Withnail and I
pic from jdmfilmreviews.com
I really dig films and one film I dig is Withnail and I. Its a proper classic English movie that was produced by George Harrison’s film company HandMadeFilms. It was written and directed by Bruce Robinson. It is set in Camden in 1969 and it has songs by Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, David Dundas, etc.
It kind of reminds me of Fight Club because there’s two guys in it, and one of them is really crazy and out there, and the other guy doesn’t have a name but he’s telling the story. And they live on the outside of society and they’re trying to figure out their way of living life and how to get by. And they have these crazy adventures and something goes wrong between them at the end. I won’t say what because you need to see it for yourself.
People should watch this movie because it’s a big part of English culture– it’s the 60s and Withnail and I’s lives were changing at the same time as society was changing. And its really funny but not in an obvious way like a lot of American films can be.
I really want to watch all the films made by HandMadeFilms, which are (I struck through the ones I’ve seen):
- Monty Python’s Life of Brian (1979)
- The Long Good Friday (1980)
- Time Bandits (1981)
- Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl (1982)
- The Missionary (1982)
- Privates on Parade (1982)
- Bullshot (1983)
- Scrubbers (1983)
- A Private Function (1984)
- Water (1985)
- Mona Lisa (1986)
- Shanghai Surprise (1986)
- Track 29 (1987)
- Withnail and I (1987)
- Five Corners (1987)
- The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne (1987)
- How to Get Ahead in Advertising (1989)
- Powwow Highway (1989)
- Nuns on the Run (1990)
- The Wrong Guy (1997)
- Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)
- Welcome 2 Ibiza (2002)
- Always Crashing in the Same Car (2007)
- Fifty Dead Men Walking (2008)
I watched part of The Long Good Friday and part of The Life of Brian but I can’t remember anything about them so even though I crossed them off I need to watch them again. I’m gonna write some more film reviews on here. I feel like if people watched the movies I watch they would understand me better and there would probably be less ponces in the world.
