Withnail and I appreciation thread

[Doc Lynam]

Has anyone on NSC not seen this film before?
Simple story, brilliant characters and more memorable lines then you can poke a stick at!

Monty: Do you like vegetables? I've always been fond of root crops but I only started to grow last summer. I happen to think the cauliflower more beautiful than the rose. Do you grow?

Withnail: Geraniums.

Monty: Oh, you little traitors. I think the carrot infinitely more fascinating than the geranium. The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts. Prostitutes for the bees. There is, you'll agree, a certain 'je ne sais quoi' oh so very special about a firm, young carrot.

 

[Eric Potts]

Monty : You terrible c*nt .

Get in the back of the van

Certainly my favourite comedy, probably my favourite film.

 

[Eggman]

I want all the finest wines known to mankind, and I want them now!

 

[Machiavelli]

Can't think of a film with a better script, and so warm and genuine. And I don't say this too often, very British too. In a good way.

PS I appreciate the film, and appreciate the thread.

I'm having a cup of tea, do you want one?

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

I have never seen this film. I'm not a great film watcher but its just one of those I've never got round to seeing.

I cannot resist saying "Here, hare here."

I'm having a cup of tea, do you want one?

The greatest piece of music ever recorded.

"I must have some booze. I DEMAND to have some booze!" pretty much describes me on the way home on a Friday evening.

'Ice in the cider'

 

[Pondicherry]

I f--k arses? Who f--ks arses? Maybe he f--ks arses! Maybe he's written this in some moment of drunken sincerity! I'm in considerable danger here, I must get out of here at once.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Don't threaten me with a dead fish.

 

[Pondicherry]

Withnail: Are you the farmer?

I: Shut up, I'll deal with this.

Withnail: We've gone on holiday by mistake. We're in this cottage here. Are you the farmer?

I: Stop saying that Withnail, of course he's the f--king farmer!

'Perfumed ponce'

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Utterly brilliant!

 

[jimhigham]

Wonderful film. The final monologue turns the film on its head.

Carefully written to avoid spoilers for the uninitiated.

'Perfumed ponce'

I don't know what my acquaintance has done to offend you, but i can assure you, it's got nothing to do with me.


Ralph Brown - one of us.

I have a doll what shits itself.

Could be the perfect movie for a wet autumnal evening!

 

[Sergio Garcia]

I feel like a pig shat in my head.
