“The Big Lebowski” to Screen in the Park

Voting has closed on the Indie Memphis Late-Night Movie Contest, and
the winner is The Big Lebowski. The Coen brothers’ cult comedy
will be shown on the big screen at the Levitt Shell in Overton Park on
Friday, October 9th, as part of an Indie Memphis program that will
start with Elvis Presley’s 1968 “comeback” television special and
include the Memphis Music at SXSW documentary.

Among the five candidates that were open to public voting,
Lebowski won big, garnering 38 percent of the vote. The
runners-up were Shaun of the Dead (22 percent), Dazed and
Confused (17 percent), and Monty Python & the Holy Grail
(17 percent). Caddyshack trailed with 6 percent of the vote.

The Big Lebowski will screen at roughly 10 p.m., after the
music docs. Admission is free. In the event of inclement weather, the
screening will be rescheduled for Friday, October 16th. See IndieMemphis.com for more info.
