Withnail and I - Meet Uncle Monty

[RyuShoji]

I can no longer watch Harry Potter films and take them seriously - Harry's Uncle will forever be Uncle Monty for me.

[beedee]

sherry? sherry. sherry.

Yet again that oaf has destroyed my day...



[TheDEATHSTARIII]

goodnight my dears

[graemeoliver84]

Any minute now he's going to rush out and get into his tights.

[VincentBrooke1]

'Peter's had an audition for REP.' ?

[BeautyBeatsOfficial]

@VincentBrooke1 repertory theatre.

[VincentBrooke1]

@BeautyBeatsOfficial Oh thanks. I was actually wondering if he said 'Peter's' or 'He's just'

[MontagueWithnail]

@VincentBrooke1 Withnail says "He's just had an audition for rep." We never learn the name of Paul McGann's character, he is the "I" of the title, but he is named Marwood in the script.

[VincentBrooke1]

@MontagueWithnail Indeed, however: "in the supplemental material packaged with the Special Edition DVD in the UK, McGann's character is referred to as Peter Marwood in the cast credits". In the scene with the farmer's mum she asks, Who is it? And McGann says, Me. But it also kinda sounds like he says, Pete. Maybe it's just me... :P

[orangestreetstudios]

once again that oaf has destroyed my day!

[Bigviking556]

why does he hate the cat? he was carrying it when he opened the door. a

And why did he leave when he was talking about the firm carrot?

[primalinstinct1000]

Monty freaked me the fuck out

[knightofcydonia1000]

there is a monty out there who dislikes this

[smzf]

I enjoy this film, Monty is so spectacularly creepy. The phallic imagery of the carrot delivered with relish is scary and hilarious.

[kazimann]

"He's a mad man!"

[BigSeanP]

The terrible c@@t scene is a classic for anyone who hasnt seen it. Yes this is typically english. Makes me want to get pissed when i watch it.

[rockandroll63]

Exquisitely English and beautifully poetic. Is it the perfect English film?

[fourpointthreefive]

@rockandroll63 Don't be ridiculous!

[robgeorge87]

THE LITTLE THUG!

[j98765432123]

GET THE DAMNED LITTLE SWINE OUT OF HERE!

[gammacurve]

I will never. Play. The Dane.

[RULoathesometonight]

Quite simply a classic. I still use countless quotes today. It should be compulsory viewing for all at a certain age.

[terrycrusader]

do you mean to say,that you've been up here in all this beastly mud and oomska?

[tourrettes1]

THE Finest film ever made... End Of ! 

[modsheff1]

ive heard your a writer??

[modsheff1]

@modsheff1 sorry.....im told your a writer?...........published?

[Jazzmonkey24522]

5:14 - Free to those who can afford it, they expensive to those who can't.

One of the greatest lines in cinema history. It defines British society extremely well.

[bigmeuprudeboy]

'yet again that oaf has destroyed my day'

genius

[vickiehill1]

One of my most favorite movies. I love Monty. The cat is hilarious!!

[MrVolvomad]

Raymond Duck!!!!!!!

[mednos]

Is his uncle really gay or just pretend to be one, I don't get is?

[e7107]

@mednos

Have you seen the film? If not, you really must! It's absolutely hilarious!

Do you mean the character Uncle Monty or the actor Richard Griffiths?

The character Uncle Monty is very gay, and judging from the quote; "I mean to have you even if it must be burglary", very sexually frustrated.

The actor, Richard Griffiths has played many gay characters, and is widely assumed to be gay, but is married to a woman.

Hope this helps!

[mednos]

@e7107 Thank you for this detailed answer, I ment the Uncle Monty, I will go see the movie. Many thanks!

[raymontmasse]

@mednos no he's pretty hardcore gay

homosexuality was banned in the UK up through the 50s and into the 60s so Uncle monty's a product of that intolerance which is why his desire for guys manifests itself in weird neuroses and creepy (though possibly untintentional) metaphors

[Ruvanaha]

Uncle Monty would go on to marry another man - Petunia Dursley

[mrmister102]

MARVELLOUS FILM IVE SEEN IT COUNTLESS TIMES AND EVERY TIME I LAUGH MY HEAD OFF PURE COMEDY ALL THE WAY THROUGH

[BradBrassman]

Yet again that oaf has destroyed my day!!!!

[walkingkodi]

[MackerelCat]

He's insane, and not only that he's a raving homosexual!

