I loved the Carry-On films; typical British saucy humour. I'm surprised the EU hasn't tried to ban them like the saucy postcards.

There were some great imaginitive names, such as W.C Boggs and Sons in carry-On at your convenience and Citizen Camenbert [the big cheese in revolutionary France] in Don't lose your head
 
Carry on Cleo had the best line in British cinematic history, as Julius Caesar (Kenneth Williams) was trying to escape his assassins: "Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!"

OK for those who have never seen it or heard of Ealing comedies, The Lavender Hill Mob is on C4 at 13:35. I highly recomend you watch it!

That's a classic. Lucky Jim, which has Ian Carmichael alongside Terry-Thomas in it, is on at the same time on BBC2. But I would choose Lavender Hill mob over that any day.

I wasn't a great fan of the Carry-Ons, although there's no doubt they were funny in parts. Carry On Sergeant was excellent throughout and was universally praised, I believe. Others I enjoyed were Carry On Constable, Cowboy, Up the Khyber, Steaming, and I couple more I can't remember. Later ones were awful, IMO.

One particular favourite line comes from Carry On Up The Khyber [Pass], when Kenneth Williams as The Khasi of Kalabar welcomes Sid James as Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond. And here it is too:
