Editorial Reviews

Synopsis
This great collection includes all 30 CARRY ON FILMS. Spanning 2 decades, the themes may shift and the movies change from black and white to colour, but the outrageous humour of the irrepressible CARRY ON cast is ever-present.

Stop Messin' About...5
I don't think that anyone reading this will need any description or review of the actual films. They are classics of British comedy and everyone knows what to expect from them.
What I don't see mentioned in the description from Amazon is the extras, so here's a run down of what you'll get for your money:

30 Carry On Films (everything excluding Carry On Columbus).
Each disc has trailers, still galleries & production/trivia notes.
All 13 Episodes of the ATV series "Carry On Laughing."
The Official 40th Anniversary documentary "What's A Carry On?"
Interviews with Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Terry Scott & Phil Silvers.
textless footage from Carry On Jack & Carry On Spying.
An alternative Director's Cut of Carry On England.

So, all that For £65 - what are you waiting for? Stop messin' about and buy it now.

Oooo Matron!5
Before i go on with my review let me make one thing clear: THESE FILMS ARE REMASTERED! Several posts have claimed this is not the case but all of the 30 discs on this wonderful collection have been restored to an amazing point. Maybe our reveiwers are wanting 5.1 DTS and Lucasfilm to digitally enhance them all but that just isn't going to happen! What you do get though is a beautifully presented and well thought out collection of the Carry On movies.

All 30 films appear here (actually there are 31 but who really classes Columbus as a Carry on anyway?) On each disc is a good collection of extras including the Carry On Laughing series that aired during the 70's (It is worth saying that they weren't a patch on the movies but still worth a look.) A Commentary from various members of the cast (albeit secondary cast memebers but, still, you learn a lot more about the workings of a carry on movie than you thought you ever would) a series of production stills and publicity shots set to music and text fact files on the movies. All the movies are presented in widescreen but are FULL FRAME (not with black bars as said in another review). My advice? Buy this now because it won't stay at £60 forever!

Classic comedy5
I could not believe the price for 30 carry on films .These are my favorite comedy films ,there are some that I haven't seen but the majority are great classic films my favorite is carry on screaming . I would recomend this box set to anybody who loves a good laugh .
