For our most recent FilmWeek screening event, where we show quintessential L.A. films across the city, we went to the family-owned Garden Cinema to present the Coen Brothers&rsquo; classic <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118715/">The Big Lebowski</a>. The 1998 noir-comedy opened to mixed reviews during its initial release, but has since gained cult status and even mainstream praise. In 2014, it was designated a "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant&rdquo; film and added to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. After the screening, Larry Mantle spoke with LAist FilmWeek critics <a href="http://christylemire.com/">Christy Lemire</a> and <a href="http://www.lafca.net/members/wade_major.html">Wade Major</a> about the impact of the film and their personal love for &lsquo;The Dude.&rsquo; Visit&nbsp;<a href="http://www.preppi.com/LAist" data-stringify-link="http://www.preppi.com/LAist" data-sk="tooltip_parent">www.preppi.com/LAist</a> to receive a FREE Preppi Emergency Kit (with any purchase over $100) and be prepared for the next wildfire, earthquake or emergency
