Withnail & I (1987)
If you don't remember the 60s don't worry, neither can they.
Starring Richard E. Grant, Paul McGann, Richard Griffiths
Directed by Bruce Robinson
Two out-of-work actors -- the anxious, luckless Marwood and his acerbic, alcoholic friend, Withnail -- spend their days drifting between their squalid flat, the unemployment office and the pub. When they take a holiday 'by mistake' at the country house of Withnail's flamboyantly gay uncle, Monty, they encounter the unpleasant side of the English countryside: tedium, terrifying locals and torrential rain.
