This film deserves its very own thread. It is probably my favourite film of all time. Oddly I had forgotten it until Richard E Grant (the star) popped up on TV earlier. There are loads of other clips on UTube, but if you haven't seen the whole thing rush out and buy/rent/steal it immediately!

Re: Withnail and I
One of the finest films known to humanity!
A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.
Salman Rushdie
You talk to God, you're religious. God talks to you, you're psychotic.
House MD
Who needs a meaning anyway, I'd settle anyday for a very fine view.
Sandy Denny
This is the wrong forum for bluffing
Paco
Yes, yes. But first I need to show you this venomous fish!
Calilasseia
I think we should do whatever Pawiz wants.
Twoflower
Bella squats momentarily then waddles on still peeing, like a horse
Millefleur

Re: Withnail and I
I saw it maybe 15 years ago, and although I remember liking it, I can't remember much about it. Probably time to see it again. 
Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

The best film in history.
I aspire to Withnail - I even got myself a heart condition.

Fucking class movie.
So bloody quotable, not to mention a deadly drinking game.

Saw this once ever as a teen. I can't remember one thing from it. Except the Cromwell Carrot. (I think it was Cromwell Carrot).

Not quite.
Withnail: Who says it's a Camberwell Carrot?
Danny: I do. I invented it in Camberwell, and it looks like a carrot.

Re: Withnail and I
I [to himself]:
I could hardly piss straight with fear. he was a man with 3/4 of
an inch of brain who'd taken a dislike to me. What had I done to
offend him? I don't consciously offend big men like this. And
this one's a decided imbalance of hormone in him. Get any more
masculine than that and you'd have to live up a tree. [he reads
the grafitti] 'I fuck arses', Who fucks arses? [aloud] Maybe he
fucks arses. [to himself again] Maybe he's written this in some
moment of drunken sincerity. I'm in considerable danger in here.
I must get out of here at once.
