Has anyone on NSC not seen this film before?
Simple story, brilliant characters and more memorable lines then you can poke a stick at!

Monty: Do you like vegetables? I've always been fond of root crops but I only started to grow last summer. I happen to think the cauliflower more beautiful than the rose. Do you grow?

Withnail: Geraniums.

Monty: Oh, you little traitors. I think the carrot infinitely more fascinating than the geranium. The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts. Prostitutes for the bees. There is, you'll agree, a certain 'je ne sais quoi' oh so very special about a firm, young carrot.

Can't think of a film with a better script, and so warm and genuine. And I don't say this too often, very British too. In a good way.

PS I appreciate the film, and appreciate the thread.

I have never seen this film. I'm not a great film watcher but its just one of those I've never got round to seeing.

I f--k arses? Who f--ks arses? Maybe he f--ks arses! Maybe he's written this in some moment of drunken sincerity! I'm in considerable danger here, I must get out of here at once.

Withnail: Are you the farmer?

I: Shut up, I'll deal with this.

Withnail: We've gone on holiday by mistake. We're in this cottage here. Are you the farmer?

I: Stop saying that Withnail, of course he's the f--king farmer!

Wonderful film. The final monologue turns the film on its head.

Carefully written to avoid spoilers for the uninitiated.
