Doesn't deserve cult status

withnallstoke · 01-02-2009, 04:12 PM

A forum dedicated to it has more cult status.

The Fresh Prince · 01-02-2009, 04:13 PM

Not sure if I've seen it. Is it the one where Ray Winston gives his wife the beating of her life?

ChiangMai noon · 01-02-2009, 04:15 PM

I disagree Thetyim, i think it's one of the greats, i never tire of watching it.

i empathise wholly with the first, post speed comedown scene.

i have had some almighty panic attacks and have often compared foot size following nights of drug abuse.
i think they nailed it.

Good film, good acting, good script, good photography
It was good but it didn't say anything.
It could never be compared to any of the true cult films by the likes of Akira Kurosawa.

Nope, thats Nil by Mouth, quality film.

Withnail and I did nowt at the box office but was discovered a few years later by some student types who introduced into the student community, It was rereleased and branded a cult movie.

I like it, its fucking funny.

Texpat · 01-02-2009, 04:35 PM

Yojimbo 用心棒 -- a classic.

Withwhatever -- never heard of it until Friday.

Times I've seen it: zero.

withnallstoke · 01-02-2009, 04:36 PM

Can be viewed on youtube in 10 minute chunks, which is shite, but at least it will give folks an idea.

50 or so, i guess.

not as many times as bugsy malone though.

anybody that hasn't seen it, really should download the torrent.

it's available on all major torrent sites, so don't say...'link'

slimboyfat · 01-02-2009, 04:57 PM

link to a major torrent site?

NickA · 01-02-2009, 05:12 PM

Whole definition of a cult film is that some people really, really like it, whilst others have never heard of it or don't like it. Otherwise it would just be popular.

Just like slimboyfat is a cult poster

Yep, I remember now. Was a good film but I remember it disturbed the fuck out of me. Watched it after a hard night in the clubs around Birmingham so probably wasn't in the best state of mind.
