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!!

We had a cottage in Wales growing up in the 70s and the firm rang a lot of bells with me.

Here hare here also my favourite line in a film ever.

Beastly little parasite, how dare you? You little thug!

HexeSauerkraut · 22/09/2017 21:48

Get that damned little swine out of here. It's trying to get itself in with you, it's trying for even more advantage! It will die, it will die!

Rightpivotturn the sky is beginning to bruise - ah that's a line that sticks in my head.

He wants to get down there and have sex with them cows.

DH introduced me to to it when we met and I love it!

Every time we get fish and chips DH says to me “I've got your savaloy. Here. I don't want it.” or if he is winding me up “if you hit me, it’s murder.”

There's something quite wonderful about a firm young carrot😉🥕

HexeSauerkraut · 22/09/2017 22:00

Lots of love for this thread. I have found my people Smile

@Blondielongie once again that oaf has ruined my day, it's obsessed with its gut, it's shaped like a rugby ball as it is Grin

Spudlet · 22/09/2017 22:07

I'm preparing myself to forgive you...

KarlosKKrinkelbeim · 22/09/2017 22:07

Dh got to use "my wife is having a baby" complete with pathetic voice when stopped by police driving to get to me, just going into labour. They'd closed the road to hebden bridge over the moors which was his quickest way home (v withnail scenery).
It worked!

'Once again that little oaf manages to ruin my evening' ..or something along those lines

Just dropping in to say that I live extremely close to the withnail Lake District house. I've touched it and everything.

It's all posh and done up these days.

OstentatiousWanking · 22/09/2017 22:14

I'm going to watch it tomorrow. It really does get better every time.

sakura06 · 22/09/2017 22:17

Love Withnail! It was also my favourite as a teen, and I am also afraid to re-watch it! Brilliant lines, great soundtrack and I wanted the car.

NameChangeFamousFolk · 22/09/2017 22:21

'Four floors up on the Charing Cross road and never a job at the top of them'

'Burnt! Burnt! The fucking kettle's on fire'

Glorious film. Still wonderful.
