20 Movie Scenes That Were Made Epic By Perfect Song Choices

9. Gutterballs - The Big Lewbowski

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FscKSB7Hh_w The Song: Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) - Kenny Rogers and the First Edition (1968) The Scene: The Dude is drugged by pornographer Jackie Treehorn which leads him to have a bizarre dream. Highlight include the 'mini Dude', Sadam Hussein working at a bowling lane and the Dude flying down a bowling alley through the legs of several women and Julianne Moore as some sort of Nordic bowling warrior. Why It's Great: Because it's just so completely out-there and totally unnecessary to the plot. But the movie wouldn't be complete without it. While the scene could work with another song, it's hard to visualise it. Not only does it fit the action of the scene, but it's something that The Dude, who never really got over the sixties ending, would listen to himself.
