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

"making an enemy of our own future" Downright profound that.

Withnail walking in white with cream claiming there wasn’t much in the tube is classic of that mate who you love but is a selfish git.

One of the best movies of the 1980s, and a true reminiscence of the Sixties. The Sixties claimed a lot of casualties, like Withnail. Those who survived, like Marwood, spent the rest of their lives mythologizing that time. A profound and true film.

"How can I possibly know what we should do?" I have to admire the sheer despondency of that line.

_"Even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day. And for once I'm inclined to believe that Withnail is right. We are indeed drifting into the arena of the unwell."_ Profound.

I don't think this movie could be improved it's as close to perfect as you can get.

Love the fact he's walking around half naked and complaining about the cold.

"You bloody fool you should never mix your drinks" amazing

Richard E grant mentioned that in rehearsals they used water for this scene, but for this take unbeknownst to him, there was vinegar in the bottle when they were shooting. It was a single take.

"Rubbish! I haven't seen Geilgud down the labour exchange"...a line offered with near 100% sincerity as if he really believes that Geilgud is his competition and somehow the reason work is not forthcoming. This script is so perfectly highlighting the fundamental hubris of youth. Throughout the film it's also as if Withnail views even his own personal, physical, and professional collapse as the most essential privilege of his aristocratic heritage.

"Wasn't much in the tube, nothing left for you" *covered ind deep heat from head to toe

"I must have some booze. I demand to have some booze!" Best quoted when walking into a party or pub :D

Tis the most shattering experience of a young man's life, when he awakes one morning and quite reasonably says to himself: I shall never...play...the Dane. When that day comes, one's ambition ceases.

One of the greatest character films of all time with just the best dialogue. Amazing script by Bruce Robinson.

There is not one crap scene in this film the dialogue is genius!

This is kind of like the British midnight cowboy.

Rejuvenate? I'm in a park and I'm practically dead.

Day four of quarantine...

Lighter fluid, Deep Heat and anti freeze. Now there's a cocktail I hadn't thought of.

It's like Greenland in here. Gets me every time 😂😂

Arguably the best film ever made, but to see it warts and everything that makes it so great you need to watch the original with all the out dated language, a true story of friendship!!!!

The sight of him covered in Deep Heat.,truamertised me in my younger days

What happened to my agent? Bastard must’ve died

What happened to my agent ? The bastard must have died !

One of the greatest scripts and casting in the history of film.

I was reading a book about William Huskisson, a former MP and statesman from the early 1800s, who another fellow Simon Garfield described as having 'drifted into the arena of the unwell' shortly after his birth. Huskisson was a clumsy old sod who eventually was hit by a train and died - hence the comment. Probably just chance that Robinson eventually used the same turn of phrase 200 years later, but still. Interesting little coincidence.

Is this movie was ever remade it would be sacrilege. You can never remake perfection

even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day, cool your boots

Bruce Robinson said he was quite proud of the script and dialogue, but then he said he decided to end the film with dialogue from a writer whose genius is utterly incomparable and untouchable. I'm paraphrasing as I can't remember his exact quote.

love this film, reminds me of happier times,

Absolute classic...a rubber glove and lighter fluid will always cure a cluck! Lol

This is just the funniest film I have ever seen

'Two pound ten a tit, and a fiver for his arse'. A great line that was cut from many releases of this film.

he had me at Antifreeze

You should never mix your drinks

Covered head to toe in Deep Heat: "Wasn't much in the tube. Nothing left for you" 😂

Such an iconic film, watched first in my student days …. One of my flats we lived in was similar….always a great watch…

"Rubbish! Haven't seen Gielgud down the labour exchange." 🤣

As if Gielgud retiring would help his career 🤣🤣🤣

Superbly written and sublimely acted, especially the part where they go on holiday............by mistake!

As of 9 December 2019, three people have drifted into the Arena of the Unwll...

Priceless. Like the Drunken Bakers in Viz.

He didn’t have to wait until 12, he would have known the market pubs were open for an early drink..

I'M A *TRAINED ACTOR,* REDUCED TO THE STATUS OF A BUM! I love how when he says this, he raises his hand in the air the way you stereotypically picture Hamlet holding Yorick's skull. Brilliant little flourish.

I think I love him

Imagine if the American's tried to remake this... it would probably be set in a loft in Manhatten and all the booze and drug references removed..

What happened to my agent? *Bastard* must have died.

In the end, we all part.

I'm a trained actor, reduced to the status of a bum!

Bwahahaha never heard of this movie. Thanks Pennsylvania, USA

"You've got anti-freeze!" 😂

There are places in my city which no longer put the covid handwash out for customers because the homeless alcoholics were taking it to drink.

Great movie

If you don't want to mix drinks just call it a cocktail......ha! ha!

Midnight Cowboy or Withnail And I for the win? Discussions very welcome 😆

Ice in the cider

Ah, it's so nostalgic. Reminds me of my pre-teen days.

The lighter fluid was vinegar, courtesy of Bruce Robinson.

Beckett. 'Nuff said.

halo varga - future.

I have tried to show this film to American and Canadian friends, expecting they will find it as hilarious and meaningful as I do, and they simply don't get it. In fact, they are affronted by it as vulgar and offensive.

You should never mix your drinks 😂

The incel culture is the new world of the unwell

a masterpiece

How did they ever deliver these lines with straight faces?

Here hare here.

I demand to have some booze!!!

It's an incredible testament to how faultless the dialogue writing is here that it takes a film that is, essentially, about nothing and wrings profundity from it

I noticed recently that there are very few single shots of the two main protagonists, apart from when they're alone of course. Most of the time they are both in frame at the same time...

Jesus! look at that. Apart from a raw potato that the only solid to have passed my lips in last 60 hours...

Great movie for revisiting 0:28

Give my regards to Danny.

Making an enemy of our own future. Been there done that.

Richard E Grant Y’know, Richardy

An out of work actor wouldn’t be up at 8am..

"If my father's your father." I seemed to remember a longer line. Nope, but got the meaning. He's saying you wouldn't get money if your father was mine. Or was he?

Liar! What's in your toolbox?!

2:31 I will literally never understand pre-decimalisation currency. If £2 and ten old pence is a quarter of £10, does that mean that there was just 20 old pence in a pound?

Great cult movie. Sad they never made a sequel.

Don’t mix your drinks

i demand to have some booze , 😂

I want to watch this again but am too tie to pay for it the bastards

One of you scriptwriters out there write a script for Withnail's opinion of lock-down.

The only gripe i have with this otherwise perfect film lies with the characterisation of Withnail. If he was a member of the ruling classes, the cold would not bother him a jott, accustomed as they are with largeley unheated homes.

🤕. 💖. 🤕

Bad patch...

I'm just curious, is this a gay movie?

LIAR!!

Its only a matter of time before its remade

There was vinegar in the lighter fluid bottle and he wasnt told before hand

Great movie to be revisited 0:28
