Withnail and I is so so good, must lash it on tonight.

Re. Frankenstein, watched it with the wee lad and we both found it disappointing and well just a slog.

Witnail is an absolute classic. How To Get Ahead in Advertising is also amazing if anyone hasn't seen it.

It's my favourite film ever. I think probably the best and most quotable script of any film.

A def contender for my top-slot British film anyway.

Never got the buzz with Withnail. Must try it again at some stage.

"Are you the farmer"  :laugh:  Withnail and I is genius. All the more amazing as Richard E Grant can't drink alcohol due to an allergy to it and based his performance on his recollections of his father drunk.

Of course he's the fuckin farmer.

Definitely got a bit of the "stoner lad in the pub never shuts up about drug movie" stink on it over the years.



Richard Griffiths steals the show in that film - every line is so quotable  :)

Enjoyed Frankenstein loads, herself too. Think my only serious gripe would be that the wrap up was a too sudden swerve.

Watched Troll 2 there, good craic. Extremely silly of course but what harm.

Watched Groundhog Day to continue the 'not quite Christmas but close enough to fit the mood' films (like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles).

Another absolutely flawless film. Apparently he was supposed to be in the loop for 10,000 days (according to the director), which is almost 30yrs. I love that's how long it took him to become a good person  :laugh:

I'll have to keep the Murray party going with Scrooged tonight I think.

Just out of The Cure. It was absolutely deadly. Worth a look if it's on in a cinema near to you.

Watched the new Running Man adaptation, was alright, stayed kinda close to the source material, but not as fun Arnie's version.

I liked it too. Really well shot like. I'll have to rewatch it though. Same as Wright's last film which I didnt like the first time I seen it. Really liked it the second time
