Favourite Carry On Film.
What's your favourite Carry On movie? Why?
Or do you hate them, and why?
I think
Carry On Doctor
Carry on Screaming
Carry on Cowboy
are my favourites. Kenneth Williams is in all of them and the knowledge that he was frustrated straight (sic) actor just makes him funnier. Also the humour was so juvenile, puerile and silly it is quite innocent.

The story behind the making of Carry on camping is hysterical.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:Carry on abroad and camping are mine.

Me & a mate watched carry on camping a couple of months ago, much funnier now than when I when I first watched them, Kenneth Williams gives a legendary performance in it3

Mine is Carry on at your Convenience, which was one that failed at the box office apparently because of the strikes and unions at the time! But I love it3

Screaming is the best by far . Still stands the Test of time while most of the others look terribly dated.0

Abroad
Convenience
Behind2 -
Why do all actors look so old and pervy in the 60s and 70s though?
Sure that some of them are younger than me now but looked 20 years older then.0 -
Mine too, although love all of them. Up the Kyber & Camping a close 2nd & 3rd.uie2 said:Mine is Carry on at your Convenience, which was one that failed at the box office apparently because of the strikes and unions at the time! But I love it
When we lived in North London my wife taught at a school in Hampstead and taught a lot of actors kids. One grandparent was Diana Copeland and when they had a fund raising auction, she donated a signed Sid James photo from Bless this house. I wanted it so badly I ended up bidding against myself for it. She attended the evening and signed it herself when I won it and we had a good chat about the carry ons and she said how much fun she had filming them.5 - Sponsored links:

Carry on whatever one is the shortest.
Absolute bobbins the lot of ‘em.0 -
Camping is the best "My usual charge is ...a pound!"
Convenience "Everybody out"
Screaming "Frying tonight"
Well, they make me laugh anyway. Harmless postcard humour, eminently British.1 -
Screaming - Fenella Fielding!
Khyber - Sir Sydney Rough-Diamond. That's the first time I have ridden by cow, bullocks reverend, no its absolutely true.
Follow that Camel - With Phil Silvers as Sergeant Knocker.
Guilty pleasures one and all.1 -
They all seem the same to me. I really can't remember.0

Carry On Up The Jungle
Carry On Doctor
are two of my favourites.
Has there ever been another group of actors who have made so may films together?
The jokes are so obvious but so funny. here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CppadFdNpAI0 -
Carry on up the Khyber and Carry on Cleo for me
I do like Carry on at your convenience as well, as for a Carry on film it's surprisingly satirical

Up The Khyber, there is no contest. The only Carry On to be nominated for both a BAFTA and Academy Award.0

Don’t lose your head and Follow that camel weren’t Carry On films when they first came out if I remember correctly, they had the Carry On it added to the name many years later.Cordoban Addick said:Screaming - Fenella Fielding!

Carry on Nurse.
Still get a pang of disappointment when I go into a hospital and the nurses aren’t busty little sexpots in a proper 60s nurse uniform.3 -
It’s not out yet, but carry on running Charlton Athletic
Roly - played by Sid James
Chris Parkes - Charles Hawtry
Katrien - Babara Windsor
Sue Parkes - Bernie Eccleston (guest appearance)

'And swing...and fling'...
As a 9/10 year old, I must have worn out the pause button on the VHS trying to gaup at Bab's knockers!3 -

Ha, ha. On holiday recently me and the missus would have a cuppa after breakfast every day whilst watching about 20 ridiculously fit, young Russian women doing a yoga session put on by the hotel, which involved exactly this.JohnBoyUK said:'And swing...and fling'...

The only prayer I would make in that situation would be for my missus to allow me to face in that direction.Bournemouth Addick said:
