One of the coolest things about The Big Lebowski is that it’s many movies in one. It’s a buddy adventure, a stoner comedy, a noir mystery, a love story, etc. Several trailer mashups on Youtube pay testament to this fact, reimagining the movie in totally new ways. Here’s a few:

A bittersweet story about losing Donny:

A drama about Walter trying to get over the scars of Vietnam:

A cliched drama about the Dude falling apart and finding his redemption after his best friend Donnie dies

And this last one – A total tragedy
