The Big Lebowski 20th Anniversar­y Limited Edition 4K Gift Set (Universal Pictures Home Entertainm­ent)

-

I confess that this quirkiest of comedies took a while to grow on me, with Jeff Bridges’ Dude seeming like no more than a blonde Kramer. How wrong I was, as the future Oscar-winner’s charms eventually led The Coen Brothers’ sly tale of mistaken identities and ulterior motives from box office failure to cult phenomenon. While not Universal’s first Lebowski gift set, it’s the most elaborate so far, with pithily familiar tchotchkes—a bowling ball pencil holder for our desk, a cozy sweater to keep the 4K Ultra HD disc case warm, a polishing cloth that really pulls the set together— packed inside a collectibl­e bag. Ported bonus features, a high-def Blu-ray version, and a Movies Anywhere digital copy provide further proof that The Dude will abide for years to come.
