Jeffrey "The Dude” Lebowski (Jeff Bridges) is a slacker who doesn’t want drama in his life. But when he is assaulted in a case of mistaken identity, and his beloved rug is ruined, The Dude and his bowling buddies set off on a quest across L.A. to make things right. After all, you gotta understand, that rug really tied the room together…

In the 25 years since its release, The Big Lebowski has become a cultural phenomenon, spawning annual festivals, a religion and even two species of spider named after the film. Whether you’ve seen it enough times to abide or have yet to understand the appeal of a White Russian, you won’t want to miss this hilariously twisted comedy-thriller from the Coen Brothers. It really ties our programme together.

For centuries, Renfield (Nicholas Hoult) has served as the loyal-but-long-suffering aide to the world’s worst boss: Count Dracula (Nicolas Cage). Forced to do his every bidding, including bringing innocent prey to his bloodsucking master, Renfield has finally decided he’s had enough. Ready to see if there’s a life for him outside of the shadow of The Prince of Darkness, he joins a self-help group for people in toxic relationships in an attempt to end the co-dependency.

Putting a clever, modern-day twist on the iconic Universal movie monster, this horror-comedy delivers plenty of laughs, gore and action – with Nicolas Cage having the time of his life playing Dracula.
