    You could start with YouTube. Most of it is on there.

    I: What about what-his-name?
    Withnail: What about him?
    I: Why don't you give him a call.
    Withnail: What for?
    I:Ask him about his house.
    Withnail: You want me to call what-his-name and ask him about his house?
    I:Why not?
    Withnail: Alright. what's his number?
    I:I've no idea - I've never met him.
    Withnail: Well neither have I. What the **** are you talking about?

    It has a well worn theme where having a good time means being out of your skull on d rink all the time. i.e Men behaving badly and absolutely fabulous. It was good back then, I dont find that lark funny any more. Richard E Grant is excellent & still is a fine actor

    I wouldn't say over-rated more like a 'cult classic' or marmite

    Withnail: [having just drunk a bottle of lighter fluid] Got any more?
    Marwood: No. I have nothing.
    Withnail: Liar. What's in your toolbox.
    Marwood: Nothing.
    Withnail: Liar. You've got antifreeze.
    Marwood: You bloody fool. You should never mix your drinks.

    **bit of trivia, for a genuine reaction the lighter fluid bottle was filled with vinegar (supposed to have been just water) and Richard E Grant was not informed, maybe everyone knows that but its interesting nonetheless!**

    Withnail & I and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead are two film that I can, and do, watch over and over. Great stuff.

    If you liked W&I, you'll love its script.

    Marwood: There's a man over there who doesn't like the perfume. The big one. Don't look, don't look! We're in danger, we've got to get out.
    Withnail: What are you talking about?
    Marwood: I've been called a ponce.
    Withnail: WHAT ****ER SAID THAT?!
    Irishman: I called him a ponce. And now I'm calling you one, PONCE!
    Withnail: Would you like a drink?
    Irishman: What's your name, Mac****?
    Withnail: ...I have a heart condition. I have a heart condition, if you hit me it's murder.
    Irishman: I'll murder the pair of yous!

    The first 40 mins is funny and well put together it sags quite a bit then and is pretty awful up to the last 10 mins which are ok. 7.7/10.

    What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason.

    The best way for me to define Whitnail and I is how ' oppisites attract ' like Alice in Wonderland on pot .
