I think that Withnail and I is a rather perfect snapshot of an age before political correctness.
It has just about everything that would offend the easily offended. Drink driving,drug/alcohol abuse,bad language,derogatory terms for black people,gays,women and so on.If you've seen the film you'll know what I'm talking about.
It doesn't try to send a moral message about its characters they just are their glorious unfiltered selves.
Sometimes I find that progression means editing history,I'm glad that Withnail and I is such a beloved film and that people see it as the semi autobiographical observation of that time that it is.

An offbeat movie for sure. I only regret it took me such a long time to finally give it a shot. Went into it with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised.
