Carry on films are so dated

Just watching Carry on England on TV. I used to love these films as a kid. Maybe I'm getting old

Oxymoron right here

Isn't there a Box Office forum for film talk?

That's for educated film buff's like me.

I wanted the crud of opinion on them not intellectual reference and analysis

I still watch Laurel and hardy, just because it's dated doesn't meant it's not funny.

Good comedy transcends time

easyrider · 28 Aug 2011 at 01:59

Yeah...I guess its not as daring and dirty as once thought.

Tummy · 28 Aug 2011 at 02:00

Would that not be your own fault? exposing yourself to more "daring and dirty" comedy since which could have spoilt your more innocent enjoyment from the film?

Agreed. But that was serious comedy

Duuno

I just laughed at

" as blue as a baboons arse" so It still has pockets of greatness I guess

I still watch Harold Lloyd.

(not that I am old enough for the original showing of course)

I used to watch him, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and the aforementioned Laurel and Hardy and still do when they are on the TV.

I also watch all the b&w science fiction stuff, like Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon.

Tummy · 28 Aug 2011 at 02:08

Buster Keaton & Roscoe Arbuckle

Do enjoy watching old film/cinema.

As for science fiction? pfft

it's all about King Kong

That happened before the 60's. I would argue that is timeless.

Carry on is not.

I must admit some of the Carry On's are a bit dated, but I think it depends on which one as to whether it is still funny or not.

Not all the Carry On films were that good to begin with.

Even though most of the Carry-On films were recorded before I was born, I still rate them. Give me a good Carry On over most stuff from nowadays.

No

I love carry on films, guess they just appeal to my crude male sense of humour

Always win though

Casual racism and overt sexism at its finest.

Just gonna leave that there, I think

Certainly doesn't have that timeless feel that other material has from that era.
