A truly great movie. Didn’t hurt that Helena Bonham Carter was in it!

...the defining cult movie of our time.

The Big Lewbowski begs to differ, dude.

Fun movie. The book is actually a comedy.

Oh, he has a name all right.

I loved the book, and I loved the movie. I just watched it again over the summer. It holds up well ... too well, if you catch my drift.

One of my favorite movies of that decade. Fight Club and Office Space are kind of the visible bibles of the cubicle work-farm generation.

I liked the movie. The climactic punch line stopped being funny after 911 (a little too real) but it was a good movie.

And I agree with the others about Helena. Very good in her role.

“Pitt voluntarily visited a dentist to have pieces of his front teeth chipped off so his character would not have perfect teeth. The pieces were restored after filming concluded.”

The third act, well it didn’t really ruin the movie, but it did stretch the premise a bit too far.
