Carry on Cleo (1964)
Carry On Heaven
Carry on Cleo stands head and shoulders above the rest of this variable comic series, combining a genuinely witty script, excellent performances and good production values (thanks to the use of sets from the previous years Burton-Taylor production).
it seems that the scriptwriter and cast,let off the normal constraints of the series, were determined to excel.
In addition to the oft-quoted Kenneth Williams line ('Infamy, Infamy, they've all got it in for me!'), there are other gems; 'Ptolemy?' , 'I AM TELLING YOU!!!', and to Gloria, the British girl who falls ill aboard ship - 'Oh well, Sic Transit Gloria!'.
If you only see one Carry On film, make sure that this is it.

The Blue Lamp (1950)
Scotland Yard hunts down cop-killers
Seminal UK crime film from the 1950's that made a matinee idol of Dirk Bogarde as the young crook. The film served as useful propaganda for the police to show how far crime fighting and criminology had come since before the second world war.
The full resources of the metropolitan police are brought to bear in the search for two young crooks who murder a police officer during a robbery at a cinema. Incidentally, Jack Warner's character, George Dixon (the policeman who is murdered in the film) was resurrected years later, as the central character in the BBC television series 'Dixon of Dock Green'.
