Withnail & I is a cult movie here in the UK - I've seen it two or three times. Paul McGann is one of Britain's finest actors, one of five (I think) acting brothers, and he once played Doctor Who.

I'm acutally Scottish but i don't know much about Paul McGann. I think this one of few great films that isn't well known.

I've watched Yojimbo, but haven't gotten to Sanjuro yet. Got Touch of Zen & Withnail & I, but once again haven't gotten to them yet (I did start Touch of Zen once, but circumstances were against me). I've seen Nausicaä of the Valley of the Winds more times than I can remember, I even bought the Special Edition R2 set (with the print and figurines). I keep thinking about Tati, but I'm not sure I would start with Play Time.

I started with Playtime and it's my favourites of his films. To me it dosen't matter too much what order to watch them in.
