FACT.
my favorite Withnail and I related anecdote is:

Richard E Grant is shooting a film in the middle of a desert,miles from anywhere,standing around waiting, as you do on film sets.

A car comes speeding past and shouts 'SCRUBBER' at him.

I feel like a pig **** on my head.

We've gone on holiday......... by mistake.

I have a heart condition. If you hit me, it's murder

There is a certain je ne sais quoi about a firm young carrot!

Oh I love that film!!!!

Kitchen scene near the start:
You don't understand. I think there might be something alive.
What do you mean? a rat?
It's possible, it's possible.
Then the ****** will rue the day!
I laughed so hard.

"I feel like a pig **** in my head" is the standard description of a hangover in my house.

And Richard E. Grant does a damn good soliloquy:

"A coward you are, Withnail. An expert on bulls you are not."

By the way, does anyone know of any American Withnail & I fans? I imagine it's the kind of humour that Americans wouldn't really get - unlike Monty Python, for example - and I was just wondering. I could be wrong.

Best tragicomedy in the history of film. It never gets old.

Yes, I know an American fan. For what it's worth, the IMDb voter demographic separates US and non-US voters, which you can see here. 7.6 is a pretty high rating for a comedy.
