Are any of the
Carry On films any good? If so, please tell me which one you feel is the best, with your rationale for why that is. Because I would be using this question as a possible springboard to watching one or more of the films, I'd like to request that you not include any of the actual jokes in your answers
(e.g., "'Nurse, where's this man's tits?' Classic line!" None of that, please).
