[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 216093, member: 23"] Yes - it's not going to be for everyone. I think they fall into the category that people definitely know whether or not they like them. For me they have the benefit of nostalgia, but they're also fascinating little time capsules of a Britain that never was. The period films with fancy costumes are - in general - considered better, but the "contemporary" films are perhaps the most vintage looking ones because they've dated. There are all these Sixties and Seventies clothes, plus old shops, streets with hardly any traffic and British Leyland cars on the drives. All of which I love. The first six films had a different writer and were less broad than the series became. They were still formulaic, but there was also a real heart to them. Unfortunately, all the films tend to get grouped in together, and the early ones aren't the first image that comes to mind for most when the term "Carry On" is used. [/QUOTE]
