This film was requested by our members Felicity Taylor and Irina Boicu. Felicity writes: 'A total classic, impeccable casting (obviously Richard E Grant is fabulous but Richard Griffiths as Monty as well as Ralph Brown’s Danny steal every scene they’re in), painfully dry yet on point British humour with nary an unquotable line.'
London. The 1960s. Two unemployed actors—acerbic, elegantly wasted Withnail (Richard E. Grant) and the anxiety-ridden 'I' (Paul McGann)—drown their frustrations in booze, pills, and lighter fluid. When Withnail's Uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths) offers his cottage, they escape the squalor of their flat for a week in the country. They soon realize they’ve gone on holiday by mistake when their wits—and friendship—are sorely tested by violent downpours, less than hospitable locals, and empty cupboards.
