If George Harrison had done nothing else besides make this thing he would still go down as one of the shining spirits of our time. Even without Monty Python, much less his own music (when you add the Beatles to that it is truly incredible) -- and I don't think the ending is tragic, I actually think it's triumphant. _We_ are watching his Hamlet and in a sense the artist's audience is always imagined and always evanescent -- Mozart said he wrote Don Giovanni "for twelve of my friends"
Gosh... ive always felt the ending IS tragic. Only found out the other day, that originally the ending had Withnail taking his own life... not sure how true that is.
Apparently he was to fill the barrel of a shotgun with wine and do the deed. Since the real life inspiration for the character lived a long life, I'm content with the ending they went with.
totally agree,i can remember every line in this movie. don't threaten me with a dead fish, haha.man delights not me; no, nor woman neither, nor woman neither.
I watched this for my first time when I was 16 when I started smoking hash and my brother came in with it one Friday night so I got stoned got a pizza and sat and watched it honestly iv never laughed so much it were fkn great iv never saw any movie come close to this they were the days 😊
Wow! Yeah... i've watched it perhaps twenty times over the years. But it's at least thirty years since i watched it stoned. I've been thinking about starting to smoke the occasional joint again, and this film might be as good a reason as any.
I love this film. I've loved it for years. I loved it differently when I was younger and drunker than I love it now I'm older and sober. It makes me sadder now.
Gavin McInnes got me to watch this movie. It was like discovering The Big Lebowski. Love finding old films I’ve never heard of that instantly become a favorite.
1:20 he's got a point. i have seen and heard what happens when people mix their drinks and how that ended was with someone ending up in the hospital. best case scenario is what withnail does at 1:24.
Absolutley Fantastic Cinema !! Have'nt watched this Film a long time , had Forgotten just how Iconic and Wonderfull it still is !!!! I grew up wiith these People in the 70s early 80s!!! It's a Big part of who I am!!!. Don't regret a moment , but now 'I've got the Fear' !!!!....(
My mom told me about this film a while back, it’s easily my favourite movie, Robert e grant was such an enjoyment to watch I couldn’t believe I’ve never heard of or seen this movie before.
Richard E Grant was the 9th Doctor in 'Scream of the Shalka' the new Doctor Who web animation that was was then made non Cannon as the live action one was announced during making. So for a short time, this was the 8th and 9th Doctor go on holiday...
Two of the best performances ever bar none. I’ve only seen this film a couple of times, and that was years go. 2.29 was waiting for Garth and Wayne to show up 😂
We get the briefest glance of the Jag swerving south with Hendrix opening ‘Voodoo Child” - and they nearly did not film/create that moment. They’re going to make it,… which means it continues.
Just happened to find something on my random feed that said The Big Lebowski is the most quotable movie of all time. My first thought was Withnail & I, and here I am - throughout this whole clip I recited every scene word for word. Needed some Monty clips though - "I mean to have you even if it's burglary..."
Drinks liter fluid. "Liar, what's in your toolbox? You've got antifreeze'. "You bloody fool,.you should never mix your drinks The whole film is perfectly balanced and you see deeper layers each time you watch it. You can't just watch it once. It takes you on a journey with each run through. It starts out as a comedy but it's actually a tragic tale really.
It was actually vinegar Bruce Robinson put in the lighter fluid tin, without telling Richard E. Grant and that's the actual reaction and also on the first take, is what we see! The director wanted a natural reaction to the fluid, hence the vinegar.
@@julieslater8060 Lol.I'm always ready with the follow-on..''Now which one of you will be a splendid fellow and go down to the Rolls for the rest of the wine'' ? Gives a more rounded finish.
Does anyone remember a cut of Withnail and I where Danny has said how Law rather appeals to him and a spaced Withnail finds it hysterical... Marwood is fretting over the landlord's threats and Withnail laughs, "Give it to my solicitor" in reference to Danny? I think THAT was my favourite line but i havent seen it for twenty years! Mandela Effect???!!
Sorry but the single best moment in the movie is Uncle Monty in full makeup, threatening burglary. I guess your title was specific, the best moments of the two lead characters.
1:05. Fuct up film fact. That's real lighter fluid Richard E. Grant is drinking. The container was originally full of water but director Bruce Robinson switched it for real lighter fluid and didn't tell the actor. Grant's reaction (and subsequent vomiting) is real. Which is exactly what Robinson wanted. Guerilla filmmaking at it's best. Lol. 😆
Hispanics wouldn't like this too much I don't think, too different culturally. Which is ironic since the LatAm social heirarchy is very similar to England's, which plays a huge part in the movie.
And what do you do for fun. Stand at you rwindow, twitching your curtains, being bitter towards everyone on your street. Right barrel of laughs you mate.
Probably one of the most underrated movies ever... And who ever agrees with me deserves a pair of good quality rubber boots.

