Bruce Robinson's semi-autobiographical account of his early years as an actor has become a cult hit of massive proportions, inspiring countless numbers of young men and women to...

Trapped inside a dank, empty cabin with each other, an endless downpour of heavy rain battering their roof, the two men form a complicated bond fuelled by booze, disaster, and nihilism. Though not much happens in terms of plot, WITHNAIL AND I is one of the most subtly hilarious films to come out of 1980s.

'Have you been at the controls...?'

What can I say that hasn't been said already about one of THE best British films of the last 20 years. I originally saw this film at the cinema when it was first released. I loved it then and after countless reruns I love it still. Like most of it's avid fans I can quote most of the legendary script; with dry one-liners and scathing comment it seemed to sum up the ending of the 60s perfectly, as does the classic soundtrack.
This re-released and remastered DVD includes some great extras, with the artwork, commentary and inciteful documentary adding to the enjoyment of seeing this classic as clear as the day it was shot.
No film collection should be without this most excellent of films - if you haven't seen it yet - what are you waiting for?? If you have - you'll know what I mean...
