Withnail left alone in the pouring rain, quoting Shakespeare to the wolves is one of the saddest moments ever put to film. With Uncle Monty's 'Never play the Dane' speech ringing ever the more true. If ever a movie was heartbreaking 'and' hilarious, this is it.

like a lot of people who have been unemployed , broke and drunk and in the company of creative friends , I saw a fleeting part of my life in this film , It captures the feeling so well and even makes you feel a sort of warmth toward that old unsustainable lifestyle . One of the films I feel the most affection towards.

Let’s not nitpick about the details and interpretation. As a film it’s just superb from start to finish; story, script, performances and locations. I first saw as a 20 something student almost 30 years ago. It was brilliant the first time gets even better with passage of time. The wasted talent theme is even more poignant as you get older and see it in everyday life. Definitely the best British film ever in my opinion.

I went to Crowcrag (Sleddale Hall) a few years ago before it was sold at public auction. Its extremely atmospheric - the ghosts of the characters Withnail, Marwood and Monty are definitely there but it was in a dreadful state. Its tiny inside you can cover the dining room in 3 strides. The grafitti covered EVERY single line in the script. Personally I think it should have been bought for the nation and transformed into a youth hostel

Not sure I agree with the conclusion. I don't think Withnail represents an artistic life. He represents the opposite of creativity. He's someone who talks about how good he is, but otherwise is slowly drinking himself to death. "Man delights not me; no, nor Woman neither" (he repeats the last time). There's something a-sexual about Withnail. Like he can't bring himself to have a real relationship. His relationship with I (Marwood) is like a proxy relationship (there's this hint they are a couple throughout). In contrast to Withnail, Marwood actually gets somewhere by the end of the film and gets out of the neglect and depravity. I think Bruce Robinson has said Marwood represented him at that time.

I find it strange how social media/modern technology has brought us all closer together so that we can all share in each other’s joys. In the UK this film has been a treasure for about 30 years, but very little known outside of this country (certainly not in America). The same with music. There is very little excuse now for a UK band or a singer who can’t ‘make it in the USA’ because with a couple of clicks 🧑‍💻 it’s there for the whole world. I give you Mr E. Sheeran - an artist who in 1995 would have stood absolutely no chance of success in America (in fact, the UK too...) but today he is one of the most successful singers in the world. Back then he’d still be in his garage cursing his luck and wondering whether he was good enough.

He said he based the character of lecherous Uncle Monty, in Withnail and I, on Zeffirelli.

Actually, I agree with many of the comments here, were the tragic in this story is mentioned . It was hilarious, but painful to watch for me the same time. (sorry I am not nativ english-speaking) I knew people, who were exactly like those in the film, even the housing was simular, the dialogs, the alcohol, the drugs. This movie could have been taken place in Berlin.
