I agree, Many of the ones I mentioned may be more enjoyable to kids, but even then most of them are still a decent viewing.
I threw them in, figuring someone may get a kick out of it.
Would suggest that you start with the earlier Carry on films first, as they were some of the best Wikipedia has a nice list of the films.
But they are all enjoyable, however the ones with Sid James tend to quiet a bit more bawdy.
And If you enjoy those, would suggest getting a hold of DVD's of some of the older BBC tv series such as Blackadder, Yes Minister, etc.. While not exactly the same thing, the sense of humour in many cases is the same, ad lib a bit dryer. |
Oh, I have a copy of the entire Blackadder series .... all the way to Blackadder Goes Forth. I sort of kind of HAD to have those because the character of Percy Percy was based on one of my great x 48 or so grandfathers. I really hope he wasn't quite that big of a twit.
