Movies starring Jim Dale

Carry on Jack (1963)

91 mins     Comedy      

"Carry on Jack" isn't the worst "Carry On" movie it's not even a bad "Carry On" movie but it almost doesn't feel like a "Carry On" movie at all. Firstly it actually has a storyline, a comedy one but still a storyline which is...

Carry on Cabby (1963)

91 mins     Comedy      

One of the biggest criticisms that people have of the "Carry On" movies is that they are all the same and rarely have anything close to a proper storyline. And in a way they are right because the better known "Carry On" movie...

Carry on Spying (1964)

87 mins     Comedy      

"Carry on Spying" is what I would call old school "Carry On", the sort of "Carry On" movie which was made before the name "Carry On" became synonymous with being sex comedies. As such it has a reasonable storyline as it pasti...

Carry on Cleo (1964)

92 mins     Comedy      

Occasionally the brains behind the "Carry On" movies liked to have fun with recognizable characters and historical stories rather than just coming up with something new. One of those movies is "Carry on Cleo" which takes the ...

Carry On Don't Lose Your Head (1966)

90 mins     Comedy      

There is one major problem when you watch the later "Carry on" movies and that is they end up a much of a much ness. Strip away whatever the storyline is supposed to be about and what you are left with is the same old thing, ...

Carry on Screaming! (1966)

97 mins     Comedy, Horror      

For many Sid James epitomised the "Carry On" movies but ironically it is his absence due to illness and Harry H. Corbett stepping in to his part that is one of the reasons why "Carry on Screaming!" is for me one of the better...

Carry on Cowboy (1966)

93 mins     Comedy, Western      

In 1958 there was a comedy western called "The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw" which was about an English gentleman who rolls into the Wild West and through a matter of mistaken identity and confusion ends up becoming sheriff of a ...

Carry on Doctor (1967)

94 mins     Comedy      

"Carry on Doctor" is not one of the better "Carry On" movies but it is one of my favourites because it features all the "Carry On" cast such as Sid James, Barbara Windsor, Jim Dale, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey and the w...

Carry on Follow That Camel (1967)

95 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Romance      

"Carry on Follow That Camel" was originally released as just "Follow That Camel" and that is probably a better title for it. The simple reason is that although it is a "Carry On" movie with many regular faces cast in central ...

The Plank (1967)

45 mins     Comedy      

Movie Review - The Plank (1967) Tommy Cooper and Eric Sykes star as the two workman delivering plenty of mishap fun as they head out to get the plank they need to finish a building...

Carry on Again Doctor (1969)

89 mins     Comedy      

"Carry on Again Doctor" is the exception to the rule when it comes to the "Carry On" movies because whilst many of those which were made in the second half of the 60s and 70s were little more than a series of set piece gags t...

Pete's Dragon (1977)

128 mins     Adventure , Family, Fantasy      

Pete's Dragon: Pete (Sean Marshall) and his pink haired dragon Elliott have runaway and arrived in Passamaquoddy where Nora and her father Lampie help him...

The Spaceman and King Arthur (1979)

93 mins     Adventure , Comedy, Family      

If you'd said the name Dennis Dugan to me a couple of weeks ago I would have racked my brain and eventually said he has directed a fair few Adam Sandler movies. What I wouldn't have remembered is the Walt Disney movie I saw a...

Carry on Columbus (1992)

92 mins     Comedy      

For a long time "Carry on Columbus" was the only Carry on movie which I hadn't seen, partly because it got slammed by the legion of "Carry on" fans and partly because unlike the other "Carry on" movies it is never shown on TV...
