Withnail and I (1987)
Based on an unfinished novel by Bruce Robinson, this cult film follows two friends who try to escape their dreary London life by fleeing to a cottage in the countryside. Though I'm not a huge fan of British humor, this is definitely a funny movie. It also uses satire to look at some darker sociological issues. Richard E. Grant plays a great Withnail, though I think he looks like Christopher Walken in this movie. Also, the soundtrack includes "All Along the Watchtower," which surprised me at first until I remembered that we're all a little bit Cylon.
My Netflix rating: 3 stars
