Oh man, I know.
Kinda like some of the Wes Anderson movies I love so much (namely Royal Tenenbaums), The Big Lebowski is sometimes too tied up with hipster and college cultures, but I don't give a fuck, I think it's one of the best movies of its era. It should have won Best Picture at the fucking Oscars, but everyone was still so in love with Fargo that this gloriously dark existential comedy felt "beneath" critics at the time. Fuckers. It's a goddamn perfect movie. And I LOVE the Coen Brothers, so I pretty much think everything they do is insanely good.. but this is the crown fucking jewel.
They do crime and noir and tragedy so well that people forget how comedic they are at heart. I'd rank this above Fargo, No Country for Old Men and even fucking Barton Fink. One of my absolute favorite movies of all time, period.
