Withnail & I.

First of all I didn't know there were people who have watched this film 30 or 40 times.
I've watched it maybe 5 or 6 times over the years and it's definitely in my top 6 movies. In fact if you're English and of a certain age it's probably one of the funniest movies ever made.

I love Bruce Robinson's description of Withnail.

"If you were an artist withnail would argue that he could paint a better picture than you, if you were a photographer he would claim that he could take a better photograph, if you were a sculpture he would no doubt be able to sculpt a superior statue, the trouble with him was he never actually did anything... except babble on about writing his memoirs"

Here, is a very good review of Withnail. Superb review.

Probably the most quotable film of all time. Absolutely brilliant dialogue and Richard E Grant is so perfectly cast, even though he’s teetotal.
