Due to copyright dispute this is a rarity but is a corker. If you can see it it has all the greats and is as funny as anything that Ealing produced.
Orlando's follow-up to LOTR is a geniunely sweet and funny sports comedy. Never shown, it really is a good, kind-hearted, and laugh out loud film.
Not strictly a comedy, more a comedy drama with sports, it's uplifting and captures something of Britain's shipbuilding and is most like the Full Monty (but with swimming trunks). A great film full of heart.
Fairly rare Peter Seller's Navy Film. There's a follow-up Further Up The Creek with Frankie Howerd that is a real stinker....
Sid James in Pre-Carry on crime caper - silly in places, but overall great stuff!
Palin's spot-on gentle satire on Anglicanism in Victorian Britain. Pythonesque without the surreal.
Not exactly rare, but compared to My Fair Lady it is largely ignored and it is one of the best British Comedies of the 1930s.
British Army and National Service: all the usual crew...
Not seen as much as Terry-Thomas' others, with Sellers playing multiple roles, High jinx in the Colonies.
One of my favourites from the pre-Carry on golden age of British Comedy - usual class differences involving the Boating scene.....
Terrific who's who list and the best use of a tontine (where the person who dies last gets it all) ever...a complete riot with Dudley Moore, Peter Cooke, and Michael Caine, and a huge host of others....
If you can find it this is an extraordinary film about one man's stand-up show of how he travelled the world using Google. Sounds boring, trust me, it's not....
Hardly a rarity - best British double bill ever - this and Chariots of Fire - but it's fallen off the radar so I'll let it in. Quite simply one of the best teenage in love, and the best Scots comedy script - sharp, very funny, and sweet.