[Vasyukov]

"Flowers are essentially tarts, prostitutes for the bees" - best line!

[JoshWattsBlues]

"It will die, It will die!"

[Punorss]

Oh, Hello. Sit down do. Classsic.

[Magikshroomgirl]

I just got hot over a vegetable...

[southofheaven123]

Fabulous, cheers

[southofheaven123]

Does anybody have any idea what the music playing in the background is? Debussy? I need it playing whenever I have people round my house!

[MontagueWithnail]

It's Schubert, piano sonata in B flat Op.posthumous.

[MontagueWithnail]

I should have said it is the third movement scherzo.

[sleeplack42]

@MontagueWithnail Thankyou for the pointer :)

[fso520]

@southofheaven123 I was JUST thinking that!

[ryanhancock1234]

raymond duck

[charlieflint]

"Quote from the movie".

[xXxskayaxXx]

Beastly ungrateful little swine!

[nschenk]

"There is you'll agree a certain je ne ses quoi, oh so very special, about a firm young carrot."

LoL

Oh yeah.

[lukelangley1980]

It is the most shattering experience of a young mans life , when one morning he awakes and quite reasonably says to himself - I will never...play..The Dane.

[MendozaAxel]

"It's trying to get itself in with you, it's trying to take even more advantage! It's obsessed with it's guts! Now it will die! IT WILL DIE!"

love that bit :P

[xinaesthetic]

"Yet again that OAF has destroyed my day."

[kellydaniel16]

[workshyy]

2:11 is the "fascinated horror" look Marwood reserves for Uncle Monty

[Nosmos]

[asda124]

"Oh your a thespian too!"

[kazimann]

"I will never play the dame!"

[billyshitcheese]

[jazztime100]

"I happen to think the cauliflower more beautiful than the rose...."

[annaarkadyevna]

It's trying to get itself in with you; it's trying for even more advantage! It's obsessed with its gut!

[slimjimpui]

Monty: Ohh, you went to Eton...

[lapstudios]

"It's trying to get itself in with you trying to further it's advantage. It is obsessed with it's gut, it's like a bloody rugby ball now, It will die! It will die!"

[TURBODORK2]

its a shattering moment in a young mans life when he quite reasonably says to himself I WILL never play in an Alien film

[TheSnurgle]

Oh my boys, my boys!

[MaliciousSerpent]

I know what the cat did...it walked in on Uncle Monty with its tail up showing its arse, like all cats do, and Monty, being a raging homosexual, picked it up wrong and went, 'you beastly little parasite, how dare you!'

[nmeau]

Sherry...

Sherry

Sherry?

Sherry...

Sherry!

[Loshpot]

hee hee!

[mrpish]

"Just trying to establish you in some kind of context he'd understand."

Oh yeah, that he bats for the same side as you uncle monty! Ha ha ha!! What a scene. One of my fav's of all time!!

[siegedouble07]

"I'm told you're a writer too..."

[stylecouncil85]

Love everything about this scene, even things like the way 'sherry' is said five times in a row...

[burnsybaby1987]

I only started to grooooooow last summer!!!! Haha!

[grandcranium]

When this clip ends I automatically hear All Along The Watchtower. Best. Film. Ever.

[Numboss]

"...The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts - prostitutes for the bees..."

Every line in this amazing film is so well written. In fact I think it's one of the best scripts ever.

[Isa678]

It is the most shattering experience of a young mans life when one morning he awakes and quite reasonably says to himself: i shall never...play the dane. Dont you agree?

[burnsybaby1987]

The carrott has mystery..., don't know how Mcgann and Grant didn't crack up!!!

[Muskadash]

You can prepare me a small rhesus-negative Bloody Mary.

[TomthatiscalledTom]

You beastly little parasite!!! How dare you! You little thug!! How dare you!!!

[Nosmos]

I always laugh at the way he says Raymond Duck in this scene!!!

[soundy67]

[hnelsonrip]

ONCE AGAIN THAT BEAST HAS RUINED MY DAY

[Muskadash]

There is, you'll agree, a certain je ne sais quoi, OHH so very special, about a firm, young carrot.

[MontagueWithnail]

Do you grow?

[MontagueWithnail]

Splendid, so you're a Thespian too.

[Muskadash]

It's obsessed with its gut. It looks like it's swallowed a bloody rugby ball. It will DIE, it will DIE....
