Featured Film:

The Big Sleep and The Big Lebowski at the Central Cinema

A classic double feature at the Central Cinema this week, with the pairing of Howard Hawks’s seminal Raymond Chandler adaptation The Big Sleep with The Coen Brothers’ riff on Chandler, Los Angeles and bowling, The Big Lebowski. We discussed The Big Sleep back on the inaugural episode of The Frances Farmer Show, and both films are part of our Seattle Screen Scene Top 100 Films of All-Time Project. We’ll be announcing the next twenty titles to join that illustrious list this week.
