Format:Blu-ray
This is my favourite film of all time the conversion to blu ray is good you can actually see posters and labels in the kitchen previously just a blurry mess.
What impressed me the most was the sound quality the initial music as you turn it on with a decent digital sound set up it feels like your there. I've had this film on every format and must have seen it 30 times and still probably will watch it again. Highly recommend.

Format:Blu-ray
Like other reviewers, this is one of my all time favorite films and I've upgraded from my original VHS, to DVD, to the digitally enhanced 20th Anniversary version DVD, each version benefiting from improved quality, and now finally (?) to the Blu-ray transfer.
I debated about whether or not to bother to buy on Blu-ray because when produced in the 80's this was a low budget production and to have a Blu-ray transfer seemed like it might be a waste of time if the original recording was not of the highest quality.
I am pleasantly surprised. Obviously the quality is not anything like a new feature film but it is yet another step up from the enhanced DVD. It was interesting to watch again with so much more detail showing in the darker scenes especially. Every scene is sharper and brighter. I would say that if like me, you adore Withnail & I then the Blu-ray transfer is a worthy upgrade from DVD.

`Withnail and I' is quite possibly the funniest British movie I've ever seen, even though it's not even trying to be funny. Read more

Someone get some subtitles on this movie!
I have so far been unable to find this with any subtitles at all. It's not only the hard of hearing who miss out, but anyone whose first language isn't english. Read more
