Maico * (Maic0)

I don't think I could compliment a film anymore. First of all Danny Boyle is one of the best directors ever. Ewan McGregor is one of the best actors ever. Together they make one of the most perfect actor director teams ever. Danny really brings out the best in Ewan and vice versa. The first scene of Renton and his friends running down Princess Street in the center of one of the greatest citys on the planet is just iconic. This film is like a photograph. It captures what the 90's were like for a lot of young people living in Edinburgh at the time. For me this is my favorite film of all time. It has everything. And it was released on the exact date of my 6th birthday. I think you'd have to be mad, and not in the good way, not to like this film even a little.

I love this film so much you'd probably find it hard to comprehend. I love all the performances and the plot itself. Richard E. Grant gives a performance of a lifetime and one that nobody should miss out on for the world. I love that just about every line in the film is something you would want to quote. "We want the finest wines available to humanity. And we want them here, and we want them now!" I love all the things that are involved in the making of the film as well. Like the scene where Withnail downs a bottle of lighter fluid, the director filled it was vinegar to get the right reaction from Grant. I also have to mention the stunning artwork from Ralph Steadman who uses his famous Gonzo style which was also used in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Which also happens to be another favorite of mine), and was a good friend of Hunter S. Thompson who I also just happen to love. This is a must see film and I really can't stress that enough.
