Without a doubt Carry on up the Khyber. Just the name of Sid James' character - "Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond" gets me every time. An honorary mention for Peter "Pound" Butterworth in Carry on Camping.
Mine is Carry on at your Convenience, which was one that failed at the box office apparently because of the strikes and unions at the time! But I love it
Mine too, although love all of them. Up the Kyber & Camping a close 2nd & 3rd.
When we lived in North London my wife taught at a school in Hampstead and taught a lot of actors kids. One grandparent was Diana Copeland and when they had a fund raising auction, she donated a signed Sid James photo from Bless this house. I wanted it so badly I ended up bidding against myself for it. She attended the evening and signed it herself when I won it and we had a good chat about the carry ons and she said how much fun she had filming them.
Unfortunately my wife can't stand them but often watch one with my mum when I go over to see her, she loves them too. I know the scripts off by heart but still crack up at the one liners.
I can't watch them now - simply because I have watched them so many times. But I do recall the joy of watching them in my younger days. It was a real treat when there was a Carry On film on tv.
Screaming and cowboy for me. Camping and doctor good solid performers. My favourite line is I think from carry on abroad when Babs is getting a drink in sids pub. Babs "have you got a large one" Sid "I've had no complaints so far!"
I love this exchange from Carry on again Doctor: -
Charles Hawtrey: There's more to it than that, sir. There have been other incidents with nurses. Kenneth Williams: Oh, come, come, Stoppidge. We both know that young doctors indulge in a bit of jiggery-pokery. Charles Hawtrey: Sir, I do not object to jiggery, but I do take exception to pokery
Comments
To think that we used to queue up at Eltham Palace, or the Gaumont where ever to get in to see these films.
Screaming - Foul. Feet. Smell. Something horrible.
Up the Khyber - "Fakir, off!" (The great Cardew Robinson)
Spying - "I cannot smoke those, they make me deaf..."
