Withnail and I
Griffiths is perhaps best known for his role as the predatory Uncle Monty in Bruce Robinson’s 1986 cult classic. Withnail and I is a semi-autobiographical dark comedy starring Richard E. Grant as the out-of-work actor Withnail, who, along with the story’s narrator, Marwood, make the unwise decision of leaving their Camden home for a cottage in the Cumbrian countryside. Upon Uncle Monty’s abrupt arrival, he makes a sexual beeline for Marwood with hilarious consequences. Complete with its Jimi Hendrix soundtrack, the film captures the intellectual and economic strife of the late 1960s. 
The History Boys
The History Boys follows eight working class grammar school students all vying to win scholarships to Oxbridge in the early 1980s. Griffiths plays the eccentric teacher, Hector, alongside Stephen Campbell Moore, and it is under his guidance that the class grapples with questions ranging from their sexuality to the causes of World War II whilst preparing for their final year exams. Heart-warming with a genius, sharp-witted script from Bennett.
Chariots of Fire
Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahamsplay the roles of a Scottish evangelical and Cambridge-educated Jew who ran for Great Britain in the 1924 Paris Olympics. This is a truly inspiring film about human limits, sacrifice and overcoming adversity. Chariots of Fire scooped four Oscars and has perhaps one of the most famous opening sequences in film history.
Sleepy Hollow
is Tim Burton’s take on Washington Irving’s historic legend of the headless horseman. Set at the turn of the nineteenth-century, Johnny Depp plays the role of Constable Ichabod Crane, who is investigating a series of deaths in the Hudson Valley, whilst Griffiths plays Magistrate Philipse.
