Can Anyone Explain

[Stargazer]

why the film Withnail and I is worth watching. (btw it should be Withail and me!)

[Ken4155]

No it shouldn't.

[Stargazer]

It should be Withnail and me to be grammatically correct.

[JimF]

No, it should be Withnail and I.

[Stargazer]

No you are wrong.

[jno]

Withnail goes
I go
Withnail and I go.

[JimF]

In what language?

[goodgoalie]

It should be 'Withnail and I' if they are the subject of the sentence

[Stargazer]

So would you like to come with Withnail and me? Or would you like to come with Withnail and I? Would you like to come with I (if Withnail cannot make it?)

[JimF]

Oh boy!

"Withnail and I" is the title of the film. "I" is obviously nominative, not accusative.

[Ken4155]

If Withnail's not going, neither am i.

[Stargazer]

Anyway, back to the film. Is it rubbish?

[Paigntonian]

It's awful.

[Stargazer]

I have wondered what all the fuss was about as it is supposed to be a very popular film.

[jno]

I like it.

“I think the carrot infinitely more fascinating than the geranium. The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts. Prostitutes for the bees. There is, you'll agree, a certain je ne sais quoi, oh so very special, about a firm, young carrot.”

[Calibax]

I think it acquired student cult status when used as a drinking game (you match Withnail's intake drink for drink while watching the film).

[bednobs]

So as hm the Queen wrong when she said "my husband and i"?

[Stargazer]

She is correct if saying "My husband and I will be at Balmoral this summer" but not if she says "Megan and Harry are coming to stay with my husband and I at Balmoral this summer". That is wrong. Omit the "my husband" bit and you will see.

It's a great film - you either get it or you don't.
Are you asking because you might want to watch it or because you watched it & didn't like it?
If you say which films you think are good maybe we could say why it will or will not suit your tastes. It's just subjective.

[Spicerack]

I think Stargazer just wanted a £1 argument, dave.

[Peter Pedant]

X and I - - subject
Y does something to X and me - object

( nominative and accusative to Latinists)
we arent really arguing about this are we?

I Claudius - not me claudius

Yeah yeah foo I was at Hospital having a dressing by Dr
and the assistant asked which dressing:
"Mefix, Doctor?" and I said "yeah, you fix!"

Mefix is a kinda dressing - - sozza
