The Movie: Withnail and I (1987)
What Is It?: A
pair of wine-soaked drama students escape their vile London flat for a weekend
in the country side. Utter hilarity ensues as they continue to imbibe at a
prodigious rate, and demand the finest wines available to humanity, which they
want here, and they want now. Richard E. Grant makes his star potential
abundantly clear, but it’s Ralph Brown who steals the show as a drug dealer.
When he spikes you, you’ll know you’ve been spoken to.
Why Today?: Today
is Drink Wine Day.
