothers' greatest gifts is their ability to create a host of exceptionally memorable side characters. The Big Lebowski features a remarkable array of supremely funny supporting performances, none more worthy of praise than the late great Philip Seymour Hoffmanas Brandt; the obsequious and tightly-clenched assistant to The Big Lebowski himself. Like The Jesus, Brandt has precious few moments on screen, but the brilliance of Hoffman's performances, makes the character loom far...
Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski
As this is The Dude's final line in the movie, it's only right to close out this list with a three-word-phrase that has been pasted on the front of more T-shirts, and quoted in more dorm rooms, than the Coens could have ever anticipated, "The Dude abides." The actual meaning of this phrase is somewhat murky and up for debate. But one thing is clear from The Dude's tone; in this life, you get some strikes, and you get some gutters. But as long as The Dude has a J to burn, a beer to sip, and an...
