12 Iconic Movie Characters Who Aren't As Cool As You Remember

5. The Dude - The Big Lebowski

This stupid hippy has become a pop culture heavyweight to the extent that I'm fearful of the amount of hate I'm going to receive from people for disgracing the good name of The Dude. But when we're not hallucinating about bowling in the stars, we should all remember that his name is Jeff Lebowski, an unemployed slacker back here on planet Earth. As well as being jobless, Lebowski's prized possession is a rug, and his favourite past-time - when he's not getting stoned, of course - is bowling. It's no wonder that the man with a silly nickname spends his time hanging out with a sociopath incarnation of John Goodman and someone that looks as creepy as Steve Buscemi.
