That's a bonkers film - Hardy is immense in it - I think when Bronson first met Hardy he was less than impressed, so Hardy went and bulked himself up.

I found Withnail really hard work - ended up watching it in 15-minute segments - only because when I start something I feel obliged to finish it.

Philistine! :-))

Maybe it's aged, but I watched this again and pissed myself.

Of course, I had the good fortune of seeing the Hamlet soliloquy delivered on the Waverley in a squall by an amateur actor/engineer on the poop deck. Very touching.
