Withnail and I

[MrMiltonBanana]

I'm a big Criterion Collection guy, and thusly came across this film. Has anyone else seen it?

 

I'd like to discuss this movie.

 

 

To start things going, when I first saw this movie, I laughed so much when the British roadie from Wayne's World 2 was in it as basically the same character.

This is a great movie. Very dry, very british and very funny. It's got lots of great, quotable moments, like:

"We've gone on holiday by mistake"

and

"As a kid I used to weep in butcher shops"

 

Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys british comedy!

[mortkort]

Another quotable moment: Get in the back of the van!!

 

ahhh, what a ball i had. great movie

 

Watch it and weep, Ya crackers!

Probably my favourite film of all time. Utter genius. Quote after quote after quote.

"You can shove it up your ass for nothing and f*ck off while you're doing it."

"Monty, you terrible ****!" The only time the use of that horrible word is permitted, is when quoting that line.

"Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day".

"I called him a ponce, and now I'm calling YOU a ponce...."

Monty: Do you like vegetables? I'm a roots man myself. Flowers are essentially tarts, prostitutes to the bees

 

Class film when I read the script I laugh more than when I watch the film

"Are you the farmer?" - Said to a man driving a tractor.

 

"Here. Hare. Here."

 

"My thumbs have gone weird".

 

My heart's beating like a f*cked clock".

 

"Imagine the size of his balls. Imagine getting into a fight with the f*cker".

 

 

And one I use far too often - "Then the f*cker will rue the day".
