The Frugal Theater: "Withnail and I"

Again. Someone offers you the chance to watch something on Criterion for free, the answer should be an ecstatic "YES."

Check out this ultimate cult classic of '60s Brits and one amazing alcoholic. Like seriously, freakin' drunk. You'll be screaming "SCRUBBERS" and drinking lighter fluid in no time. If this were set now, these two would be filthy college room-mates...



Still not sold? Take a sip of this:

You won't believe this, but I found this movie in pristine quality at the local movie shop along with about 30 other criterions thus far. Same quality, a buck fifty apiece. Loved this film- just finished it. Have you seen "For All Mankind"? If not, BUY IT NOW!

Dude! The "Scrubbers!!" line kills me every time.

But yeah, but those friggin' Criterions. And ... I was close to buying "For All Mankind" recently actually... I chose "The Seventh Seal..." "Mankind" is next.
