Few films hold up like The Big Lebowski. At 61% across 143 head-to-head matchups, it wins consistently regardless of who it faces. The Dude abides, and so does his vote share. The Coens built a film that improves on every rewatch, which means its ballot strength compounds the older its audience gets. It sits in the top 10% of 1990s films.

Synopsis

Jeffrey 'The Dude' Lebowski, a Los Angeles slacker who only wants to bowl and drink White Russians, is mistaken for another Jeffrey Lebowski, a wheelchair-bound millionaire, and finds himself dragged into a strange series of events involving nihilists, adult film producers, ferrets, errant toes, and large sums of money.

The gap between The Big Lebowski's best and worst round is just 4 points. That kind of steadiness is unusual — most films look different depending on when you check on them. This one doesn't.

The Princess Bride at 50% is as close to a dead heat as the platform produces. Every vote matters in this one. The 75% rate against The Godfather is among the most lopsided in The Big Lebowski's history. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy at 70% is another comfortable win.
