Poll Results: Favorite Jeff Bridges Role

Knowing of the cult status that The Big Lebowski has achieved, it was no surprise that 'The Dude' was chosen overwhelmingly as your favorite Jeff Bridges role. Tied for a distant second were his parts in the original Tron and in Starman. The other choices were White Squall and Crazy Heart. I could have also easily thrown in Tucker: The Man and His Dream, True Grit or The Fabulous Baker Boys. All solid performances. However, everything really came together in The Big Lebowski. The original writing by the Coen brothers, the direction of Joel Coen, and especially the impeccable performances of Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi and John Turturro. Throw in a story about a unique trio, a missing rug, a dysfunctional wealthy family and bowling, and you have a movie like no other! I HIGHLY recommend that you see this movie if you haven't. Also, let me know what YOUR favorite Jeff Bridges role is and why.

Discussion: Favorite Harry Potter Film

What is your favorite film of the Harry Potter series and why? Since, I did not read the books, the entire fantasy world of Harry Potter was completely new to me. The first film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was wonderous and exciting. It also perfectly set up the foundation for the rest of the films. The ensemble of actors and the characters they played are second to none. All of the films are visually spectacular and have beautiful music scores. Also, while my son grew up with these movies as they were released, they were memorable and magical family entertainment. So, even though I also really loved Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the first of them all is my favorite.
