I have to do it. Poll question: How many of you own a copy of "The Big Lebowski"?

18. Allow me to add my own plaudits for the Coen Bros.' True Grit.

I don't remember ever seeing the John Wayne version - can't stand the guy - so the Coen version was a whole new thing for me.

I thought it was absolutely amazing. I remember sitting there just open-mouthed in awe through much of the movie. It totally blew me away.

Saw it at the theater with my dad, and we talked about it for weeks afterward. It was like, after seeing THAT movie, how are any other movies ever going to measure up to such sublime perfection of the art of film?

Jeff Bridges was awesome, he just had that character down! It's hard to find words to describe what a stunningly perfect performance he made of it. The whole cast was pitch-perfect through and through. As someone else mentioned, the art direction was fabulous, too. A seamless movie, not a single jot out of place.

So, yeah, get your hands on it. I can't imagine that you'd be disappointed in any way.
