Yeah I'm a huge fan of AGI. Up there with my favourite director's and Amores Perros is an amazing film. I'm not sure it's the best in his loosely arranged 'trilogy' though. The others are 21 Grams and Babel if you haven't seen them! Always a lot of emotion in his films and his trademark appears to be intertwining a handful of tales with a common theme, usually involved with human emotion; love, loss, isolation, for example.

cake and fine wine, it's like the Big Lebowski, eminently quotable and has its own fan conventions as a result

To those who have not yet seen 'Withnail and I'...your life will never be complete, until you have.

In your opinion... many would disagree

The two films don't make for a stark comparison, considering the similarities they share - continuous swearing and drug/drink intake, irreverent style, brilliant scripts... they are both classic comedies imo, i watched both countless times growing up and in college... although Withnail has a more bittersweet edge to it than BL that may not appeal to some

I have an allergic reaction to anything that enjoys a cult status amongst the testosterone college population. Maybe that has informed my view of it to an extent, but I felt it was a mediocre film from a mediocre writer. Will give it another go at some point, probably...:\
