[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 214591, member: 8"] The Carry On movie appears to be one of those things that belongs in a Quintessential British Top 10. I'm only familiar with the French equivalent, the Louis De Funès movies, hysterical comedies with a whiff of ooh-la-la - and lots of shouting in French. I don't remember if I enjoyed them, but since movies-on-TV were rather scarce in those days (especially the more recent ones) it didn't seem very relevant. I wouldn't mind checking out a Carry On movie to see what it has to offer apart from the comedy itself, but without the nostalgia and without the fun of recognizing actors whom - I assume - never became household names outside the UK, it might be quite a different experience for me. Not to mention the possible references to aspects of life in 1960s England, all those things I'm painfully unaware of. [SIZE=3]Gee, I didn't mean to make it sound so disclaimer-ish.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
