I’d throw in the comedy list, Caddyshack and Blazing Saddles.
The scene where Walter and the Dude spread Donny’s ashes in the ocean is hilarious. When my mom died she was cremated and she wanted me to spread half her ashes on her parent’s graves and the other half on my brother’s grave. All I could think of was the ashes scene from The Big Lebowski. And it would make me laugh. So then I had this fear I would laugh inappropriately while spreading my Mom’s ashes because of The Big Lebowski. My Mom would have thought it was funny if her ashes did get blown all over me like in The Big Lebowski which just made it funnier to me. So when we got to the cemetery, I got out of the car and was like, “Damn, I think the winds picking up.” When I spread her ashes I kinda sprinkled them out about 2-3” above the ground so the wind couldn’t catch them and blow them on me. All while trying to keep a straight face thinking, “God damn it, Walter! What was that shit about a Vietnam?”
About four years later, I thought my daughter was old enougH to watch that scene then I explained to her and my wife what I was as thinking at the time. My wife said, “Oh, now it makes sense. I thought you were spreading those ashes kinda weird.”
