Ok, so I know its an old film, but it's a favourite and I recently rewatched it. And I will brace myself for no replies.

But it's so good. Every line is a classic. And not many of my peers have seen it/share my sense of humour. So in case of any like minded ones...

FORK IT!!

Matter?! Where's it coming from??

I think we should go outside. I feel unusual.

I love this film so much. Even the melancholic Hamlet ending.

I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth.

What is all this tactical necessity, calculated risk? This is me, naked, in a corner!

Man delights not me, no nor woman either.

Nor woman neither.

I feel like a pig shat in my head...

These are the sort of windows faces look in at!

HOW DARE YOU call ME inhumane!

You bloody fool! You should never mix your drinks!

Something's got to be done. I'm a trained actor reduced to the status of a bum.

Much more of this, I'm gonna apply for meals on wheels

The police, Miss Blenehassit.

It is the most shattering experience of a young man's life when one morning he awakes and quite reasonably says to himself "I will never play the Dane."Grin

BulletFox · 22/09/2017 21:09

It was incredibly well written.

Wasn't it based on the writer/director's friendship with someone who went off the rails and died quite young?

I also found it interesting that richard mcgrant had never been drunk and the crew made him one night in order to know what it felt like

lozengeoflove · 22/09/2017 21:09

Don't threaten me with a dead fish!

Best film. Ever.

I don't. Drink. Antifreeze.

Withnail was based on Vivian MacKerrel.

Lilymoose · 22/09/2017 21:20

This is my favourite film of all time. MATTER! Where's it coming from!!

capercaillie · 22/09/2017 21:22

I'm in a park and I'm practically dead; what good's the countryside?

Love this film. Watched for the first time in ages earlier this year and still as good as I remember m!

Two large gins . Two pints of cider . Ice in the cider 💜

We had a Withnail society in uni where we'd watch the movie every few months, few ales and shout the quotesSmile well an early night for me so, haven't seen it in too long.

The police Miss Blinnerhassit. Just tell them there are a couple of drunks in the Penryth tearooms and we'd like them removed.

MissFitton · 22/09/2017 21:26

Oh so much of that film has entered everyday conversation between myself and DH.

"I hope it's shape does not offend your palate" as he hands me a plastic mug of wine.

What's your name? McFuck?!

As a youth I used to weep in butchers'' shops.

2 bars on and Vim under the sink.

Come along boys, the sky is beginning to bruise.

Happy sigh of contentment, this is one of my favourite films and DH and I frequently quote it to each other in all sorts of circumstances.

Why've you drugged their onions??