It's fantastic. Check out "nil by mouth" if you haven't seen it.

"Withnail and I best moments" - *whole movie plays*
For real though. This movie is one of the best 80s films of all time.
Not a single Monty clip? Scandalous! My Boys My Boys, we're at the end of an Age...

I shall never play the Dane.

Truly a masterpiece. Some of the greatest characters ever written , and like a fine wine it ages beautifully.
Marwood every time Withnail opens his mouth: 😮
literally
My favorite film of all.. I will judge those that loathe this fabulous film. They have zero taste.
The entire film is superb. ❤

Oh my boys my boys, we are at the end of an age, shat upon by the tories, shuttled up by labour, but here we are the last bastions of beauty,

In real life the actor has an alcohol allergy. He only ever got drunk once in his life, and that was in preparation of this role
@@whynaut1and they put vodka in the lighter fluid scene to give him a shock
Still sob at the end.. beautiful
Hilarious irony is Richard E Grant is allergic to alcohol
True...but Richard otherone isnt

'GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN!!'...timeless.
What's truly remarkable is that they ever found their way to the cottage and back.
_"Look at Geoff Woad! He'd probably tell you what he was going to do to you, before he did it."_
Love that line.
A best moments would be the WHOLE movie!
Theey will laugh at this in 500 years from now!
I'm surprised this wasn't the full film!
dinklage sent me here. Next, im off to watch the whole thing! I miss these British dark humor movies/shows!
Gavin McInnes got me to watch this movie.

Big lebowski is boring
Of course he's the fucking farmer!
'You should never mix your drinks'

Yes but Withnails idea of mixed drink includes a bottle of antifreeze. Not moving onto Rum and Cokes from beer
For you that was a giraffe fart I'm afraid.
I *think* lighter fluid and antifreeze is alright, though.
Missed “I’m actor, reduced to the stakes of a bum” 😭😭
TRAINED actor reduced to the STATUS of

Without doubt the Finest Film Available To Humanity 😂😎
The thumbnail for this video is glorious
I love the way Danny talks🤣
Aka 'cultured cockney'.I did hear the character he was based on made it big in finance in later years.
don’t threaten me with a dead fish!
Top 10 films ever. Clever, when it doesn’t even realise it
"Two large gins, two pints of cider. Ice in the cider."
Danny is my favourite character 😂😂
Love this film
The 8th Doctor and The Great Intellegence.
He was darned good as the Monocled Mutineer i recall.Lucky chap even got some tonsil tennis in with the gorgeous Cherie Lunghi too.Jammy beggar.
Richard E Grant was the 9th Doctor in 'Scream of the Shalka' the new Doctor Who web animation that was was then made non Cannon as the live action one was announced during making.

Every line is memorable. Been busy monty? As a bee!
Just SO SO good!
Went to see the play in Birmingham, it was excellent
This video need to be 3 times as long (at least) to capture all it's best moments. The perfect movie :)
The 8th Doctor and The Shalka Doctor
Classic film
A true classic
For the v2 version, don't forget "Here, hare, here..."
Drinks liter fluid. "Liar, what's in your toolbox? You've got antifreeze'.

I've been to Uncle Monty's cottage.
About 14 farmers gates and 2000 sheep to battle through, but it was worrh it.
I hope your fuel and wood situation wasn't too bad.
I'm rich but frugal, my flat looks like this, best of all worlds.
This should just be the whole film.
How can you have a best moments medley and have no scenes with Monty in it. Along with Withnail he's one of the 2 best characters...
Crackin ' film !
A Johnny Depp comment brought me here.
Best moments and no uncle Monty??
sorry he creeps me out sm
😆 Yes, he is creepy. But he is part of the point the story makes.

@@CaptainGrimes1 Ahaha... perfect!
He was a perv
No Camberwell Carrot? 😂😂😂
I'm preparing myself to forgive you...
How many times have I said that 😅
1:05 that is clearly not booze.
That’s because it’s lighter fluid
It was actually vinegar Bruce Robinson put in the lighter fluid tin, without telling Richard E. Grant and that's the actual reaction and also on the first take, is what we see! The director wanted a natural reaction to the fluid, hence the vinegar.

I shall have you, even if it means burglary

Any reason why Monty is omitted entirely when he's probably the best character in the whole thing?
he's not funny to me, he's just way too creepy
Does anyone remember a cut of Withnail and I where Danny has said how Law rather appeals to him and a spaced Withnail finds it hysterical... Marwood is fretting over the landlord's threats and Withnail laughs, "Give it to my solicitor" in reference to Danny?
I think THAT was my favourite line but i havent seen it for twenty years!
Mandela Effect???!!
they were so gay its unreal
Not hard to se where the show BOTTOM had their inspiration from.
When they go to Monty’s house scene? ?
George Harrison.
Well done, missed the best lines ya cnut
ur so sweet
Scrubbers!
Don't attempt anything without the gloves...
