Today there are major festivals held in the filmâ€™s honor (Lebowskifests), a religion inspired by The Dudeâ€™s example (Dudeism), and several books which take stock of the growing Lebowski phenomenon.

Nevertheless, we contend that the Dude is only the latest in a long line of pioneering dudes, both fictional and real. Throughout history, these lounge-chair revolutionaries have helped correct civilizationâ€™s ills and excesses with a mellow, lighthearted, live-and-let live attitude.
