Withnail and I is a British comedy and succeeds brilliantly at being funny. Good comedies are rare. An Education is a very sober drama, quite well made and enjoyable, but nothing I would really be drawn to view a 2nd time, at least not for a long time. I've seen Withnail and I at least 5 times and, since I have the DVD, maybe I will see it again now.
I don't get the comparison at all. Then again, I found Avatar much more enjoyable than An Education, so I'm not on your wavelength in any case.
