I'm a bit of a boffin on Withnail & I :)

Oxforshire shoegazers Ride used audio clips from W&I on the track Cool Your Boots from their Going Blank Again album.

Everyone has a favourite quote from the film - what's yours?! Mine is the "finest wines known to humanity" one.

Interestingly - Richard E Grant - who probably plays the most famous alcoholic in British cinema history - hates alcohol and has never drank it!
 
Yes - I hear that that was Grants defining "I'll never drink again" moment!:D I must get that book!

He also plays a right boozer on Posh Nosh (wife cooks -he opens endless bottles of wine).

Does it well considering his aversion to the demon drink - don't you think!!?!
 
"Ice in the cider"

"Have you been at the controls?"

W: "My family don't like me being on the stage"
M: "Then they must be delighted with your career":p

Apparently McGann still gets asked by barmen if he wants "ice in his cider".

Anyone seem How To Get Ahead in Adverising? (also Richard E Grant - same era) I didn't like it at all.
 
"The sky is beginning to bruise, night must fall and we shall be forced to camp"

Love his pronunciation of "br-r-r-r-roooooose". :)
 
I have never seen it, although from clips I have seen it looks really good.

I keep hoping that it will be shown on TV, but maybe I will have to get it on DVD.
 
one of the funniest movies ever made, with superb characters, acting, and a wonderful script. never ever get sick of watching Withnail.

"i'm sitting down to enjoy my holiday!"

"don't threaten me with a dead fish!"

"we've gone on holiday by mistake..."

excellent :)

"ive got the fear"
"what F***** said that?"
