In the Cafe in Penrith

We want the finest wines available to humanity. And we want them here, and we want them now!

Brilliant film.

nothing happens
E Grant is just a pissed-up over-acting Hugh Grant
it tries too hard to not try too hard
don't get it

Over acting Hugh Grant........

Got to be kidding me with that statement. Hugh Grant was never heard of when Withnail and I was made.

Yawn...

Absolute classic, one of my 3 all time fav comedy films along with The Man with 2 brains and Trains, Planes and Automobiles.

"Don't threaten me with a dead fish" great line!

I am with brakes - simply don't find it funny or engaging at all. Tried to watch it several times, just lost interest fairly quickly.

rustler - I think you'll find it's:
'I mean to have you even if it must be burglary.'

To those that don't get it well it's the script and characters that's the appeal, not much of a story 'tis true.

rather obvious, but "Monty you terrible c**t" makes me giggle every time

Richard E Grant is fantastic in it. I seem to recall he is tee total and doesn't drink.

"Accident blackspot? They're throwing themselves into the road willingly to escape all this wretchedness"

"How do we make it die?"

and finally...

"Scrubbers!!! F@%# off grandad!"

I understand my "quotes" are slightly paraphrased. Didn't see it last night and hadn't seen it for a few years.

Withnail: I've some extremely distressing news.

Marwood: I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear anything! Oh God, it's a nightmare, I tell you, it's a nightmare.

Withnail: We just ran out of wine. What are we gonna do about it?

Marwood: I don't know, I don't know. Oh God, I don't feel good. Look, my thumbs have gone weird! I'm in the middle of a bloody overdose. Oh God. My heart's beating like a ****ed clock! I feel dreadful, I feel really dreadful!

Withnail: So do I, so does everybody. Look at my tongue; it's wearing a yellow sock. Sit down for Christ's sake, what's the matter with you? Eat some sugar.

It's OK, not bruilliant.
The best thing about that film for me was it introduced me to 'While my guitar gently weeps' and 'All along the watchtower'.

Marwood: Not even the ****ers on the site would drink that. That's worse than meths.

Withnail: Nonsense. This is a far superior drink to meths. The ****ers don't drink it because they can't afford it.

I love this film.

Richard E Grant is indeed teetotal, but during prior to filming he and Bruce Robinson got riotously drunk in order to get a feel for the character (according to Robinson himself). Grant later described it as being "deeply unpleasant".

Don't forget the Withnail & I drinking game, which consists of keeping up, drink for drink, with each alcoholic substance consumed by Withnail over the course of the film. All told, Withnail is shown drinking roughly nine and a half glasses of red wine, half a pint of cider, one shot of lighter fluid, two and a half shots of gin, six glasses of sherry, thirteen glasses of whisky and half a pint of ale.

Marwood: I have just narrowly avoided having a buggering, and have come in here with the express intention of wishing one upon you.

Deeply dull and massively overrated in my opinion. Some good dialog doesn't makeup for the lack of a coherent plot,Richard E Grants appalling over acting or McGann's inabilty to act at all.Richard Griffiths and the chicken sat upright in the oven being the only things in it worth seeing.

That's just my opinion mind

not so much of a quote as the whole of Danny's piece about the time that (for reasons best kept to himself) he needed to procure a suit for the coalman's court appearance.

Don't like it all not funny in the slightest, seems to one of those films that attracts those that say they like it because it's cool to. Probably the same people who hate Tescos because they think it's thing to do.

Not sure I did, I only insulated those that like it because they think they should. There's those that will like it though as they have no taste in films.

Proper LOL at the Jawa 🙂

I think it's a charming film which has brought tears of laughter to my eyes on every viewing. I only pity those who are unable to share this joy 😥

The out of control overflowing piss tube bit is the funniest thing I've seen in any movie. Had me laughing for 15 minutes, and that's after watching the film for the 4th time.

Never made it to the end, can't really get into it. I've always thought it's one of those 'rite of passage' films people associate with a particular time and get a soft spot for it, but if it doesn't play that role for you it's not that great.

At Tesco - using auto checkout after being hounded there by the work shy checkout guy.
DVD (in security box, not withnail and I) rings it up and passes it to the "assistant" to de tag, free from box, I carry on and ring up rest of shopping...
Me - can I have the DVD you were detagging for me?
Ass(ist) - I gave it to you
M - No, I don't believe you did
Ass - Yes, I did, I definately did.
M - No, look (showing bags conspicuously not contataining the DVD) You put it down on the table
Ass - No I didn't. (quite stern) I took it out of the box and handed it back to you. I remember it quite clearly.
M - well that not what I remember happening, can you check
Ass - I don't need to I gave it to... (looks down, sees it where she put it) There is is (thrusts it in my direction and storms off)
M - THANK YOU!
I pay, leave, and only go back if in dire need and they don't get any family or extended family custom. Went from spending a considerable money there to nothing for 2 years and about £15 a month now.
