Withnail and I (Re-watch)

I forget how many times I've seen this film. I think the last time I saw it was at the cinema in Kichijoji, Tokyo. I have a vague memory that the art house cinema in Kichijoji was closing down, and allowed its visitors to vote which films they would like to see in the run up to its closure. This was one of the films they chose, and I love that the film has as much of a strong following in Tokyo as it does in the UK.

I won't drone on about how much I love this film, but I'll just say that I think it's one of the best endings to a film ever made. It never fails to resonate emotionally with me.

Such a sad and funny film. 9/10
