Allmy life I had heard of the Carry On movies liek: Carry on Sergeant, Carry on Doctors,Carry on Constable etc--but never had see any--that is--untill I unexpectedly stumbled on one that TCM was playing yesterday. I went into it after it started--and what i was able to watch--had my sides splitting with all the laughter. Ihad not know what the name of the movie was unil a friend of mine in St' Albans Eng--told me what it was.

Well,that said, im officially a fan of them thar British made movies and will be seeking DvD info on them.

BTW--if any here liked those Carry On movies--you will also like: Invasion Quartet--another British made masterpiece. One of many things I admire about our buddies across the pond--is their sense of humoUr...

BTW, the one I saw on TCM yesterday--was: Carry on Constable. This one easily beats any of those Police Academy movies by a good stretch. I liked the fisrst coupleof those but--Carry on Constable--was superior.

Learn something new all the time in this forum.

I have been carried out of a few bars in my hell raising days.

One of the best British comedies ever has to be Only Fools and Horses. It's your typical old school British humor.

Ill have to look that one up since I actually understand their sense of humor. :-))

As a kid I saw a few of these on TV, but haven't seen one in years. Very British humor. Some at least were very funny.

I agree about Invasion Quartet. Great movie. I've seen one Carry On - Carry On Cowboy. Not very good, but I kinda think that was because the Brits just don't GET cowboy.

I have - but have not watched yet - Carry On Up the Khyber. It sounded interesting, and they SHOULD get the Khyber Pass, but just ain't got around to watchin' it.

I hate to admit it, but I do like British comedies. I think my favorite is "The Fast Lady" with James Robertson Justice. Jimmy Justice was heavily involved in British motorsports pre-WW2, and he plays one of The Bentley Boys in the movie.

If they are as good as what I saw w/ Carry On Constable? ill probably like them all. A good friend of mine in England is sending me a few he found. Ill givereviews on them as I see them.

Heh heh, reminds me of Easterns--that is--Czech made Westerns which are the worst of the worst ever made. The Czechs can make great war movies--but know zilch about the wild west.

Forgot to mention--look up John Alderson, he is a Brit and made many westerns--TV shows only I think? You could still hear his accent in a couplebut--he didnt do too badly. Same for John Mills--he was one of the leading stars in: Chucka--payed a Cavalry Officer with Ernest Borgnine as one of his Sergeants. Jim Dale--did afew Disney and other westerns--but they were comedies so wasnt bad but not great either.

Same here.I like most of their war movies,and other period movies as well as comedies and Courtroom stuff.
