I'd make you slight favourite. I think Ghostbusters has wider appeal, but Withnail (which, to my shame, I haven't seen) seems to be one of those films with a really obsessive following.

Ghostbusters is a fun movie, but ultimately a bit of a silly romp. Withnail is a classic which works so brilliantly and captures all the eccentricities of englishness. It's a truly beautiful film.

And then there's Monty....

I'm not so sure I'm favourite, will be pretty close I think. Ghostbusters was definately part of my youth (I had the action figures and the theme song was the first single I ever bought!), and I'll have no problem if Withnail & I goes out to it.
 
Hmm ... coming from the bloke who wanted all The Beatles albums put together in a pre draw before Battle of the Albums IIRC :stunned:

Oy! Just because you got knocked out in the first round. If you're questioning my neutrality I will get Mrs MK round with a feather duster!
