I'm not saying its the worst... I just know its a pretty dire one.

Frankly, several Carry On movies are dire... but there are a few really good ones.

The film that proved Patrick Mower can't do comedy (as someone wrote at the time).... however, I saw him on stage with Dennis Waterman in Keith Waterhouse's Bing-Bong and he was very funny!

Another one that i think is great is The Amazing Mr Blunden, although it gets very little recognition.

Haven't noticed but may be wrong, has anyone mentioned, A Room For Romeo Brass or Wonderous Oblivion yet?
As it goes, and I may well be in the minority here, I enjoyed Swing with Lisa Stansfield and Hugo Spear too.

A few more that appear to have been missed (or I might have missed them). Not all great - but all of interest:

Absolute Beginners
Bhaji on the Beach
Pool of London
The Glass Cage (a cracking early Hammer B thriller)
80,000 Suspects
Jigsaw (this and the above - 2 fine Val Guest films)
The Psychopath
The Skull
Nightmare
Mumsy, Sonny, Nanny and Girly (4 of Freddie Francis's best as director)
From Beyond The Grave (Amicus's best anthology)
Sapphire
The Damned (well, I think it's great...)
Things to Come
The Private Life of Henry VIII
The Terror (Norman J Warren's best film)
Red Road
London To Brighton
The Warrior
The Earth Dies Screaming
Glastonbury (the Julien Temple version)
Pink String and Sealing Wax
City of the Dead (Horror Hotel in the US)
Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire (Alan Clarke - a fascinating curio)
Quatermass 2 (unless it's under its US name which I can't remember)
Plague of the Zombies

And I'm prepared to defend each one!

Tim thankyou for agreeing what a gem and it deserves more than it gets in recognition.
