Keef Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Ha, thought that might get a rise out of you Mockney! I'm sticking to my guns on this, it's made me laugh a bit, but not the masterpiece everyone makes out!Then again, I nearly have giggirl a heart attack when I said I didn't get the whole Pixies thing.

Moos Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Love, love, love Withnail! I'm one of those tedious people who fall about in the pub quoting bits to one another.Also, is the JG in Donnie Darko Jake Gyllenhaal? If so, what about Brokeback Mountain, he was excellent in that. Also rather good in the Iraq War movie whose name I've forgotten.

Cassius Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Well done Moos - forget Brokeback Mountain completely - the Iraq war one was Potheads or something like that - I wasn't that impressed by it.

david_carnell Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Jarhead. Mmm, yes he was good. Although the book is better (*yawns*)Well for my two cents I love Donnie Darko - especially the great soundtrack - and am with Jeremy on the time travel/parrallel universes explanation. He allows himself to die to save his girlfriend.Withnail is also legendary. I'm with Keef on the Pixies though. *whispers and points in Sean's direction* - "Keef, maybe it's a generational thing - you know what these old folk are like..."

mockney piers Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Seriously, anyone, find me a film with a more finely honed script. Normally films like that come from theatre and rarely translate to the big screen.Withnail works perfectly in that British gritty cinema sort of way.Again, I understand people not liking it, or even hating it (and its proponents "fecking students" etc) but why deny its brilliance?

LuLu Too Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Can someone tell me definitively what this film is all about??Just watched it again....Still don't get it.Schizophrenia?Parallel Universe?Pretentious Meaningless Nonsense?Harvey reborn for the 21st century ( even tho' it's set in the 80's?)Good music admittedly!
