I love the Big Lebowski as a film in its own right but for me it doesn't have that essentially Chandleresque seedy noir feel despite being a 'remake' of the Big Sleep. It's a bit too 'cool'. Coen brothers hit that nail on the head with The Man Who Wasn't There though (might just be because it's in black and white but hey). But yeah, BL is a must watch after the book.
Sorry,film chat in the book thread...
Recently read 69 by Ryu Murakami. A nice coming of age story set in 60s Japan.
