Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 28, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2014 It's a terrible post, really. A complete lack of understanding of that entire genre of films, not just Carry On. Â Good to see Famous Mortimer posting his disagreement on there though. The biggest surprise for me was that forum was still going, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted May 28, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 28, 2014 "I still laugh at Carry On films, only ironically though" Â Oh fuck off. Â "I do agree with the Behind-loving (ooo-err) up-thread. It's one of the best ones and probably the most under-rated." Â No. No, no, no. I can't even think what's in Behind that he might find so appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted May 29, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted May 29, 2014 That article went to great pains to suggest that you'd better decontextualize Carry On films - forget that you liked them, and that the cast members were a big ugly family of comedians, and then you won't like them. Or life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shep Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 A bit of a specialist subject for me... The late seventies/early eighties Saturday nights consisted of watching Starsky & Hutch, Match Of The Day and a Carry On after Grandad went to bed... Â Anything pre-Cabby meant little to me, National Service, boarding schools and no Sid, until he joined the regular cast I feel the Carry Ons weren't proper Carry Ons. Â I always thought the best Carry Ons were the seaside postcard ones, ...Camping, Abroad, Girls and Behind and the historical epics, Up The Khyber, Dick, Cleo etc. I'll lump Behind in there as perhaps the best of the post-Sid era with Windsor Davies doing an admittedly poor man's Sid, Elke Sommer was certainly responsible for a few pre-teen awakenings. I am keeping dirty caravan and am looking for scrubbers... Â To this day, and to the bemusement of my much younger other half, I refer to chips as chippings.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted April 7, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) "Carry on Emmanuelle" is such a depressing film. After watching it (on DVD, because you'll never see it on TV. Every time I've seen it on TV, it's been on BBC, for some reason.) it made me feel rather sad. Awful, awful film. Â Film might have worked if they could have actually got Sylvia Kristel to do the main role. She would have been game enough for anything that paid a few bucks. Still would be pretty average though. Â It's odd that they chose the "Emmanuelle" film to parody as well. It's a really dark, grim film. Especially the second half of the film.

Especially the second half of the film.  I can't really think of another film they could have parodied — hardcore films were both a bit too strong and a bit too illegal in most circumstances in the UK, but it was surely a last throw of the cinematic dice at that point. The lower end of the British film industry was rapidly falling lower and lower, and the choice was probably dirtier or more violent — Emmanuelle was definitely a watchword for mildly porny movies, and thankfully (I mean, maybe thankfully) we were spared Carry On Straw Dogs, where Terry Scott pushes Ken harder and harder, till he just can't take any more.

kidkris Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 The thing with the carry on collection is that it was british slapstick comedy at its best, when you make as many films as they made there will be dips in bits and bats of them but my god watching them back even to this day there still funny and that too me shows how well made the films were/are. Â Its hard to pick one favorite for the reasons above. Â camping is fantastic doctor i re watched the other day and still makes me laugh matron once again is fantastic.
