I, for one, miss the RPF mods' Lebowski avatars from this most excellent movie.

Sixteen years after its release, cult classic “The Big Lebowski” is headed to the National Film Registry, among 25 films selected by the Library of Congress to be preserved as important parts of American history.The film, written and directed by the Coen brothers, flopped at the box office but then radiated as a cultural phenomenon, spawning annual festivals in dozens of cities, late-night movie showings and even its own religion built on the laid-back slacker philosophies of The Dude. The unemployed and always quotable Dude, played by Jeff Bridges, has even been cited in academic research papers over the years. Will Russell, the co-founder of Lebowski Fest, who has watched the film hundreds of times, told the Washington Post, “It’s only after 10 or 12 viewings that the film’s true beauty emerges.”
The other films added to the registry this year include “Saving Private Ryan,” “Rosemary’s Baby,” “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”
So sit back, grab a White Russian and enjoy a few surprising gems about the 1998 classic.
