Average Rating:	The Plank [1967] starring: Tommy Cooper, Eric Sykes, Jimmy Edwards, Roy Castle, Graham Stark directed by: Eric Sykes June 01, 1992		Used Price: Â£1.75
'The Plank' is an absolute classic, funny, hilarious. I have watched it umpteen times and I still find myself lying on the floor, laughing my butts off when I watch it again. I like to show it to my students in English lesson to demonstrate 'British humour', and then I sit in my corner finding it ravingly funny. My (German) students are mostly mildly interested. 'The Plank' obviously is British humour that does not offer its virtues to German teenagers at once. At least I had an enjoyable lesson, ain't that important ? I am now ordering a new copy since my old one is wearing out. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Pete's Dragon [1977] starring: Sean Marshall, Helen Reddy, Jim Dale, Mickey Rooney, Red Buttons directed by: Don Chaffey July 03, 2000		Used Price: Â£0.01
Pete (Sean Marshall) is a poor orphan. He's been adopted by the mean Gogan family run by the matriarch Lena (Shelley Winters). The Gogans make him work from morning til night and beat him for the slightest thing. So, naturally, he runs away. Only this time he has help in the form of Elliot. Elliot is a dragon. And while he doesn't always think about what he's doing, he means well. And he really wants to help Pete. Pete and Elliot happen to find the town of Passamaquoddy on the coast of Maine. Their first trip through town doesn't go well, so they find themselves out by the lighthouse, where they make friends with Lampie (Mickey Rooney) the lighthouse keeper and his adult daughter Nora (Helen Reddy). Have they ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Carry On Screaming [1966] starring: Harry H. Corbett, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims, Fenella Fielding directed by: Gerald Thomas August 18, 1997		Used Price: Â£0.01
clearly meant as a spoof on the "hammer" horror films, this is one of my favourite carry ons. the fact that sid james isn't in it does not matter, as harry h. corbett makes for a wonderful replacement as a police officer investigating the disappearances of young women in a local park. corbett's performance is a joy to behold. equally good in the supporting cast, are kenneth williams as the mad scientist, jim dale as the nervous boyfriend of one of the missing women and peter butterworth as corbett's clumsy assistant. for this particular carry on, a period setting was created and it looks extremely well done. one hiliarious scene, is when corbett and dale are sharing a double bed when a snake worms its way through. unaware of this, the two ...

Average Rating:	Carry On Cleo [1964] starring: Kenneth Williams, Sid James, Kenneth Connor, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims directed by: Gerald Thomas August 18, 1997		Used Price: Â£0.01
Everyone seems to rate this film highly, but it is not the best of the 'Carry On's' by far. True it probably is the most lavish, and true, it contains one of the best one liners, in the often quoted 'Infamy, Infamy,they have all got it in for me', but it truly has little else to commend it. Of the historical romps 'Carry on Henry' is funnier, but for the true classics we have to turn to 'Carry on Screaming', Carry on Camping','Carry on up the Khyber', and 'Carry on Don't Lose Your Head', all of which are vastly superior. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Carry On Cabby [1963] starring: Sid James, Hattie Jacques, Kenneth Connor, Charles Hawtrey, Esma Cannon directed by: Gerald Thomas August 18, 1997		Used Price: Â£1.37
This is my personal favourite Carry On. It was also Hattie Jacques favourite as it contains a strong touch of feminism. Whatever it's a great laugh and a clever plot full of side plots and corny love interest which holds your attention. If you've seen "She Devil" with Roseanne Barr you'll find something familar here as the plot is based on Carry on Cabby! >>More Details

Average Rating:	Carry On Doctor [1967] starring: Frankie Howerd, Sid James, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Williams, Jim Dale directed by: Gerald Thomas September 11, 1995		Used Price: Â£0.01
The patient is Francis Bigger, played by Frankie Howerd, and the line is a sly reference to the funniest scene in Carry On Nurse. It's probably the cleverest line in Carry On Doctor. Like Carry On Nurse, Carry On Doctor takes place in hospital and, as the movie says, is a bedpanorama of hospital life. The long-running Carry On movies were bawdy, low-comedy, good-natured madhouses that featured a repertory company of comics we came to recognize instantly. Here, the company is made up of Kenneth Williams, Jim Dale, Hattie Jacques, Sid James, Joan Sims, Charles Hawtrey, Barbara Windsor and Bernard Bresslaw, among others. They play the patients, the doctors and the nurses at Finisham Hospital. If you relish jokes about bedpans and hernias, where any possible activity ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Digby - The Biggest Dog In The World [1973] starring: Jim Dale, Spike Milligan, Angela Douglas, John Bluthal, Norman Rossington directed by: Joseph McGrath August 14, 2000		Used Price: Â£0.56
This is the greatest film ever made about an overgrown dog. Starring Jim Dale and Spike Milligan and a giant dog called Digby this is must see entertainment for all the family. I only hope this gets a DVD release soon with some special features. I for one would love to know where they found a dog big enough to play the part of Digby!!! Great fun for all the family. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Carry On Jack [1963] starring: Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Bernard Cribbins, Juliet Mills, Donald Houston directed by: Gerald Thomas August 18, 1997		Used Price: Â£0.01
carry on jack doesnt feel like a carry on movie,the wit isnt constant and the naughtiness isnt really there,in terms of cast only kenny williams and charles hawtrey can be called legends of the series and jim dale who only appears for the guts of 5 minutes all in all i would estimate. Bernie cribbins takes centre stage,he is ok in the few carry ons that he starred in but always looks awkward and this reflected that he never got to star in more. This is however the first period drama and the first time the cast got to dress up but this isnt a great and memorable film and few scenes would ever make a best off,the regulars try but they know that they are on a sinking ship of a movie,they know and this is rightly regarded as a mistake in the carry on legacy. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Carry On Columbus [1992] starring: Jim Dale, Bernard Cribbins, Maureen Lipman, Peter Richardson, Alexei Sayle directed by: Gerald Thomas June 26, 2000		Used Price: Â£4.99
Are the people planning on making Carry On London totally potty ? Modernising the Carry On's by bringing in a load of new comics & actors while making things too lewd with a barrage of single - entendres did not work in 1992 and for that reason will fail in 2008 . Julian Clary , Sara Crowe , Rik Mayell , Martin Clunes , Maureen Lipman , Richard Wilson , Alexi Sayle and Nigel Planner are just not the Carry On team . They have not the skills of people like Kenneth Williams , Hattie Jacques , Joan Sims , Bernard Bresslaw , Kenneth Connor , Sid James , Charles Hawtry & Peter Butterworth needed to play this kind of comedy . The scripting is feeble as Dave Freeman is not the writer that Talbot Rothwell was and Mr Freeman was not given enough time which explains why Carry On Behind was better ...
