Bruce Robinson | UK | 1987 | 107m
with Richard E. Grant, Paul McGann and Richard Griffiths

The finest cult film known to humanity!

Camden Town, the arse-end of the sixties. Two struggling, unemployed actors decide some respite is in order and so depart their miserable flat for a week at a cottage in the Lake District – one that will involve rain, booze, minimal supplies, a randy bull and an even randier Uncle Monty.

Loosely based on the real-life experiences of former actor turned writer/director Bruce Robinson, Withnail and I has become one of British cinema’s most fondly remembered comedies. A cult film in the truest sense that has also become a classic.

Perfectly cast – with career-defining roles for Richard E. Grant, Paul McGann, Richard Griffiths and Ralph Brown – and crammed with irresistibly quotable dialogue, Withnail and I is a sheer delight, even on the umpteenth viewing.

"The dialogue is famous and quoted; in the U.K., certain lines are widely recognized. “I can’t get my boots on when they’re hot,” “Those are the kind of windows faces look in at,” “Warm up? We may as well sit round this cigarette,” “My thumbs have gone weird!” and Danny the drug dealer’s “Hairs are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.”" - Roger Ebert (writing in 2009), RogerEbert.com
