Bowling movies: Kingpin v. Big Lebowski
Two different types of comedy, one somewhat gross and one somewhat trippy, but both fabulous.

Do you favor one over the other or are they apples v. oranges and not comparable?

1. Big Lebowki.
Don't make me say it again Donnie! Tuturro as Jesus, just a couple that come to mind and the classic. I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in, yeah, yeah. The DUDE just wants his rug.

3. Lebowski by far
It's the best covert tribute to Raymond Chandler an unemployed stoner bowler with a White Russian fixation could conceive.

Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax.

4. No contest
The clincher: Best.Xmas.Gift.Ever.

(My son's going to be so thrilled--will arrive with a liter of homemade Kahlúa for good measure.)
