Ever Seen "Withnail and I" ?

[Soopafresh]

It sinks in after a few viewings. Perhaps the most quotable British movie ever.

Yes and it's the dogs nuts.

"Soup ? Why Haven't I got soup ?"

"The ****** will rue the day !"

"We want the finest wines available to humanity, we wan't them here and we want them now !"

"I demand more booze !"

[HatchetMan]

I thought it was boring. Actually, I didn't finish it because I fell a sleep.

[Soopafresh]

You have to watch it more than once. It's all character driven. Richard E Grant is fantastic.


"Booze ! I demand Booze !"

"Are you a sponge, or a stone ?"

"Scrubbers !"

"You shouldn't mix your drinks, Withnail !"

Have you played the Withnail & I drinking game ?

A film I want to see. No idea why I missed it. I loved train spotting.

It's a far superior film to Trainspotting. But, as you are a man of taste, I'm convinced you'll enjoy it, just remember it is a character driven movie.

EDIT

Is it available down under ?

Thanks.

Yes it seems it is available in the colonies
Rental costs $7.50 Buy costs $9.90. May as
well buy it.

I prefer character driven movies. I like it less
when pandora's box opens all by itself.

I recall now why I did not see Withnail. I was
having a difficult year at the time. I saw few
films in '87. Not my favorite year. :/

Excellent, I'd like to get your take on this movie. I've also recommended it to george but I don't think he can find it where he is.

At those prices who the heck would rent ?

Sorry about that - I didn't see the film in '87, I was still slightly too young then to appreciate it fully.

You'll be quoting this film for years to come after you've seen it

I thought Trainspotting was very well done, brings one back down to reality, but why are they being compared here? I do have the "Withnail & I" Criterion Collection because I heard it was so great, but can't seem to sit down to try to watch it again.

Both British I'd imagine ? I dunno you'd have to ask offline. Anyways Trainspotting is good but Withnail is in a different class quite frankly.

Your loss I suppose, although I'll recommend you try it again this time try drinking along, it may ease your suffering

Also has the advantage that if you do match Richard E Grant drink for drink you will have no recollection of the movie anyway

For our Aussie brethren.

Dogs Bollocks = Really Sick = Very Good

but...

utter dogs bollocks, or load of old bollocks = not good or bullshit

Giving a bollocking = shouting/beating
My bollocks! = good gracious me/ or bullshit
I suppose you want me bollocks 'an all? = taking over
Bollacks to that = No way
If your bollacks were'nt in a bag you'd lose them = you are easily lost
Damn the bollocks! = Drat or Darn or what the hell?
She's got you by the bollacks = pussy whipped
Big Bollacks! (sarcasm) = big man/brave man
What a waste of bollacks= (terrible waste of time)
Bollacks to you = Up yours
Oh for the Bollacks = as in Oh for the bollacks, shut up
Big hairy bollacks = Big hairy bollacks

If you've read the recent news about Tom Sizemore, you'll understand the connection to "Withnail"
