Carry On Cleo (1964)
Anthony and Cleopatra as you are unlikely to have seen them before...
Carry On Cleo is definitely one of the classics of the series and probably is the film with the strongest plot. It begins with the Roman invasion of Britain, led by Julius Caesar (Kenneth Williams) and his trusted friend, Marc Anthony (Sid James). Among the slaves captured and taken back to Rome are struggling inventor Hengist Pod (Kenneth Connor) and his new neighbour, Horsa (Jim Dale).Following an attempt on Caesar's life, Pod is mistakenly credited with foiling the assasins and made Caesar's bodyguard for among other things, the journey to Egypt and the domain of the beautiful but cunning Cleopatra (Amanda Barrie, right)...
Carry On Screaming (1966)
In Carry On Screaming, the Carry On team venture into the world of spoof horror with both creepy and hilarious results.Sergeant Bung (Harry H Corbett) and his blundering sidekick Constable Slobotham (Peter Butterworth) are investigating a series of mysterious disappearances of young women. When a young man (Jim Dale) swears that a mannequin in a shop window is his missing girlfriend, the resulting line of inquiry eventually leads the pair to the eerie mansion inhabited by Dr Watt (Kenneth Williams) and his beautiful sister Valeria (Fenella Fielding, right) as well as an assortment of other, curious entities...

To say that this is one of the movie bargains of the year does not begin to cover it!
Carry On Camping (1969)
Without a doubt, Carry On Camping is one of the best and funniest of all the Carry On Films.Sid Boggle (Sid James) and Bernie Lugg (Bernard Bresslaw) take their somewhat innocent girlfriends to the Paradise Campsite (mistaking it for a nudist camp that they saw in a film) in the hope that it will lower their inhibitions. What they find instead is a muddy field, devoid of all facilities bar a small wash-house. Their fellow campers, however, include a group of girls from "Chayste Place" Finishing School, among whom is Babs (Barbara Windsor, right,) the Potters on their annual camping holiday which Mr Potter (Terry Scott) always "loves" and of course the girls' school's responsible adults, Dr Soaper (Kenneth Williams) and the woman besotted with him, Miss Haggard (Hattie Jacques).
A whole host of comical episodes result from this mixed group's interactions, culminating when a group of hippies arrive to hold an all night rave in the next field.
