Does anyone like Carry On films? [guilty emoticon]

[BalloonSlayer]

Saw a TV programme this morning re the Queen, and the Royal Yacht Britannia. These guys that had worked there for xxxx years said they had watched films with the Royal Family in the yacht's improvised cinema.

Chap was asked for an example of a film he had seen with the Royal Family and named "Carry on up the Khyber." He then went on to relate at length what it was about.

Well I am a feminist. No, I AM! But I was delighted. I love Carry on up the Khyber. And a lot of the others. But not all! Some of them are crap.

Any one else. Or am I a bit plastered?

Nice to see so many fellow-fans

Absolutely loved them as a child. Love Sid James laugh, Frankie Howard's pained noises and faces, all the innuendo loved it. Carry on Screaming was my favourite. And Carry on Camping.

WC Boggs and Sons
Sir Sidney and Lady Ruff-Diamond ('I have hidden fires Sidney' 'Yes, but now your bung full of clinker') & the Khazi of Kalabar
Dr Nookie
Els Bells

Most of the later ones were just smut, but the earlier ones were top quality innuendo.
They're so non-PC we can't believe we're laughing at them sometimes

Hi everyone,

Just moving this great thread into films. OP please do shout if this is a problem for you.

[RTKangaMummy]

We love them in our house too

One of my fav scenes is at the end of Cowboy with Jim Dale in the drains shooting at Sid James and his crew

I like elements of COF's some of the actors were funny. Kenneth Williams in particular. But I'd rather eat sand than sit through one now!

Carry on screaming with the gorgeous fenella fielding in that dress!! Oh my

And Jim dale - I had a big crush on him too

I also like up the khyber too

Totally against my modern feminist beliefs....

As my name may suggest, I'm hugely enjoying reruns of Round The Horne at the moment on the Radio iPlayer app. Now they really have aged well.

Agree that Carry on Cabby is rather sweet.

That's just it though, you can't look at pop culture or high art for that matter, from so long ago, through the lens of 21st century political correctness and get all indignant. Different time - different planet ..

I remember watching them when I was younger, I liked carry on abroad best I think. bloding this and bloding that.
Been watching on the buses recently.

I was brought up on them, as was my dd. Love watching them when I'm feeling stressed or down. Also on the buses. I am happy to admit it!

Has anyone heard anything about a new Carry On film being made? All I know is that it might be called 'Carry On Again' and it's due out in 2017. Perhaps with Sheridan Smith??

I think the films are great generally, but as already said upthread, some are better than others.

was on last weekend; one of my favourites.
